BUILT FOR SRI LANKAN BUS OPERATORS

Make seat selection part of a shared reservation record

Use a bus-specific seat map to connect passenger choices with the trip your crew will operate.

Booking offices and operators that need assigned seats.

The work behind the feature.

A seat promised in a call and a seat selected online can create confusion if staff work from separate records. A consistent seat map helps the team check the current reservation state.

Show availability without exposing passenger identities

The public seat-map model shows whether a seat is available or taken, with limited adjacent-seat information where used. Passenger names and phone numbers do not belong in the public seat map.

Distinguish a hold from a confirmed seat

Online payment can temporarily hold selected seats while checkout is pending. Hold expiry and reservation status matter: a passenger reaching checkout is not the same as a completed payment.

Use the boarding record to finish the journey

Reservations connect seat labels with passenger details, selected boarding and drop-off stops, a booking reference and a boarding PIN. The crew can use the booking record when checking who is travelling.

Availability and requirements

Reservation availability depends on the configured layout, trip rules and monthly booking entitlement. Payment holds expire. Do not advertise a guarantee against every booking error or network interruption.

Questions about this workflow

Are seats held during online checkout?

A temporary seat-hold flow is implemented for online payment. The booking record includes a hold expiry; uncompleted checkout does not reserve a seat indefinitely.

Can other passengers see names on the seat map?

The public seat-map model excludes passenger names and phone numbers. Staff access to booking details is a separate permission-controlled workflow.

Can seating be changed after reservations exist?

The layout implementation protects booked seats from removal. Review existing trips and bookings before making a seating change.
