Create Sector Pickup Lists

• DIRECTION OF TRAVEL (S = South)

Examples:

Create Sector Pickup Lists

Click on the Edit/Add Tours Submenu.

Confirm that the Bus Sector code (BUSCAIS) is not already in use

Click on the Tour Setup Wizard button.

Type in the Code and Name for the bus route.

In Operator, select the tour operator who operates this sector.
Usually this is the same as the financial owner, but may be an outside bus operator.

In Owner, check that the Financial Owner is Hop-on Hop-off. Click next
In this example no other financial entity exists for Hop-on Hop-off so there is only once choice.

Select Pickup as the Tour Type and click Next.

Add the new schedule time and make it the default. Click Next then Finish.
For Hoho the Bus Sector time MUST match the Hoho Sector Time

Open the BUSCAIS Tour

Click on the Advanced tab to set:

The New Price Matrix is irrelevant on bus routes since the pricing is Pax Only

• TICK Disable Availability Check

The Availability will be set using Rostering on the Hoho sector

Click on the Locations tab to open the Bus Route Configuration window.

Click on the New Stop button.

Label stops in numerical order (e.g. STOP 1)
A stop represents a pickup TIME so each pickup time needs a new stop.
The pickup time is indicated by the Pickup Increment field and this is the number of minutes after the route start time
Click Save Changes to exit each stop.

Once all the Stops (Pickup times) are stored it is time to add the pickup locations against each pickup time
If there are no Locations created yet, click Create Pickup Locations to add

click, drag and drop pickup locations from the right hand column, (using the search field to quickly find locations), to the relevant stop label.

Once all relevant pickup locations have been placed under the appropriate stop,
Right click the location to open the Pickup Location Details, and add a sequence number (in gradients of 10) to maintain the order of the locations under each stop.

Click Save Changes to exit.
Click Done when all pickups have been entered.
Finally, click Save to exit back into the Edit/Add Tours window.

Create Pickup Locations

Pickup locations can be added by clicking on the Locations tab on a bus route, then Edit Locations

Type into the Search box to find a pickup location

Click Add New if required pickup location is not listed.
In the Edit Location window add name of pickup, and address if desired or known, and then Save to exit.
