IT Impress Bus Booking - Fictional Demo

Find a bus

Fictional operators, schedules and fares across Sri Lanka. Search runs exactly like the real API: origin, destination and travel date.

The hold is idempotent and server-priced: refreshing or double-clicking can never create two holds or change the fare.

Checkout

Simulated PayHere sandbox checkout. Fare and currency come from the server hold - the form can never edit them. No real payment happens.

How booking works

The same flow the real Ceylon Bus API enforces, shown end to end with simulated data.

1. Search

Passengers search by origin, destination and date (Asia/Colombo time). Results show operator, departure, arrival, bus type and fare.

2. Seat chart

A 45-seat layout shows what is free. Sold seats can never be selected.

3. Timed hold

Holding seats locks them for 10 minutes with a server-calculated fare. The hold is idempotent, so retries are safe, and only one passenger can win a seat - the API proves this with a 20-caller race test.

4. PayHere checkout

Checkout produces signed PayHere fields. The payment notification is signature-checked and must match the exact held total and currency - a late or mismatched payment can never grab reallocated seats.

5. Ticket

A confirmed booking issues a ticket with a booking reference. The passenger can look it up any time.
