About Stop Types

The types of Stops are mainly determined by how they are used.

The abbreviations representing stop types in the Stop Patterns screen are:

S (Stop): If the column header is blue, the location is a stop only. If the column header is black, the location is a node AND a stop. Passengers can get on and off the service vehicle.
L (Load only): Passengers can only get on the service vehicle at this stop.
U (Unload only): Passengers can only get off the service vehicle at this stop.
N (Node only): Passengers cannot get on or off the service vehicle at this node, that is, used as a time point only.

The Stop Types are replaced with distance or weight values when you select Distances or Link Weights, respectively, from the Route Definition menu.

Note: When a TransitMaster Data Load is performed, stops at the end of stop patterns are always marked as U (Unload Only).
