It is a pricing scheme that sets prices from different origins to destinations configured on a route. It does not require greater dynamism in its prices, and can be classified by seat classes, fare classes and effective dates.

The fare tables will have an effective date, seat class and fare class. It's not possible create or edit a fare tale withe the same or overlapped period, also is not possible create or edit a duplicate fare table.

Vehicles can be assigned to schedules and manifest. Each vehicle can also be associated to a seatmap.

The seat will be chosen for each trip or subtrip if necessary, verifying the origin and destination, the number of seats available, and the seat location (row and column) if applicable, as well as the level or floor of the bus.

If seat maps are being used, needs to be careful when doing changes as seats already taken are not going to be able to be selected.

To setup live seatmaps, we first need to update the hold period a customer will have on their purchase window selection that will prevent other users from booking the same seat.

Early seat selection affects where the seatmap is shown for schedules that use seatmap. When this checkbox is checked you will see the seatmap besides the trip results. If left unchecked the seatmap(s) will shown when entering the passengers details.

Notice that in some cases you may want to use different Ids for different items that may have different characteristics, even if they belong to the same product and type. For example: reservations in the same account sometimes have seat information and sometimes they don't depending on the schedule. You may want to test how your template behaves with the different reservations.

If the trip has a seatmap, an available seat will be automatically assigned to the passenger and informed to the driver.

In the case the manifest uses seatmaps, the first available seat will be assigned to the ticket and showed in the scanner app.
