Managing lines

A line is a PuT network object. It structures the public transport supply. In Visum the line itself has no course in space. Rather, it has the purpose to combine the following network objects which are on a lower level in the line hierarchy (Fundamentals: The line hierarchy):

  • Line routes

One or several line routes which are allocated to a line specify a line's course in space.

  • Time profiles

Time profiles specify the travel times between the stop points of a line route.

  • Vehicle journeys

You can display and edit vehicle journeys in the tabular timetable (Managing vehicle journeys and vehicle journey sections).

  • Vehicle journey sections

You can display and edit vehicle journey sections in the tabular timetable (Managing vehicle journeys and vehicle journey sections).

Several lines can be allocated to a main line (Managing line routes and time profiles).
