Fixed Route Mode Comparison

The Fixed Route Mode Comparison is a report produced on the Compare tab of the Transit Data Bundle Utility in the Admin Console. This will compare specified fixed routes between two bundles, noting differences in the number of weekday trips, Saturday trips, and Sunday trips, ordered by number of stops per trip for the specified route. The two bundles that are compared are the current bundle as shown on the Build tab and the bundle selected on the Compare tab.

Specific routes can be grouped under a "mode" and any differences in the number of weekday, Saturday, and Sunday trips between the current bundle and the bundle selected on the Compare tab will be highlighted in the "Comparison of Fixed Route Modes" table. All routes for the same mode will be grouped together in the table. Entries are in green if they are only in the current bundle, entries in red are only in the bundle selected on the Compare tab.

The data used as the criteria for the comparison is specified at FixedRouteDataValidation. Each line in the file has two comma-separated values. The first is the name of the mode, which is simply a label which will appear in the report. The second value can be either a specific route in the format <agencyId>_<routeId>, e.g. 23_100340, or it can be just the agency id, e.g. "95", in which case it will include all routes for that agency.

The table shows only the differences, so if the two bundles matched for the specified routes, the table would be empty.
