Bus Ticket Automation

Abstract

This project aims to develop an automated bus ticketing system leveraging a mobile application and cloud integration to enhance efficiency and user experience. The system addresses the limitations of traditional manual ticketing by providing online booking, real-time seat availability, secure payment gateways, and automated ticket generation. The development employs agile methodologies and incorporates user feedback for iterative improvements. The resulting system demonstrates improved operational efficiency, reduced administrative overhead, and enhanced customer satisfaction through a user-friendly interface and streamlined booking process.

Introduction

The current bus ticketing system often involves lengthy queues, manual ticket processing, and limited seat availability information, leading to inefficiencies and customer dissatisfaction. Manual processes are prone to errors and fraud. An automated system offers significant advantages, including reduced wait times, improved accuracy, increased revenue through online sales, and better resource allocation for bus companies. Existing solutions often lack comprehensive features or user-friendly interfaces, highlighting a need for a more integrated and efficient approach. This project addresses this gap by developing a robust and user-friendly automated bus ticketing system.

Objectives

• Develop a user-friendly mobile application for booking bus tickets.
• Integrate a secure online payment gateway for transactions.
• Implement a real-time seat availability and booking system.
