New feature of the Railfinder journey planner live today: avoiding station changes that require a metro or similar
We now consider transfers in three levels: within a station, walking between nearby stations, and changes that require local transit.
If the fastest journey possible requires a worse change of stations, we calculate other options that have easier transfers. And we promote the easier journeys higher in the list of results.
For example going Brussels - Barcelona skipping Paris ⤵️
This is great! I hope we will eventually get multi-stop/via and avoids as well.
@leffe Eventually yes! It’s a bit more complex to build so that will have to be after we’ve sorted out reliability and coverage for tickets that we’re happy with.
In the meantime it’s possible to do it by searching each segment separately by clicking ”Add stop” after selecting a specific journey (but before checking out). This will combine all of them into one booking and it will merge tickets between searches if appropriate.
