GroupOfServices
- Benno Schmid
A grouping of SERVICE JOURNEYs, GROUPs of SERVICEs are of use in particular for organising sets of similar journeys for presentation in tabular or in passenger information systems, for example “all the weekday, outbound services for LINE 2”.
The set of SERVICE JOURNEYs making up the complete timetable for a LINE (comprising services in both directions of travel and for different DAY TYPEs) will typically be partitioned into a number of different GROUPs of SERVICEs (for example “Outbound, Weekdays”; “Inbound, Weekdays”; “Outbound Weekends and public Holidays”; “Inbound, Public holidays”, etc).
Another use of GROUPs OF SERVICES is to segregate journeys for the same LINE that have very different SERVICE PATTERNs, for example “express” and “stopping” groups of journeys, or the journeys that go down a particular branch. (Note that any such groupings are usually irrelevant for journey planners, which are select the journeys directly, but are very important for arranging tabular representations of the timetable).
