Example: a filled Transport Company Receipt
A passenger buys two tickets from Lagos to Enugu with extra luggage and sends a parcel. The company gives one receipt.
Bus ticket, Lagos to Enugu: 2 x ₦28,000 = ₦56,000
Extra luggage: 1 x ₦5,000 = ₦5,000
Waybill parcel: 1 x ₦6,000 = ₦6,000
Total: ₦67,000. These amounts are examples; use your own prices.
Common mistakes to avoid
- No route or date
- Not recording luggage
- No refund note
- Not writing how the customer paid (cash, transfer or POS)
Need a different document?
- Asking for payment before the job or delivery? Use a transport company invoice.
- Customer paying only part of the total today? Use the free part payment receipt.
How interstate transport companies use a receipt
Interstate transport companies sell tickets and send waybill parcels. Passengers and parcel senders need receipts for refunds, lost luggage claims and company travel expenses.
Writing the items on a transport company receipt
Use one line for each thing the customer paid for, named the way your customers know it, for example Bus ticket, Lagos to Enugu, Extra luggage, Waybill parcel. Enter the quantity and the price for one unit, and the generator works out each line and the total. Then choose how the customer paid, cash, transfer or POS, because that is the first thing anyone checks when a payment is questioned.
Tips for interstate transport companies
- Write the route and travel date.
- List extra luggage and parcels separately.
- State refund rules in the note.
After the customer pays
Send the receipt as soon as the money arrives, while the customer is still with you or on the phone. Keep a copy: at the end of the day, compare your receipts with your POS slips and bank alerts, so you know exactly what came in and nothing is missed.
