About Ancillary Data
Ancillary data defines the foundation for the schedule such as Sign-up Periods, Divisions, Garages, Services/Service Groups and your Lines/Line Groups. Ancillary data is information that tells FX what specific conditions and information are applicable for your transit site.
About Divisions
A division is the geographic or revenue area served by a specific number of Full and/or Part-time Operators. It is common for smaller and medium-sized properties to have only one garage, and hence only one division.

About Divisions

A division is the geographic or revenue area served by a specific number of Full and/or Part-time Operators. It is common for smaller and medium-sized properties to have only one garage, and hence only one division.

Larger properties may use divisions in two ways:

Multi-modal: If a property has more than one method of moving passengers (for example, buses, streetcars, subways, light rail), then a division may be created for each mode of transportation. In this case, each division operates as a separate entity using its own lines, vehicles and garages.

Geographic: Very large properties having several garages may separate the total area served by their vehicles into a number of geographic zones. Typically, a zone refers to the area served by a garage.
