The project that is going to develop is of an online bus booking service. For the project we have to make a website by which the user will be able to book the tickets of the bus by sitting in the home. The website will be accessible from anywhere and anytime. The payment also made in online as their will be payment gateway that is implemented. The user first have to sign up in the website by filling up a form with valid details then an authentication will be made for the user. After the proper authentication the user will be able to log in to the website and then book the bus tickets. A database will be added with the website for storing the credentials of the passengers. The organization is a bus organization and for them the project will be made it will be convenient for the user and the organization as well to use the website for booking the bus tickets. There will be less human resource needed for this project as only one back officer will be there to operate and calculate the fare of the bus and then send back to the user who will book the tickets of the buses. There is mainly two activities one is booking the seat and then making the payment for the booking. In the recent time the all businesses are coming online and it is easier to access the website from home rather going outside. The online businesses have the chances of generating more revenue than the traditional businesses. This is basically the need of the business to generate high amount of revenue for the business. This project will be beneficial for the user as well as the business organization that is the bus organization for this project. In the project there will be many feature is added like the customer support. The website needs to be responsive so than in any device the website will be accessible with ease. The size of the organization is large and to maintain the large organization only traditional way was not enough so an online portal of the organization is must to divide the workflow. Many technologies is used in the website and the technologies must be stable. The server that will be used in the website must have the capacity of handling many people at a time so at a time many people will be able to access the website. the data storage will have to be in cloud so as any as data can be stored by the users and the passengers credentials will be stored for use further. A stable internet connection is must while the booking of the bus ticket if the internet connection is not stable then error can happen while booking the ticket. All the activities regarding to the ticket booking needs to be taken care of in order to complete the whole process successfully. After the successful completion of the booking the passenger will be able to take a soft copy of the ticket on the device or they can print the ticket.

Aim of the Project

According to Ahmed, 2016, electronic booking of the tickets will include the processing of the digital ticket booking system. The tickets that are electronically booked are equivalent to the paper tickets that are conventionally provided during the time of the journey. The terms of the online ticket booking ids generally associated with the processing of the booking of the tickets of the bus, airlines and trains. The processing will include the fact that the booking of the tickets are performed with the help of the processing of the data with the help of the digital ticket booking services. This process of online ticket booking is done for the public transport systems. This include the fact that the processing of the data management is due to the fact that the excess need f the tickets due to the excess demands of the tickets. This fact ensures that the processing of the data management will process the terminology of the travelling cards. Travelling cards are the newest innovation that are brought in the functioning of the ticket booking. The electronic ticket system involves the best procession of the terminology that will incur the processing of the ticketing services. This process is considered to be the most efficient ticket processing method and use the transit card. This processing is done due t the fact that the entire ticketing services will include the processing of the telephone and self service kiosk helps in the processing of the but availability including the fact that the efficient processing of the project is done. The terminology includes the fact that the early check in of the project will include the processing of the data management of the ticket booking. This includes the fact that the data processing will include the check in of the clients in the earlier stage in order to get the desired seats that are available in the processing of the ticket management. The tickets are printed in the exterior vending machines. This leads to the fact that the processing of the digital ticketing of the entire process is maintained and the data management is done with the help of the printing of the tickets that are generated in the processing of the data of the ticket services. this fact   ensures that the processing of the tickets will provide better efficiency to the clients and the location of the clients and the printing of the tickets are done by the local vendors once the tickets are generated. This helps the clients in gaining the processing of the data that are generated during the processing of the ticket and the data are evaluated and the data of the identification is made. The identity of the individuals are made with the help of the code that is sent to the individuals. The usage of the websites are done to access the processing of the data regarding the ticket booking. This ensures the fact that the data that is probed by the individuals are correct and up t the mark. This fact ensures that the personal information of the project is manifested and put into test before generation of the code. This manifestation is done to check the authentication of the individual, who is trying to book tickets of the bus. According to Ahmed, 2016, the websites are personalized and the websites are available on terms of the organizations that provide the processing of the ticketing. This ensures the fact that the clients who want to get the ticketing from the particular bus organization done access the website and gets the ticket done fir their journey.

This helps in the processing of the generation of the ticket, which will ensure the fact that evolution of the online ticket is provided with the utmost efficiency.

Potential value

According to Chauhan and Goyal, 2018, the process starts with the proceeding of the data from the client, who wants to get the tickets. The client who wants to get a seat reserved for him, logs in to the official website of the organization man data processing of the purpose is started. In today’s society to take the business to the international level, the business organization must take steps for digitizing the business. This digitizing the business helps in processing of the business globally and a lot of potential clients can get access to the processing of the organizations. The business organizations set up official websites of their respective organization taking into consideration the fact that the data processing of the clients can be made through this websites. This process not only increases the access o the clients but also increase the beneficial effectiveness of the client of the organization. The clients who want to book their bus seats of particular brands and organization goes to their official site. The individual who want to book the bus tickets needs to enroll him or herself and register them. This ensures the fact that the data of every client are stored from the processing of the entire project management. According to Bagrecha and Alam, 2016, the data regarding the processing of the website is very efficient as the website stores the details of the clients that has logged in it in the data base of the website. This fact helps in storing the information f the clients for the further issues. This fact if storing the information of the clients who has once logged in helps in the processing of the task much more efficiently leading to the fact that the security of the web services regarding the identity if the individual clients are maintained. This process helps in making the digitalized booking of bus ticket platform much more robust in nature. This robustness in the platform is used for gaining the trust of the individuals and the individuals access this websites for the processing of the bus tickets through online platform. This factor but only ensures the robustness of thee platform but also the processing of the data management in a least time consuming way. This helps in the processing of thee data management as the data that are once stored are not deleted. This helps in the processing of the business much faster as the clients do not need to provide the personal details more than once as ate details are already stored in the processing of the data base. The password that is set by the client acts as the identity of the clients. The client needs to provide the password that he has set previously during setting up of the account. On providing a viable password, the client is logged into his account and the processing of booking bus tickets can be made. After logging into the account, the client sets the location where the client is present at that point of time or the location from which the client would like to book the seat of the bus from. This ensures the fact that the seat of the bus gets booked in the processing of the data that is provided by the clients. This ensures the fact that the efficiency of the seat increases as the seat can be used more than once in a single journey. Once the location of the client is seat, the website navigator will lead the client to the destination setting location. This ensures the fact that the destination of the client is set and the seat of the client is booked until the set destination. This enables the fact that the destination that is set by the client will be done in an efficient way leading to the fact that the data processing of the client will efficiently set type processing of the setting of the destination. This helps in the processing of the data management of the clients regarding the booking of the online bus tickets. This helps in the processing of setting up of the location of the clients, the code is generated, and the client gets the process of the modeling of the ticket booking. This ensures the fact that the authenticity of the identity is maintained and the proclaimed, leading to the fact that the time management of the processing of the task is done properly and the efficiency of the rime management acts to be the major reason behind the processing of the evolution of the online bus booking technology.

According to Vyas, 2014, the growth in this technology is due to the fact that the running days mark the fact that the processing of the data management of the booking of the bus seats were time consuming previously. After the introduction of the online ticket booking of the bus tickets the time consuming efficiency has increased to a great level. The fact that the major concern of people is time in today’s society, saving time itself is the major reason for the growth of the technology. The growth n the fields of online booking of bus tickets are very efficient in nature. This ensures the fact that the terminologies that are instilled in the proficiency will endure the processing of the data management. There has been a growth of 23% in the recent years in the booking of the bus tickets after the introduction of the online bus ticket booking services. there has been a gross increase of the booking of the bus ticket using the digital platform by 43% since last 2 years. The total tickets booked with the help of the online bus ticket-booking platform have been 16% of the total tickets booked in the bus services. This fact stated that the acceptance of this technology is very high making this technology to be one of the fastest growing technologies of the globe. This technology is not only efficient but also secured in nature. This helps in the processing off the data management including the terminologies of the platform to be robust in nature.

The software  used in the terminology of the project is ASP.net. Microsoft, ensuring the fact that the usage of the platform is very potent in nature, supports this software platform. The processing of the bus reservation system includes the fact that the online purchasing of the ticket is easy to use for the processing of the booking system. the online bus ticket booking system is embedded in nature, taking into consideration the fact that website and bus ticket booking will check the routes that must be taken for the processing of the data that are used for the reservations.

The payment methodology is used for the processing of the payment of the reservation of the bus tickets through digital medium. The client data is stored in the data base of the passenger list.     

According to Thomas, Pathak and Vyas, 2014, the list of advantages of this technology is never ending. The major advantage is that the processing of the terminologies of the online booking of the bus tickets. This ensures the fact that the time taken for the manifesting of the bus ticket can be done throughout the day. The booking of the online bus tickets can be done by the processing of accessing the official website of the organization taking into consideration the fact that the transposing of the data management will ensure the fact that the location and the time during the booking of the bus ticket will never be an issue for the clients who are trying to get the tickets booked. This ensures the fact that the booking of the tickets gets easier and the processing of the ticket booking gets more efficient in nature. The commissions that are taken by the booking of the bus seats by the brokers can be deleted. This will ensure the fact that the cost incurred in the processing of the ticket booking decreases. This ensures the fact that the middle man cost is cut and the price decreases to a much lesser amount. Another advantage is that the processing of the online ticket booking ensures the fact that the discount code is available in the processing of the tickets through the digital platform. This is also a reason for the excess of the booking of the online bus tickets. This is the reason that ensures the increase in the purchasing of the tickets online through the processing of thee ticket purchasing online. Another major advantage is the ease in navigation of the ticket booking process. This ensures the fact that the ticket booking will be easier and the processing is done in a more efficient way. According to Bagrecha and Alam, 2016, the most important fact is that the selection of seats in the buses can be made, which ensures the fact that the seats can be selected among the available seats. This fact ensures that the data processing will be done with the proper maintenance. This process helps in getting favorable location during the time of the journey. The most important thing is that the time is saved by using the online platform. This ensures the fact that there is no need of queue formation regarding the processing of the data. This ensures the fact that the ticket processing can be done with the help of digital platform and the time consumed will be least. This processing will ensure that the entire efficiency processing increases to a great level and the ticket is processed with the help of the digitization. This process ensures the fact that the ticket processing can also be done with the help of digital payment method. The process of using digital payment method, the most important thing is that a person can book a seat for himself or herself even when he or she is cash less.

According to Bagrecha and Alam, 2016, the major disadvantages of this process of booking bus tickets digitally is that the processing of the online ticket buying is not very secured I nature. The securities of the encapsulation of the identity of the clients are not very robust in nature. The identity can be faked, leading to the fact that the processing of the identity theft is possible in the processing of the online ticket booking o the buses.  This fact ensures the fact that the seats booked in the bus can be booked by some ne else and the identity provided can be of some other individual. This ensures the fact that the processing of the identity is not secured. Another major disadvantage is that the processing of the ticket can be faked. In this case, of booking the ticket digitally the payment is made digitally, before getting the ticket in hand. Due to the technical glitches, the processing of the ticket can be stopped but the payment might be made during the processing of the ticket. This ensures the fact that the robustness of the processing of the technology is not present. This fact ensures the fact that the trust issues regarding the processing of the ticket are present among the mass. The major disadvantage is that the processing and purchasing of the ticket can be made only with the help of the digital payment method. Taking into consideration the fact that the neither mass is still not habituated to the digital payment the processing of getting the online bus tickets gets more difficult.
