Trips

Selecting schedules

The schedule editor allows users to create trips/frequencies for any route, pattern, and calendar combination. The selectors at the top of the page allow users to navigate between calendars for a given pattern or switch between patterns for a route or even routes within the feed.

Each selection has a set of statistics associated with it to give you a sense of how it fits in with the feed:

  • Route
    • # of trips for the entire route
  • Pattern
    • # of trips for pattern
    • # of calendars containing these trips.
  • Calendar
    • # of trips for selected pattern / # of trips for entire route
    • # of routes with trips in calendar
    • # of trips in calendar for entire feed
