5.CONCLUSION
QR-Code implements the use of mechanisms

which can be further integrated to public
transport ticketing system thus providing
contactless transactions reliably, improved
efficiency along with simplicity. Contactless
infrastructures using encryption algorithm is
implemented through our proposed application
will be helpful for passengers and naive users as
well as professionals. Android application which
will be used for the checking a ticket and it will
make it easy for ticket checker to check whether
ticket is valid or invalid. With the use of QR
codes the problems for ticket reservations system
are overcome. The implementation of this project
enables to develop a QR code based ticketing
system which will make verification become
Fig.4(f) Android App for scanning easy. The Ticket details will be encrypted and
Encrypted QR ticket stored in the database. The ticket checker can
verify the passenger’s ticket easily.
