Bus module for routes, seat maps and operator management
The Bus module lets you publish routes, manage live seat maps, set boarding and dropping points, and take online bookings with instant e-tickets across your own fleet or partner operators. It plugs into the same B2B and B2C booking engine used by every other PHPTRAVELS module, so bus, flights, hotels and tours share one admin panel.
Everything needed to sell bus tickets online: route and operator setup, seat inventory, fare rules, boarding points, payments, and automated notifications, all managed from one back office.
Route & seat map management
Add unlimited routes and operators, define seat layouts per bus type, and let customers pick their exact seat from a live map. Seats lock automatically once selected so two passengers can never be sold the same seat.

Boarding points & multi-operator routes
Set multiple boarding and dropping points per route with their own timing and fees. Onboard several operators onto the same route so customers can compare timings and fares before booking.
