How it works

Once you have entered departure and destination station, the system tries to find a route between the two that passes by as few stations as possible while keeping the number of transfers to a minimum. Since a transfer interrupts your trip, the planner may choose a longer path - in terms of stations passed by - to avoid a transfer.

Trip distance is measured as stops at stations, not actual distance in meters. In networks that span large areas where stations are relatively sparse - such as railway networks - actual distance is a major factor for trip duration. In city areas however, where stations are dense, trip interruptions (stops) are far more expensive.
