To Node	Node or garage to which the operator ends his or her travel. The list includes relief nodes and any other node that may be used in other travels of the selected agency in the context.
From Node Name	Name of the node or garage from which the operator begins his or her travel.
To Node Name	Name of the node or garage from which the operator ends his or her travel.
From Time	Time when the operator is expected to start his or her travel. The time is set to 0:00 by default.
To Time	Time when the operator is expected to his or her travel. The time is set to 36:00 by default.
Paid Time	Amount of time that is paid when travel occurs.
Actual Time	Amount of time that the travel actually takes. This is used in order to prevent the runcutter from assigning a preceding or a subsequent piece of work that requires a travel, which is also known as feasible travel. While Paid and Actual times are normally the same, they can be different such as when the drivers are paid a fixed rate for travel time but not for the actual time.
Distance	Distance of the travel.
Wait	If selected, the driver is paid for waiting for a service bus. Ideally, this is set up using the FX Runcutting screen (where a wizard for setting up travel times on service buses exists). As an experienced user, you can define these times using service buses.
Travel Type	If travels are only valid at specific points or places on the run, for example,travelling to and from the canteen is only valid during a shift break, select the appropriate travel type from the Travel Type drop-down menu.
Shuttle	If selected, the driver is required to take a shuttle bus to accomplish the travel. (This is used in conjunction with the Shuttle parameters.)
Safety	Amount of time provided for a driver to catch the next vehicle in a multi-leg travel. (This is also automatically shown after the Waits and Travels data is loaded.)
Details	Displays the line, pattern, and times of the travel. The data is similar to that shown in the Line and Directions column in the FX Travels screen. (The Details data is also shown automatically after the Waits and Travels are loaded.)
Wait At End	If selected, a wait is placed at the end of the travel.
Pay Wait	If selected, drivers are paid for the wait times. This is automatically selected when the Pay Wait field is selected in the Load dialog (for Waits and Travels).
Modified By	Indicates how the travel was modified. If you edited the record and saved it, the column is automatically filled in with "User".
IsFrozen	If selected, selected travel records are “frozen” and not included when travel times are calculated using the Calculate Travels feature. Can be used to manually set the travel time.
Comment	Additional information on the travel added through the Comment dialog. When you click the downward arrow in the field, the Comment dialog appears.
