The reservation system tells the reservation status of passengers who are on the waiting list. The Admin updates the train information and he generates the report of the train, and reservation details.

Create Reservations: A passenger should be able to reserve seats on the train.

If seats are available the entries are the mode in the system regarding the train name, train number, date of journey, boarding station, destination, person name, sex, and total fare. Passenger is asked to pay the required fare and the tickets are printed. If the seats are not available then the passenger is informed.
