**Conftest.py**
import pytest
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

@pytest.fixture(scope="class")
def setup_and_teardown(request):
    driver = webdriver.Chrome()
    driver.get("https://www.redbus.in/")
    driver.maximize_window()
    driver.implicitly_wait(5)
    request.cls.driver = driver
    yield
    driver.close()

**searchbus_test.py**
import time
import pytest
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

@pytest.mark.usefixtures("setup_and_teardown")
class TestSearch:
    def test_search_bus(self):
        # entering source location
        ele = self.driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//input[@id='src']")
        ele.send_keys("coim")
        res = self.driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, "//ul[@class='sc-dnqmqq dZhbJF']/li")
        print(len(res))
        for x in res:
            if "Gandhipuram" in x.text:
                x.click()
                # time.sleep(5)
                break

        #entering destination location
        ele2 = self.driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//input[@id='dest']")
        ele2.send_keys("pal")
        # time.sleep(5)
        res2 = self.driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, "//ul[@class='sc-dnqmqq dZhbJF']/li")
        print(len(res2))
        for x in res2:
            if "Palakkad Bypass" in x.text:
                x.click()
                # time.sleep(5)
                break
                # time.sleep(5)

        #choosing the date
        self.driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//div[@id='onwardCal']").click()
        self.driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//div[@class='labelCalendarContainer']").click()
        self.driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//span[normalize-space()='28']").click()

        #clicking the search button
        self.driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//button[@id='search_button']").click()
        time.sleep(5)
        #filter before 6am
        self.driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//ul[@class='dept-time dt-time-filter']//li[1]//label[1]").click()
        time.sleep(5)

    # time.sleep(5)
