Stops
Creating a stop
- Select the Add stop tool.
- Click the map where the stop belongs.
- The stop is created as New stop 5; rename it with Edit.
The stop card
Clicking a stop opens a card with:
- Code — the stop code;
- Routes — how many routes serve it;
- Latitude and Longitude;
- an Active / Inactive status.
Fly to (shortcut Space) centres the map on the stop.
The stop list
At /transport/stops. The Transit stops table with Name,
Coordinates and Status columns. Double-click opens the stop page.
The stop page
Holds an Attributes block and a Routes serving this stop block. With no routes: "No routes serve this stop yet." View on map returns to the map.
Routes
Creating a route
- Select the Add route tool.
- Click the stops one by one in travel order. The counter reads 7 stops selected.
- Press Save. The system builds the route line along the roads ("Building route…").
- Clear resets the selection.
Refining the route line
If the automatically built line does not follow the path you want, open Refine route: "Drag a point; click the line to add one". When you are done press Save route.
The route card
The route card shows:
- Stops — the stop count;
- Stop sequence — the travel order;
- Costing — the routing profile the line is built with;
- Assigned vehicles — the vehicles on this route.
Edit lets you change the route name and Color.
The route list
At /transport/routes. The Transit routes table. Double-click opens the
route page with an Attributes block and the list of stops; with none: "This
route has no stops yet."
Assigning a route to a vehicle
- Open the route card or route page.
- Press Assign to vehicle.
- Fill in the form:
- Vehicle — which vehicle serves the route;
- Service days — on which days of the week;
- Schedule (arrival time) — the planned arrival times at the stops.
- Press Assign.
Assigning a route requires the "Live API" data source: "Assigning a route requires the Live API data source." Switch the source in the user menu — see Data sources.
Assigned routes appear on the vehicle page under the Routes tab, with a Show route line toggle.
Forecast and punctuality
For a vehicle on a route the system computes a Next stops (forecast) block — the expected arrival times at the upcoming stops.
The On-time figure is the share of arrivals that met the schedule; the tooltip spells out the basis: "On-time rate over 128 recorded arrivals".
When the forecast predicts a late arrival, the Running late event fires — you can subscribe to it in the vehicle's notifications block.
The punctuality report
Open it from Reports → Transit on-time or at /analytics/transit. It is
described in full under
Reports and analytics.
Typical workflows
Set up a new route. Add stop tool → place the stops → Add route tool → click the stops in order → Save → Refine route if needed → Assign to vehicle with a schedule.
Work out why a route runs late. The Transit on-time report → the By route table → find the route with a high late share → open its vehicle on the map and review its trips and events.
Check stop coverage. The stop page → the Routes serving this stop block.
