Standing Passenger


The Standing Passenger feature allows additional capacity to be added to a vehicle without assigning specific seats. This is especially useful on high‑demand routes where maximizing passenger load is critical.


Configuration

Step 1: Enable in Setup

  1. Go to Administration > Setup
  2. Enable Allow standing passenger (Backoffice only) checkbox.

  3. Add New Modifier
  4. Choose one of two modes:
    • Add standing passenger manually: permits adding standing passengers at any time, regardless of seat availability.

      Add New Modifier
    • Add standing passenger automatically: only adds standing passengers when no seats remain.

Sales‑Flow Behavior

When an user performs a trip search, the Available column will display both seat and standing capacity together, for example 8+2.
Add New Modifier
In manual mode, clicking Next button always enables the Standing button to add standing passengers.
Add New Modifier
In automatic mode, the Standing button only appears if no seats remain. If neither a seat nor standing is selected and the agent clicks “Next,” an error message prompts them to choose a valid option. Add New Modifier

The Standing Passenger feature can only be used with the new simplified sales flow.


Manifest & Ticket Visibility

Until a sale or status change occurs, the manifest shows only the original seat capacity without standing passengers.

Once a standing ticket is sold, standing passengers appear in a separate Standing Passengers section of the manifest.
Add New Modifier
In the ticket details, the Seat field displays Standing. Add New Modifier


Ticket‑Change Flexibility

A standing ticket can be exchanged for:

  • Another standing ticket.
  • A regular ticket with an assigned seat.
