I need a lot of help with this program:
I know this is a homework problem but I am really struggling with it.
This program requires you to input information about rickshaw taxi fares. The ODUSPORTS is a student powered on-campus rickshaw transportation system. Upon departure, a ticket is created indicating the hour and minute the trip begins. When the student has pulled the rickshaw and its occupants to the desired location, the ticket is punched again, indicating the hour and minute the trip ends. There are three types of customers that can be accommodated by the system: single passengers, couples, and groups of three people. All passengers traveling together must proceed to the same destination location. Your job is to write a program that calculates the amount owed by the customer for the trip. The input for a trip will consist of a character and four integer values. The character will indicate the type of fare, and the integer values will reflect the departure time of the rickshaw from the point of origin, and the arrival time at the destination ( both in hours and minutes) of the rickshaw fares.
• The character will be either S, C, or G; this indicates single, couple, or group.
• The first integer ( 0 <= hr_in < 24) represents the hour of the departure time of the rickshaw
• The second integer ( 0 <= min_in < 60) represents the minutes of the departure time of the rickshaw
• The third integer ( 0 <= hr_out < 24) represents the hour of the arrival time of the rickshaw
• The fourth integer ( 0 <= min_out < 60) represents the minutes of the arrival time of the rickshaw

}Additional Details
For example G 11 30 12 10
A rickshaw left at 11:30 and arrived at 12:10 with a group of customers.
Student-Powered Rickshaw fees are detailed in the table that follows:
Type of fare Initial rate Rate for additional time
Single First 30 minutes are $7.00
$1.50 per minute after the first 30
Couple First 20 minutes are $10.50
$2.50 per minute after the first 20
Group First 15 minutes are $16.00
$4.00 per minute after the first 15
Notes:
1. Groups whose additional time exceeds 30 minutes, must pay an additional $50.00 fee.
2. Your program should prompt for each piece of input data separately.
3. The output should include a labeled echo print of the input values, the actual time that the trip took ( hours and minutes), the number of minutes the customer will be charged for, and the total charges.
4. Print an error message for illegal fare types.
5. No fare is allowed to last for more than 24 hours. You do not need to check for this. Also, you may assume that the departure time is less than arrival time.
