1
Enable Travel Agency role
- Dashboard → 👤 Profile → tick Travel Agency role → Save.
- Dashboard now shows 🚌 Travel Agency link.
- Super admin can also open agency tools from Admin Panel.
2
Agency profile & UPI
- Travel Agency → fill business name, address, city, pincode, Agency UPI ID → Save Profile.
- Agency UPI is used on tickets when conductor has no personal UPI set.
- Conductors: set Driver UPI ID in Profile (auto-used on tickets). Optional: staff UPI on dashboard.
3
Routes, stops & fares
- Add route (e.g. Parbhani - Nanded) → open Stops & Fares.
- Add stops in route order (stop 1 = start, last = end).
- Set onward fares (e.g. Parbhani → Nanded). Return trips use the same amounts in reverse.
- CSV upload or auto-fill per segment available on route page.
4
Fleet & staff
- Add vehicles (number, name, seats).
- Add staff: Driver and/or Conductor — mobile must be a registered Tour App user.
- Conductors issue tickets; assign conductor on every departure.
5
Monthly pass plans
- Create pass plan — route, segment or full route, validity days, price.
- Sell pass → passenger name & mobile → Cash or UPI → print pass.
- Printed pass includes a QR code — passenger shows it to conductor.
- Dashboard shows Active / Near expiry / Expired passes.
- Pass works for 1 person only on conductor ticket screen.
6
Departures — Onward & Return
- Departures → create Onward (stop 1 → last): route, vehicle, driver, conductor, date & time.
- Same row → tap Copy → Return to add return leg for today (same vehicle, driver, conductor).
- Open departures show Live collection — cash, UPI & ticket count (refreshes every 30 seconds).
- Only the owner creates departures — conductor cannot create new tracks.
- Close departure when that leg is finished; Reopen from dashboard if needed.
7
Conductor — issue tickets
- Conductor / Tickets → one trip per route today (shows Onward + Return if both exist).
- Stop grid: tap From (boarding), then To (destination) — fare on destination cards.
- Default: only sell from last sold stop onward (earlier stops greyed out).
- Optional: tick Any station → any station for special boarding.
- Passengers +/− (1–20). Cash or UPI (QR when UPI selected).
- Monthly pass: tick pass → Scan QR on printed pass or enter mobile / pass no (1 person).
- Void mistaken ticket from trip list. Issue Ticket → print / show receipt.
8
Conductor — close trip & hand cash
- Scroll to handover panel after last ticket on a leg (or at home for full round trip).
- Single track close: count cash for this leg only — onward OR return separately.
- Round trip close: when both tracks still open, close onward + return together with one cash count.
- Add journey expenses (puncture, lunch, etc.) — deducted from net cash due.
- Enter note/coin quantities — net expected = ticket cash − expenses; difference should be ₹0.
- Tap Close & print handover → give counted cash + slip to owner.
- Owner must Accept cash on dashboard — after accept, conductor cannot reprint that slip.
9
Owner — accept cash handover
- Departures table → closed leg shows Cash handover: Pending ₹…
- Verify physical cash matches counted amount on slip → tap Accept cash.
- View handover opens thermal print slip (ticket cash, expenses, denominations, diff).
- Round trip: both tracks closed → combined round-trip summary print available.
- Until you accept, conductor may reprint; after accept the handover is locked.
10
Switch track (conductor)
- Example: Parbhani → Nanded (Onward), then bus turns back Nanded → Parbhani (Return).
- At Nanded: conductor scrolls to bottom → Switch to Return (owner must Copy → Return first).
- Return shows stops in reverse order; tickets & cash/UPI totals stay separate per track.
- All trips today — return to departure picker.
11
Profit & loss (P&L)
- Agency dashboard → P&L — pick date range.
- Ticket cash, ticket UPI, pass sales (cash/UPI), expenses, net total.
- Trip summary on conductor screen shows cash, UPI, pass trips per departure.
- Round-trip panel on conductor shows separate cash per track + grand total.
- Log agency expenses (fuel, salary, toll) under P&L → Add expense.
💡 Quick tips
- Workflow: Create Onward → Copy → Return → conductor switches track at bottom when bus turns.
- Live collection on dashboard updates while conductor sells — no need to refresh the page.
- Monthly pass: reprint from dashboard if sold before QR was enabled.
- Close one leg at destination, or both legs together at home — match real cash handling.
- Multi-person tickets: fare × passenger count. Monthly pass cannot cover groups.
- Void only on open departures. Bilingual receipt shows payment mode on print screen.
- Setup check: agency_health.php once if dashboard errors.
