Bus Reservation System

A simple Java-based Bus Reservation System that allows users to book, cancel, and view seat reservations for buses. This project is designed to help beginners understand core Java concepts like Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), Collections, and Exception Handling.

Features

1. View All Buses: Display the list of available buses with their IDs and capacities.
2. View Available Seats: Check the available seats for a specific bus.
3. Book a Seat: Reserve a seat by entering passenger details (name, phone number).
4. Cancel a Seat: Cancel a seat reservation by providing the seat number.
5. View All Bookings: Display all bookings for a specific bus.

   • Overrides toString() to display passenger details.

2. Bus:

   • Represents a bus with an ID, capacity, and seat reservations.
   • Contains methods for booking, canceling, and displaying seats.

3. BusReservationSystem:

   • The main class that interacts with users via a menu-driven interface.
   • Manages multiple buses and provides options to book, cancel, and view reservations.

Sample Interaction

1. View all buses:

   ==== Bus Reservation System ====
   1. View All Buses
   Bus ID: Bus101, Capacity: 10
   Bus ID: Bus102, Capacity: 15
   

2. Book a seat:

   Enter Bus ID: Bus101
   Enter Seat Number to Book: 3
   Enter Passenger Name: John Doe
   Enter Phone Number: 1234567890
   Seat 3 successfully booked for John Doe.
   

3. View available seats:

   Enter Bus ID: Bus101
   Available seats: 1, 2, 4, 5...
   

4. Cancel a seat:

   Enter Bus ID: Bus101
   Enter Seat Number to Cancel: 3
   Seat 3 successfully canceled.

Future Enhancements

1. Persistent Storage: Add File I/O to save reservations and retrieve them after restarting the program.
2. Graphical Interface: Implement a GUI using JavaFX or Swing.
3. Database Integration: Use JDBC to connect to a database for managing buses and reservations.
4. Web Application: Develop a web-based system using Java Spring Boot.
