Telegram Taxi Bot Development

Project Overview
This system will work as a single Telegram bot where users can select:
Rider

The entire experience should be button-based, simple, and user-friendly, just like using an app.

Rider Features
Request ride
Select vehicle type (Car / Tuk / Van)
Share pickup location (Telegram location)

Show:
Distance
Estimated fare
Confirm ride
Auto-match with nearby drivers
Show driver details after acceptance

Driver Features
First-time registration:

Wait (for traffic/stop)
End Ride

Core Requirements
Real-time GPS tracking (update every few seconds)
Accurate fare calculation (distance + waiting time)
Backend-controlled pricing (drivers cannot change rates)
Clean Telegram UI (simple buttons, step-by-step flow)

Mandatory Features (Must Be Included)

Smart driver matching (nearest available driver)
Stable and accurate GPS-based meter
Clean, scalable code (ready for future mobile app upgrade)
