Feature request: Allow en route trip planning #34

Open kuperman opened 6 years ago

kuperman commented 6 years ago

There are times when a user is already en route to their destination and they might want to reconsider their travel options. (E.g., traffic backup, bridge lift, missed their stop) With the feature suggested in #33 where the current Trip ID can be known, allow the user to do a lookup based on the future stop times for their route instead of their current geolocation. E.g, if I'm on the red line MAX heading towards the airport, use the regular trip planning algorithm either from when the MAX was at the previous stop or pretending that the user is already at the next stop. The current system assumes that the user would have to walk to the MAX stop (giving an incorrect departure time) or suggesting a nearby bus route which is unreachable because the user is unable to deboard the MAX until a stop.

I think the regular trip planning function would work but change the location to be that of the stop and the departure time to be 1 or 2 minutes before the current Trip Id was/will be there.

Apologies for not noticing this before. We can use the thing I mentioned below - I finally going to make it available by default. But also I think I am going to add some options to the trip planner - e.g. "leave a little later".

I have added an option to a detailed departure to plan a trip starting a minute after the departure. This to allow you to plan a trip from there onwards.

@kuperman @teleportaloo has this been fully implemented in the public (stable) release?

If so, this issue can be closed?
