Budget: 27000 UAH Deadline: 45 days
We can take the MVP MoveWay. The benchmark for the first working stage is from 220,000 UAH and approximately 45 days if we go through the mobile application, carrier cabinet, admin panel, booking seats, and online payment.
Look, there’s a nuance here - for such a product, it’s important not just to draw the application, but to correctly assemble the logic of routes, seats, payments, cancellations, and roles. Otherwise, the MVP will quickly become an expensive tangle, and we sometimes grow tangles in the code ourselves, but it's better to avoid this =)
> First, we do a short project design
> We agree on the roles of the passenger, carrier, and administrator
> We describe the scenarios for booking, payment, refunds, and seat confirmation
> Then we assemble the MVP with a basic admin panel and scalability options
Questions for accurate assessment
> Should the payment go through a Ukrainian service like LiqPay or are international payments needed?
> Does the carrier create routes and prices themselves, or should this be done by the platform administrator?

!!I would start precisely with the MVP design!! - without this, the assessment for such a system will be too approximate, and later it will hurt in payments, booking statuses, and carrier rights.
