The current system for booking bus tickets is reliant on humans and can be cumbersome. This project aims to develop a web application that simplifies the ticket booking process, allowing students, employees, and anyone else to easily book bus tickets. Unlike existing applications that only provide information on travel destinations and fares, the application not only facilitates ticket booking but also stores the tickets in a secure cloud database. Users can purchase tickets using their smartphones or laptops through the web application, eliminating the need to carry physical railway tickets. The ticketing information is securely stored in the cloud database, and a ticket checker application is provided to authenticate user tickets. The ticket checker can search for a user's ticket in the cloud database using the ticket number or relevant information for verification purposes. In case a user's display is damaged or there are issues like battery failure preventing the display of the ticket, there was an alternative safeguard option. The ticket can be validated by searching the ticket database using the ticket number or other relevant user information.
