Add extra trip

If needed, you can manually enter an extra trip for your transit operations. Extra trips can be used on an as-needed basis. The schedule information defaults from the schedule, but you can change it prior to dispatcher signoff.

Step 1.   On the Data -> Operations -> Setup -> Schedule Types screen, create a new schedule type, such as Extra.

Step 2.   On the Basic Info tab of the Data -> Operations -> Setup -> Options screen, in the Schedule type ID that indicates an extra trip field, select the identifier of the schedule type that indicates it is an extra trip.

Step 3.   On the Data -> Operations -> Schedules screen, create a schedule for the extra trip and assign a crew.

Step 4.   On the Data -> Operations -> Trips screen, create the trip.

• Note: If you choose a schedule type ID that has been designated an extra trip, the screen fields will auto-populate. On the Schedule Info tab, the Schedule type ID field will display Extra (or whatever name you've assigned).
