Booking On-Demand Transport (Taxi)

leonardehrenfried commented 3 years ago

In Herrenberg after 9pm some busses are replaced with Taxis that you need to book in advance.

For example, when you want to travel from Nufringen to Gültstein at 10 pm, you will receive something that looks like a normal bus route: https://tinyurl.com/yds6qdkz

Flex mode

However, you can also book a special mode that will take you directly to your door (if it's within 300m of a bus stop). We want to show this mode in a separate "tile" next to the cycling, p+r ... modes. This is the "Taxi" Icon that we are using combined with the public transit icon for the new flex mode tile: TaxiIcon.zip

The icon should be a car with a bus in the background.

In this tile, you need to add the modes FLEX_DIRECT, FLEX_EGRESS. The result should then look like this.

Booking info

Also in both cases you must get additional data from the GraphQL API about the following booking requirements:

booking telephone number and URL
a warning about having to book ahead of time

We have added new GraphQL properties for the booking info and with the following query you can get the message, telephone number and URL.

query{
  plan(
    date: "2021-06-02"
    time: "22:30"
    from: { lat:  48.6226, lon: 8.8879 }
    to: { lat: 48.5755, lon: 8.8795 }
    transportModes: [
      { mode: RAIL },
      { mode: FLEX, qualifier: EGRESS },
      { mode: FLEX, qualifier: DIRECT },
      { mode: WALK },
    ],
    maxWalkDistance: 5000
  ) {
    itineraries {
      legs {
        mode
        rentedBike
        distance
        startTime
        endTime
        pickupBookingInfo {
          message
          contactInfo {
            phoneNumber
            infoUrl
            bookingUrl
          }
        }
        route {
          url
          mode
          shortName
        }
        trip {
          gtfsId
          tripShortName
        }
        from {
          name
          bikeRentalStation {
            name
            id
          }
        }
        to {
          name
          bikeRentalStation {
            name
            id
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

The new part is:

 pickupBookingInfo {
          message
          contactInfo {
            phoneNumber
            infoUrl
            bookingUrl
          }
        }

I have to say that this ticket is very unclearly formulated. We might need to have a chat about this one @leonardehrenfried.

leonardehrenfried commented 3 years ago

That's a valid point.

The point is that we don't know what is going to be possible so I can't really specify it it any better.

I hope I can clarify over the next couple of days.
