When a customer clicks the "Add Reservation" button for a cab, they are taken to a form where they can input all the necessary details for their new cab reservation. Here’s a detailed walkthrough of the process:
Learn About Adding a New Cab Transfer Booking: This introductory section provides customers with a brief explanation of the booking process and what information is required. It outlines that the form will capture details such as journey date, trip mode, vehicle type, and stations. It also mentions that additional passenger and luggage details, any extra paid services, and the booking source need to be filled in.
Form Sections and Fields:
1. Routes and Trips Tab:
- Journey Date: Customers will choose the date for their cab reservation. This is usually done via a calendar picker for convenience.
- Journey Time: Here, users specify what time they need to be picked up, using a time selection tool.
- Trip Mode: A dropdown menu allows customers to select the type of trip they are booking, such as one-way, round trip, or hourly hire.
- Stations: This is where the start and end points of the journey are entered. If there are multiple stops along the route, users can add them by clicking a '+' button beside the station field.

2. Passengers Tab:

- Number of Bags: Users can state how much luggage they will carry, helping to ensure that the vehicle can accommodate all passengers and their belongings comfortably.

3. Additional Notes Tab:

4. Booking Source Tab:
- Booked From: A dropdown where the customer selects the platform or method they used to make the reservation (e.g., mobile app, online booking system, telephone).
- Booked By: If the reservation is being made by someone other than the passenger, such as a personal assistant or family member, their name would be entered here.
