As the world is turning into a global village with almost every aspect of human Endeavour getting computerized, the transportation industries management is looking forward to making available their seat to passengers to book ahead of time. This project research involves the design and implementation of Motor Vehicle reservation and ticketing system aimed at overcoming the undesirable problem associated with the manual system. In this project, the implementation of the computerized system will be carried out using visual Basic.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Since the advent and introduction of information technology (IT), computers have opened a gateway for information accessibility and have contributed a lot of tremendous advantages and changes in modes of data processing activities and in several areas of human Endeavour, thereby making it easier for organizations, firms, industries and man to carry out their day to day activities without much problem.
The implementation of a Land transport management system is very essential for the management of transport companies or transport department in any organization, such as Agofure Transport Company, Peace Mass Transits etc, for effective business operation. Hence, the organization or the company needs to be prepared in order to meet their day to day challenges and operations.
Transport or transportation is the movement of people, animals and goods from one location to another. Modes of transport include air, rail, road, water, cable, pipeline and space.

Transport infrastructure consists of the fixed installations including roads, railways, Airports, waterways, canals, pipelines and terminals such as airports, railway stations, bus stations, warehouses, trucking terminals, refueling depots (including fueling docks and fuel stations) and seaports. Terminals may be used both for interchange of passengers, cargo and for maintenance.
Vehicles traveling on these networks may include automobiles, bicycles, buses, trains, trucks, people, helicopters, watercraft, spacecraft and aircraft.

Therefore, there is need to manage transportation operations and ensure better service, decrease routing time with optimized cost and fuel efficiency. The system is to manage and control company transport provided by employer to employees especially in a Manufacturing Industry, School etc.
1.2 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The system that exists in some transport companies, organizations, industries, firms that have transport department uses manual system.
The manual system that is being used in the industry is faced with setbacks in the following areas:
- Improper and inaccurate record keeping

- Occasional loss of data due to misplacement
A computerized system that would automate the company’s transport Department will offset setbacks characterized by the manual system. However, to maintain efficient and error- free record processing, raw data has to pass through a subcommittee that will screen and validate it before proceeding onto computerization.
1.3 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
