Technology

Built on a proven stack

Every layer of EuroBus was chosen for reliability, scalability, and developer velocity β€” from the API backbone to the pixels on the screen.

πŸ”΄

Laravel

API & Application Core

Laravel powers the entire backend β€” RESTful API endpoints consumed by both the web frontend and mobile app, robust authentication with Sanctum, queue-based booking confirmations, scheduled tasks for departure reminders, and an Eloquent ORM layer that maps complex route and ticket relationships cleanly.

Vue.js

Reactive Web Frontend

The web platform is built as a Vue SPA β€” delivering a fully reactive booking experience without full-page reloads. Real-time seat availability updates, dynamic route filtering, and a smooth multi-step checkout are all handled client-side with Pinia state management and Vue Router for a crisp, app-like feel in the browser.

Ionic + Angular

Cross-Platform Mobile App

The mobile app is built with Ionic on top of Angular, compiling to native iOS and Android from a single codebase. Capacitor plugins provide access to native device features β€” push notifications for departure reminders and delays, local storage for offline ticket access, and camera integration for QR code scanning at boarding.

MySQL

Relational Data Layer

MySQL holds the full operational data model β€” routes with multi-stop hierarchies, operator schedules, seat inventory per departure, passenger profiles, and transaction records. Indexed queries and optimistic locking on seat reservation ensure consistent availability data under concurrent booking pressure without double-selling a seat.

Optimistic Locking Indexed Queries Migrations Eloquent ORM
Payments

Secure online payments, built into every booking

Payment processing is embedded directly into the booking flow β€” no redirects, no friction. Passengers pay with card and receive a digital ticket immediately on confirmation.

On the operator side, a dedicated settlements dashboard breaks down revenue by route, date, and operator β€” with automatic reconciliation and downloadable financial reports.
