Scheduling Transfer Trips

Transfer trips are scheduled using the Schedule Booking Wizard.

Before you begin

Trip Booking must be open.

Procedure

  1. Select a client and create a trip.
    At minimum, a Date, Client, Req time, Origin, and Destination should be defined.
  2. Click the Schedule button:
    Three times: 1:07, 1:10, and 1:40.
    The Schedule Booking Wizard opens.

    You must use the Schedule Booking Wizard. Using the drag and drop method can incur polygon violations.

  3. Click the Find Solutions button:
    Blue binoculars.
    Any possible transfer solutions are listed in the middle view of the Schedule Booking Wizard with the number of transfers listed in the Transfer (Trans) column.
  4. In the bottom view of the Schedule Booking Wizard, select the run events in the itinerary to view the details of the transfer trip.
    Both runs involved in the transfer trip are listed with the events occurring before and after the transfer trip insertion, in addition to the bus stop where the transfer takes place.
  5. Select the best possible transfer solution.
  6. Click Save.
  7. Click Negotiate:
    A handshake.

What to do next

If the trip is not scheduled:
  • Ensure that both polygons involved in the transfer are overlapping at the transfer point.
  • Check that both legs of the booking share a common polygon. Same vehicle solutions are preferred when multiple bus solutions require a bus pull-out for the second bus.
  • Verify that the run polygon assignments are entered. Single bus solutions that involve a roaming bus take priority.
  • Verify that bus availability matches your trip request for times and capacity.
  • Increase the Max OBT for the trip in Trip Booking.
