+## 💺 Seat Management & Priority Queue System
+
+### Overview
+The bus tracking system includes a comprehensive seat management system that allows drivers to track passenger capacity and automatically manages overflow passengers through a priority queue system.
+
+### Features
+
+#### For Drivers:
+1. **Bus Number Selection**
+   - Assign a unique bus number (1, 2, 3, etc.) when starting your shift
+   - Helps passengers identify which bus is arriving
+   - Essential for routes with multiple buses operating simultaneously
+
+2. **Manual Seat Counter**
+   - Display shows: "Occupied: X / 50"
+   - Use +/- buttons to manually adjust occupied seat count
+   - Visual warning when approaching capacity (45+ seats)
+   - Automatic full capacity alert at 50/50
+
+3. **Real-time Waiting Passengers**
+   - See how many passengers are waiting at each stop
+   - Priority passengers highlighted with ⭐ (overflow from previous full bus)
+   - Regular waiting passengers shown separately
+
+#### For Passengers:
+1. **Real-time Seat Availability**
+   - See available seats on approaching bus
+   - Color-coded display:
+     - 🟢 Green: 16+ seats available
+     - 🟠 Orange: 6-15 seats available
+     - 🔴 Red: ≤5 seats available
+   - Bus number displayed (e.g., "Bus #2")
+
+2. **Seat Booking System**
+   - Click "Book Seat" to reserve your spot
+   - Instant confirmation with seat number
+   - Shows: "Seat booked successfully! Bus #2, Seat #15"
+
+3. **Priority Queue (Automatic Overflow)**
+   - If bus is full (50/50), you're automatically added to priority queue
+   - Priority passengers get FIRST PRIORITY on the next bus
+   - Badge shows: "⭐ Priority Passenger - You'll board the next bus first!"
+   - Queue position displayed
+
+### How It Works

+│  3. Passenger added to priority queue for stop         │
+│  4. Shows: "Bus full. You are priority for next bus"  │
+│  5. Bus #2 driver sees priority passengers at stops   │
+│  6. Priority passengers board Bus #2 first             │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+**Default Settings:**
+- Total Seats per Bus: 50 (48 passenger + 2 crew)
+- Capacity Warning: Triggers at 45+ seats
+- Auto-full toggle: Activates at 50/50
+
+**Customizable:**
+```python
+# In app.py, change default seat count:
+bus_seats = defaultdict(lambda: {'occupied': 0, 'total': 60, 'bus_number': None})
+```
+
+### Real-time Synchronization
+
+All seat operations are synchronized in real-time via Socket.IO:
+- Driver manual seat adjustments → Broadcast to all passengers

+# 💺 Seat Management System - User Guide
+
+## Overview
+This guide explains how to use the seat management and priority queue features in the Bus Tracking System.
+
+---
+
+## 🚌 For Bus Drivers
+
+### Step 1: Login
+1. Open the bus tracking application
+2. Click **"Bus Driver Mode"**
+3. Enter your Driver ID and Password
+4. Click **"Login"**
+
+### Step 2: Select Route and Bus Number
+1. Select your route from the dropdown
+2. **Set your bus number** (e.g., 1, 2, 3)
+   - This helps passengers know which bus is arriving
+   - Important for routes with multiple buses
+3. Click **"Set Bus Number"**
+
+### Step 3: Start Sharing Location
+1. Click **"Start Sharing Location"**
+2. Your GPS location will be tracked automatically
+3. The seat counter will appear
+
+### Step 4: Managing Seats
+
+#### Manual Seat Counter
+- **Display shows:** "Occupied: 0 / 50"
+- **To add passengers:** Click the **+** button
+- **To remove passengers:** Click the **-** button
+
+#### Capacity Warnings
+- ⚠️ **Yellow warning** appears at 45+ seats
+- 🔴 **Red alert** appears at 50/50 capacity
+- Bus automatically hidden from passenger view when full
+
+#### Viewing Waiting Passengers
+The "Waiting Passengers" section shows:
+- 👥 **Regular passengers** at each stop
+- ⭐ **Priority passengers** (from previous full bus)
+
+### Best Practices
+✅ Update seat count when passengers board
+✅ Check priority passengers at stops (⭐ icon)
+✅ Give priority passengers first boarding
+✅ Update seat count when passengers alight
+
+---
+
+## 👥 For Passengers
+
+### Step 1: Select Route and Stop
+1. Open the bus tracking application
+2. Click **"Passenger Mode"**
+3. Select your route
+4. Select your stop from the dropdown
+
+### Step 2: Track Bus
+1. Click **"Track Bus"**
+2. You'll see:
+   - Real-time bus location on map
+   - Distance to your stop
+   - Estimated arrival time
+
+### Step 3: Check Seat Availability
+
+#### Seat Display
+The seat availability card shows:
+- 🚌 **Bus number** approaching
+- **Available seats** (e.g., "15 Seats Available")
+- **Occupied/Total** (e.g., "35 / 50 occupied")
+
+#### Color Coding
+- 🟢 **Green:** 16+ seats available (plenty of space)
+- 🟠 **Orange:** 6-15 seats available (getting full)
+- 🔴 **Red:** ≤5 seats available (nearly full)
+
+### Step 4: Book Your Seat
+
+#### If Seats Available
+1. Click **"Book Seat"**
+2. You'll see confirmation:
+   - "Seat booked successfully!"
+   - "Bus #2, Seat #15"
+
+#### If Bus is Full
+1. Click **"Book Seat"**
+2. You'll be added to **Priority Queue**
+3. Badge appears: "⭐ Priority Passenger"
+4. Shows your queue position
+5. You'll board the **next bus first**
+
+### Understanding Priority Queue
+- When a bus is full (50/50), new bookings go to priority queue
+- Priority passengers get **first priority** on the next bus
+- The system is **automatic** - no extra steps needed
+- Your position in queue is displayed
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Example Scenarios
+
+### Scenario 1: Normal Booking
+```
+Passenger Action:
+1. Selects Stop #5
+2. Clicks "Book Seat"
+3. Bus has 23/50 seats occupied
+4. ✅ Booking confirmed: "Bus #1, Seat #24"
+
+Result:
+- Seat count increases to 24/50
+- All passengers see updated availability
+- Bus continues accepting bookings
+```
+
+### Scenario 2: Bus Full - Priority Queue
+```
+Passenger Action:
+1. Selects Stop #8
+2. Clicks "Book Seat"
+3. Bus #1 is full (50/50)
+4. ⭐ Added to priority queue
+
+Result:
+- Message: "Bus full. You are priority for next bus."
+- Queue position shown: #3
+- Bus #2 driver sees 3 priority passengers at Stop #8
+- Priority passengers board Bus #2 first
+```
+
+### Scenario 3: Multiple Buses
+```
+Route 48AC has 3 buses:
+- Bus #1: 48/50 seats (nearly full) - shows orange
+- Bus #2: 15/50 seats (plenty space) - shows green
+- Bus #3: 50/50 seats (full) - hidden from view
+
+Passengers see only Bus #1 and #2
+Can book on either bus
+Bus #3 passengers go to priority queue
+```
+
+---
+
+## ⚙️ Technical Details
+
+### Default Configuration
+- **Total Seats:** 50 per bus (48 passenger + 2 crew)
+- **Capacity Warning:** Triggers at 45 seats
+- **Auto-Full Toggle:** Activates at 50 seats
+- **Priority Queue:** FIFO (First In, First Out)
+
+### Real-time Updates
+All actions sync instantly via WebSocket:
+- Driver seat updates → Broadcast to passengers
+- Passenger bookings → Update driver's count
+- Capacity changes → Update bus visibility
+- Priority queue → Notify next bus driver
+
+### Data Persistence
+- Seat counts persist during active session
+- Bus numbers remain assigned while sharing location
+- Priority queue maintained until passengers board
+- System resets when driver stops sharing
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Troubleshooting
+
+### Driver Issues
+
+**Q: Bus number not saving**
+- A: Ensure you clicked "Set Bus Number" button
+- A: Check that you're authenticated and sharing location
+
+**Q: Seat counter not updating**
+- A: Check internet connection
+- A: Verify you're sharing location
+- A: Try clicking +/- buttons again
+
+**Q: Can't see waiting passengers**
+- A: Start sharing location first
+- A: Passengers must be actively waiting at stops
+
+### Passenger Issues
+
+**Q: Can't see seat availability**
+- A: Ensure bus is active and sharing location
+- A: Check that you're tracking the bus
+- A: Refresh the page if needed
+
+**Q: Booking not working**
+- A: Select your stop first
+- A: Ensure bus is active
+- A: Check internet connection
+
+**Q: Why am I in priority queue?**
+- A: Current bus is full (50/50 capacity)
+- A: You'll board the next bus first
+- A: No action needed - automatic process

+
+## 🎯 Tips for Best Experience
+
+### For Drivers
+✅ Set bus number as soon as you start
+✅ Update seat count regularly
+✅ Watch for priority passenger alerts
+✅ Keep app open while driving
+
+### For Passengers
+✅ Select your stop before tracking
+✅ Book early to avoid priority queue
+✅ Watch the color-coded seat indicator
