Build a Python Transport Route & Fare System

This tutorial, part of the #30DaysOfPythonProjects, demonstrates how to build a fixed transport route and fare reference system in Python. Addressing the common issue of arbitrary fare increases in Nigerian cities like Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt, the project leverages immutable tuples to create a transparent, unchangeable database of routes and prices. By using tuples, developers can ensure data integrity, preventing accidental modifications to crucial pricing information.

The script covers key Python concepts such as tuple indexing, unpacking, and nested tuples, providing a practical solution for commuters seeking a single source of truth for transport costs. This approach highlights the power of simple Python data structures to solve real-world transparency problems.
