1. Time a vehicle is out of service between two consecutive trips to make up for running time variations, traffic volumes, and passenger loads, to let the operator a break, or to make sure that the vehicle departs on time.

   Also called recovery time.

2. In PASS, the time a client spends waiting at a transfer point for the second vehicle.
3. On a route, the location where a vehicle is scheduled to dwell for a period of time.

(Used in UK) See deadhead.

A fixed route from an origin or start node to a destination or end node with in-between nodes.

Also called route and service (used in UK).

Trips or lines grouped together for optimal blocks. For example, lines that are interlined together would be placed in the same line group.

See also route group.

Used to establish (single) routes on which vehicles travel with destination signs displaying the second line of a set throughout the trip. For example, if lines 002 and 007 are linked together, the destination sign of the vehicle traveling from 002 to 007 shows line 007. When the vehicle travels from 007 to 002, the destination sign shows line 002.

Typically, vehicles working interlined routes change destination signs as the individual lines change.

Record of actions that's used to track database changes. Trapeze systems typically contain multiple log types.

1. Layover or turnaround area for transit vehicles.
2. Route that starts and ends at the same location in a single direction.
