• A Country bus Company owns a number of buses. Each bus is

allocated to a particular route, although Some routes may have
Several buses. Each route passes through a number of towns. One
or more drivers are allocated to each stage of a route, which
corresponds to a journey through some or all of the towns on a
route. Some of the towns have a garage where buses are kept and
each of the buses are identified by the registration number and can
carry different numbers of passengers, since the vehicles vary in
size and can be single or double-decked. Each route is identified by
a route number and information is available on the average number
of passengers carried per day for each route. Drivers have an
employee number, name, address, and sometimes a telephone
number.

• TCS prides itself on having up-to-date information on the processing
and current location of each shipped item. To do this, TCS relies on
a company-wide information system. Shipped items are the heart
of the TCS product tracking information system. Shipped items can
be characterized by item number (unique), weight, dimensions,
insurance amount, destination, and final delivery date. Shipped
items are received into the TCS system at a single retail center.
Retail centers are characterized by their type, uniqueID, and
address. Shipped items make their way to their destination via one
or more standard TCS transportation events (i.e., flights, truck
deliveries). These transportation events are characterized by a
unique scheduleNumber, a type (e.g, flight, truck), and a
deliveryRoute. Please create an Entity Relationship diagram that
captures this information about the TCS system. Be certain to
indicate identifiers and cardinality constraints
