Hey, it's been a year never using Java.

I want to get help with this, so I was trying to print the number of ticket entered, but got error.

Can help?

import java.util.*;

class Transport
{
    protected double price; // Price per person for each transport
    protected int seatsRemaining; // Number of seats remaining for each transport

    public double getPrice() {
        return price;
    }

    public int getSeatsRemaining() {
        return seatsRemaining;
    }
}

class Train extends Transport
{
    Train()
    {
        price = 38;
        seatsRemaining = 120;
    }
    void printTickets()
    {
        seatsRemaining -= numTrainTickets;
    }
}

class Bus extends Transport
{
    Bus()
    {
        price = 25;
        seatsRemaining = 42;
    }
    void printTickets()
    {
        seatsRemaining -= numBusTickets;
    }
}

class Taxi extends Transport
{
    Taxi()
    {
        price = 60;
        seatsRemaining = 4;
    }
    void printTickets()
    {
        seatsRemaining -= numTaxiTickets;
    }
}

public class ticketCounter 
{
    Train train = new Train();
    Bus bus = new Bus();
    Taxi taxi = new Taxi();

    public static void main (String[] args)

                System.out.print("Select (1 - 3): ");
                numSelect = scan.nextInt();

Post the complete text of your error message, or a detailed deescription of your unexpected behaviour. Don't expect people to guess what "got error" means in this case.

Got inheritance problem

Error called: Non-static variable cannot be referenced from static context.

Lets try again:
What is the complete exacact text of your error mesage, including the line number(s)?

lines 123, 130, 142, 149, 161, and 168.
Exact text of the error message: "Non-static variable cannot be referenced from static context."

123,130: The variable train is declared as an instance variable - it has a different value for every instance of its class. You refer to that variable in a static method pTrain(). Becuase that's a static method it has no instance of the class associated with it, so it does not know which value of train to use. (And similarly for the other error lines).
