BUS TICKET SALE MODULE FOR JOOMLA

The main purpose of the proposed project is to build a Joomla module that allows the users to buy bus tickets from a bus line that already have a ticket booking and sales system; this remote system will provide the data to the Joomla component via Web Services that we´ll provide. The users can search for the availability of the buses and then reserve and pay their tickets online using PayPal and a similar service called “Dinero Mail” The module should be Joomfish compatible. The functionality of the module is similar to the one in this website: [login to view URL] The major requirements can be listed as follows: 1. The module should be Joomfish compatible so we can translate the different options of the module, and that the user can select the preferred language on the front end. 2. Allow a user to search for a Bus service by selecting: Type of service (first class, regular class, special, etc.) From, To Date and Type of ticket (Senior, Teacher, Minor, Handicapped, etc.) Number of tickets needed for each type. The system lists : Type of Service Fare of the trip Time of departure Arriving time Seats available for each type of ticket 3. Allow a user to select one of the options enlisted, then the user choose the type of ticket, write his/her name; select a preferred seat from one of the vacant seats available using a combo box and/or a graphic layout of a bus. 6. The seat in the layout will change of color to indicate that is already taken, the layout of the bus will change in number of seats depending of the type of service. 7. The component should allow the user to make a payment using a Payment Gateway. The system should allow payment through PayPal and Dinero Mail ([login to view URL]) this service provides HTML and API´s for integration. 8. Generate a printable (PDF) Bus Ticket if the ticket booking and payment is successful 9. Send an email to the user’s email account on successful booking along with the Ticket number and trip details 10. Generate an exception message if the booking fails due to Payment failure or due to unsuccessful booking. 11. Refund the processed amount to the same account from which the payment was made, in case the payment was successful but the booking failed. 12. Send data of the purchased ticket back to the remote book system.
