 Abstract:
Bus Reservation System is a complete tourist fully integrated tourism application. This project is developed
to manage the tourist in the tourism management applicaion. The main module in this project are Customer
module, Ticket booking module, Bus schedule module,Bus route module, Booking module, Seat module .
Online Tour and Traveling Booking is a system that gives you facility of booking any type of Tours and
Travels.This system is made so that Customer will not have to Come to tourist agency to Book his\her
Tours.The project ‘Bus Reservation System’ is developed to replace the currently existing system, which
helps in keeping records of the customer,details of destination as well as payment received.In the present era
where “time” proves to be the most important asset for an individual by replacing the current register system
to fully computerize, it not only saves the precious asset that is time, but also accuracy, reliability and
uniformity can be maintained.This project is useful for the manager of the company as it helps them to
search the data faster than existing system, to get customer record easily and report of the customer,
payment, etc are generated as per requirement.

Motivation:
The main objective is to eliminate the manual reservation system. Making the reservation fast, user friendly,
avoid the unnecessary delay in reservation system. The new system needs to develop that can handle lots of
records and reports efficiently. It is currently maintaining the project transport company process manually.
Which is very time-consuming process. It deals with transport industry tickets booking and transport
maintenance. So, it becomes very tedious job for the ticket booking transporter to look after these particulars to
complete the task at right time. The bus ticket booking system not only deals with transporter owned vehicles
but also takes into aa considerations about the other type project of a system transport vehicle available with
transporter.
 Objectives:
The main purpose of this project is to automate the manual procedures of reserving a bus ticket for any journey.
This system is said to be an automatic system and customers can select seats by themselves. Specifically,
objectives of this project will consist of:

i. Providing a web based bus ticket reservation function where a customer can buy bus ticket
through the online system without a need to queue up at the counter to purchase a bus ticket.
ii. Capture of customer information such as name, address, phone number and email for sign up.
iii. Enabling customers to check the availability and types of busses online. Customer can check the
time departure for bus through the system.
iv. Allows users to select date, pick up time, destination point and select the seat of as per their
requirement.
v. Enables online payment for bus reservation.
vi. Ability of customers to cancel their reservation within given time.
vii. Admin user privileges in updating and canceling payment, route and vehicle records.

Literature review:
The prevalent view in various global circles is that man is presently living in an age growth of information
gathering, processing and dissemination, popularly called the information age. For this reason, managers and
other users of information especially in transport industries are demanding more kinds of information to support
management and operations. They must therefore respond to the increasing requirement for information and
data management.

Electronic tickets, or e-tickets, gives evidence that their holders have the permission to enter a place of
entertainment, use a means of transportation, or have access to some Internet services. The design of this online
system will be beneficial to the company because it has not existed before.

To spread comfort to passengers, to make profit, will definitely appreciate a system which can automate its
manual operations in the area of bus ticket reservation in order to meet customers increasing demand during
peak and off peak seasons. The ultimate expectation is to inspire a feasibility study aimed at providing proper
guidance and awareness to any future potential investors, particularly those in the bus industry, to consider
utilizing the transport, as a gateway to the fertile soil of unlimited opportunities.

Currently, staff at the bus ticket counter is using an internal system to sell tickets at the counter and customers
who are unable to buy bus ticket online at this moment would have to go to the counter to a buy bus ticket.
Sometimes, customers’ needs to queue up a long queue to buy bus ticket and ask for information and this brings
a lot of inconveniences to customers. However, Online Bus Ticket Reservation System enables the customer to
buy bus ticket, make payment, and ask for information online easily.Furthermore, staff can sell bus ticket using
Bus Ticket Reservation System after checking the bus ticket availability for the customer and print the bus
ticket to the customer.

Methodology
For any project to be completed, it has to go through stages called Development Life Cycles. System
Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is the process of understanding how an Information System (IS) can support
businessneeds, designing the system, building it and delivering it to users. The SDLC composes of four phases:
Planning, Analysis, Design and Implementation.In order for this project to be developed, the methodology that
will be used is the System Structured Analysis and Design Methodology. The SSADM is classified as a
Waterfall Development. With Waterfall Development, analyst and users proceed sequentially from one phase to
the next and each phase can be mapped out and evaluated. Below, in figure1.1 is a diagram on the waterfall
methodology.
