🚀 Overview

ViserBus is a full-featured bus ticket booking and reservation platform built with the Laravel PHP framework. It enables transport companies, travel aggregators and bus-service operators to launch an online ticket-booking website rapidly—managing fleets, routes, schedules, seats and payments from one admin system. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Drawing from real-world transportation business workflows—such as route with via-stops, seat maps, fare rules, cancellations and digital tickets—ViserBus is designed to mirror the operational needs of modern bus booking services. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Target users: Bus carriers, inter-city transportation companies, tour operators, travel agencies and developers building reservation portals.
