Android Local Train Ticketing System

We propose to build a unique and easy to use local train ticketing

system for our final year project. The system allows users to
register and as soon as they register an account with unique id is
created in the system. User may book tickets for western central
and harbor lines and fare is calculated according to station distance.
This balance is later deducted from user account. User may later
recharge his account through an admin. Here we use the server on
a station. Android devices coming in wifi range of the server may
book tickets. Our system allows users to thus book tickets through
their android device.

 Member login/register: New users may register and login

to the system through server.
 Unique Id creation: Each time a new user registers a
unique id is generated for that user.
 Member account maintenance: Each member account
and his/her balance is maintained in the system.
 Account balance updating: The account balance is
updated each time the user wishes to recharge his account
through an admin.
