Bus Management System

A Java-based GUI application developed to simplify bus booking and passenger management. The system provides an interactive interface for users to view bus details, check seat availability, enter passenger information, make payments, and submit feedback.

This project was developed as a third-semester academic project to demonstrate Java programming, GUI development, object-oriented programming, and basic application design.
