Remix Calendar: The New Remix Feature Puts Your Plans On a Calendar

Written by Matthew Guichard | Nov 1, 2024 7:54:16 PM

For the first time in Remix, you can create, modify, and evaluate multiple services in one project.

With Remix Calendar, you can now seamlessly assign dates to your service, visualize service changes in a calendar, understand cost implications, and publish the most accurate transit information to your riders in just a few clicks.

Here’s how to do it:

Evaluate costs and coverage for new or existing route service changes. All without leaving your project.

With service periods, you can create multiple versions of your service within a single project. Think of a service period as a snapshot or a version of your service within a map—it's a unique service combination of lines and trips. Visualize different scenarios side-by-side. Whether you’re increasing route coverage, boosting frequency, or consolidating stops, you’ll have everything you need to make confident, quick, data-driven decisions.

Compare cost and coverage for service change proposals.

Account for seasonal, school, or service exceptions. So everyone understands the holiday bus schedule.

A new calendar view offers an intuitive way to assign services to specific dates. Whether it’s special holiday routes, seasonal adjustments, or school-only services, you’ll have full control over how and when each service runs. This makes planning in advance easy—and ensures your riders always have access to the most accurate, up-to-date information over the course of the year. By assigning dates to services, you will also be able to immediately view cost implications for each period.

Finally, keep your riders informed. Publish accurate GTFS in one-click to Trip Planners.

We know accuracy matters—especially when it comes to rider-facing information. Through a single project, you can publish GTFS that accounts for the entire complexity of your service. Remix will also automatically validate your service, so you can export a clean, compliant GTFS feed, ready for trip-planning apps like Google Maps and Citymapper and swiftly provide your riders access to reliable schedules.

Connect your planning to your operations.

With the ability to compare service periods, plan ahead with precision, and publish accurate data instantly, Remix gives you the tools to operate efficiently and communicate with riders transparently. Not only that, you can now run workflows across your agency from one place. Experience a new level of operational agility and ensure your riders always have access to the most accurate, timely information—no matter how complex your transit system may be.
