transfer_type = 1

[skinkie]

For transfer_type = 1 the documentation states: Timed transfer point between two routes. The departing vehicle is expected to wait for the arriving one and leave sufficient time for a rider to transfer between routes.

That having said; shouldn't the from_route_id and to_route_id not being conditionally required (instead of optional)? Something like: optional if from_trip_id (or to_trip_id) is specified.

I am missing the situation where *_route_id would be required.

The way I understand it, if *_route_id is not present it just means all the route servicing the two *_stop_id are waiting for each other. That's potentially just one per stop, but the transfer doesn't need to specify it.

The question is specifically: 1 - Timed transfer point between two routes.

[gcamp]

Yes that's what I'm talking about. Ff you transfer from stop A (serving route 1) to stop B (serving route 2), is that a transfer between two routes?

"transfer between two routes" is used interchangeably with "transfer" in the spec (same for type 0 and 3).

So adding a route_id makes it more specific, hence between a specific feeder and distributor? And omitting it, means any routes?
