How to do the basic settings in Transport

Complete the basic settings before you start setting up transport. Go to Menu → Administration → Transport → Settings → Basic Settings.

1. Route mode

Route mode decides how routes are assigned to passengers. There are two options:

Passengers may be assigned a different pickup and drop route

Choose this option if passengers use different routes for pickup and drop. When you assign transport to students or employees, you will see separate pickup and drop options.

Passengers are assigned one route for pickup and drop

Choose this option if passengers use the same route for both pickup and drop. The transport assignment page will show a single route.

2. Fare mode

Fare mode decides how fares are set for your transport service. There are two options:

Stops may have different fares

Choose this option if each stop has its own fare. When creating a route, you will be able to enter a different fare for each stop.
