Generating Transfers By Locations

Use this method to create transfers between nodes and>or stops that fall within a specified radius of a predefined location (landmark).

Open the Transfer Wizard and select the sign-up period and agency (if applicable).
Each location for the selected lines is used as the center of the search radius and all possible transfers between stops within this radius are generated. The user selects a location type and then can deselect specific locations within this type.
