Making a bus trip logger and I need help!!!

Question

So basically I've written the basic part of my code that just asks the user for whether he wants to input 'new trip' or 'trip taken yesterday'. I have written the new trip block

print ("this is the bus logger. this is to log down all the bus trips that i take, from location to location, and input money spent.\nplease input from location first, then location arrived, then money spent.")
print ("please enter 'new trip' to input new trip\nplease enter 'trips taken yesterday' to see trips taken yesterday\n")
user_input = input(':')
if user_input == ("new trip"):
location_from = input("location from:")
location_to = input("location to:")
cost = float(input("cost:"))
tally = (location_from + ' to ' + location_to + ' total cost ' + '

Answer 1

from datetime import datetime

tally =[]

while(int(input("If you want to continue, press 1 otherwise 0:"))):
user_input = input("please enter 1 for New trip and 2 for trips taken yesterday:")
if user_input == "1":
travel_date = datetime.now().date()
location_from = input("location from:")
location_to =input("location to:")
cost = input("cost:")
tally.append("On {} {} to {} total cost is ${}".format(travel_date,location_from, location_to, cost))
else:
enter_date = input("Enter date in YYYY-MM-DD format :").split("-")
year, month, day = map(int, enter_date )
travel_date = datetime(year,month,day).date()
location_from = input("location from:")
location_to =input("location to:")
cost = input("cost:")
tally.append("On {} {} to {} total cost is ${}".format(travel_date,location_from, location_to, cost))

print("Trips taken:\n{}".format("\n".join(tally)))

Tips:
1) Use triple quotes for longer strings. Then print them.
2) Save the tally in database or file. If you want to use it every day.

Happy coding!!!

Ken Wow it seems like there are still quite a few functions I haven't learned yet, but I understand the general gist of your code and it is working great. Thank you Ken!!!
