I am looking for on-line bus reservation software, I was trying
to find any but failed. I found only on-line hotel reservation software
I'd like to know if it is possible to alter hotel reservation system into
bus reservation system.
Please, look the system I'd like to alter on:

Hi Nadejda,

Anything is possible. The real question is: Is it cost-effective?

1)you have to pay for that hotel...system
2)you have no idea what the innards look like
3)you or someone you hire will have to rewrite 2 types of code -- cosmetic (eg, replacing 'hotel' with 'bus') and functional (eg, people reserve specific rooms, but not specific seats on a bus)
4)you will have to test the rewrite, debug it, and test again
5) rewriting the code requires permission from the people who wrote it
6) on and on and on and.....

Why don't you simply write one from scratch?
