Bus Reservation System Project Using C Language

Introduction

The Bus Reservation System is a basic console program that runs on the C platform and has no visuals. The system uses bus information, which includes the bus number, seat number, and the passenger's name, to book a seat on the bus. Under the passenger's name, the specific bus seat number is booked.

The primary goal of this project is to create an application that allows users to make bus reservations. Instead of using file management to store bus information, this system uses a different method.

This desktop program utilizes a command database as the system's backend. Other C projects are also available on the website.

About the Code

• The C programming language was used to create this.
• It's simple to use and comprehend.
• Bus information, such as bus number and driver's name, may be uploaded by users.
• Furthermore, since the reservation is made in the passenger's name, it is pretty straightforward.
• In addition, the system displays all information about the buses and their corresponding seats.
• This system also displays the buses that may be reserved.

This project also allows the user to insert document files that include project synopses, reports, and other diagrams.

Conclusion

After implementing a bus reservation system using the C programming language, it can be concluded that C is a powerful and efficient language for developing such a system. The use of functions and pointers in C allows for effective organization and management of data, making it easy to handle large amounts of information such as bus routes, schedules, and passenger information. Additionally, the ability to directly manipulate memory and control the flow of execution with control structures such as if statements and for loops allows for precise control over the system's behavior. Overall, the use of C in a bus reservation system results in a reliable and efficient system that can handle a high volume of reservations and provide a smooth experience for passengers.
