🛠️ How to Run the Project

Follow these steps to set up and run the project in IntelliJ IDEA:

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://(https://github.com/Inshal-Rabbani)/transport-management-system.git

Open in IntelliJ IDEA

File > Open > Select the project folder

Add JDBC Library

Download mysql-connector-java

Go to: File > Project Structure > Libraries > Add JAR

Choose the mysql-connector-java.jar file

Create MySQL Database

Open transport.sql in MySQL Workbench or any SQL tool

Run the script to create tables

Update Database Config

In the DB connection file, update:

java Copy Edit String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/your_database"; String username = "your_username"; String password = "your_password"; Run the Application

Right-click on the main class → Run

🧠 Core OOP Concepts Used Concept Example in Code Encapsulation All class fields are private with public getters/setters Inheritance Common properties shared through a base class Polymorphism Method overriding for flexible behavior Abstraction Interface for database operations

🎯 Learning Outcomes ✅ Practical experience in real-world Java OOP application

✅ Hands-on with MySQL database and JDBC connectivity
