New fields: transport class and route tags

Information about people’s routes
The project is not closed, but now the creation of ideas and editing them is for technical reasons disabled. We move on to another map provider. At the same time, we will remove ideas with a negative rating. The work of the project will be restored in the near future.

New field – transport class
Continuing the topic with additional information about the route, we also decided to introduce a new field – transport classes. Classes of vehicles that run on the route are determined by the transit agency, for example, on some routes only minibuses, for some other routes with large passenger traffic it will be required to use articulated buses. For intercity and international routes, we also introduced a “coach” class.

We’ve carried out a small study of transport classes and we came to the conclusion that for some countries, for example, the USA and Brazil, it is required to add unique transport classes. If you have information about special transport classes in other countries than ours, please mail support [email protected] or directly by posting to the administrator's website: https://wikiroutes.info/en/user/id2

New field – characteristics (tags) of the route
The characteristics of the route (tags) are the features of the route, which you could be specify with text, but choosing them visually is much easier. With this field, you can mark the services on long-distance routes, for example, the availability of air conditioning or on-board services. Add night routes, buses equipped with accommodation for disabled people, low-floor and eco-friendly, school buses and seasonal routes and much more.
With this field you can also mark express train routes, LRT and BRT

We have plans to do a search on route tags so that you can find all routes that are suitable for elderly people or equipped with a bicycle rack or in which you can charge your mobile phone. This and much more will be done before the end of the year.
