Routes

The Operations | Routes page enables you to view and manage routesroutes within One Transport. There are three types of route in One Transport: Standard, Network and Door-to-Door.

A standard route is a route on which the LA have supplied a “school bus”; that is, employed a contractor to supply vehicles with which to service an LA-specified route.

A network route is an existing commercial, scheduled road or rail route. The LA buys passes to enable transport using these routes.

On a door-to-door route, the LA supplies transport to pick up a passenger at a specific address or stop and then take that passenger to another address or stop.
