Stations

Permissions: read_stations

Use Stations to manage product stations. Stations can be used as pickup and dropoff points and can also support fixed-route or station-based products.

For the platform concept, see stations.

View stations

1. In the sidebar, select Setup, then under Locations select Stations.
2. Use the filters to narrow the list to the stations you want.
3. Select a station to open its details.

Add a station

Permissions: create_stations

1. In Stations, select Add station.
2. Enter the station details, such as its name and location.
3. Select Save.

Configure a station

Permissions: update_stations

1. In Stations, open the station you want to change.
2. Select Edit.
3. Update the station. Depending on the product, a station can have:
   • a category, used to organize and filter stations,
   • public transport connections that link it to nearby public transport locations,
   • boarding times that reserve extra time at the station, and
   • a catchment area that defines the surrounding area it serves.
4. Select Save.

Fix or unfix a station

Permissions: create_stations, update_stations

Some products require fixed stations for pickup, dropoff, or both. On those products, rides are matched only to the stations you mark as fixed, so at least one station must be fixed or no rides can be matched. To turn this on, see requires fixed stations for pickup/dropoff.

Fix station and Unfix station appear only when the product’s Requires fixed stations for pickup/dropoff setting is on. On other products the action is hidden, because fixing a station has no effect.

1. In Stations, open the options menu in the station’s row, or open the station and use the options menu in its details.
2. Select Fix station to mark the station as fixed, or Unfix station to remove the mark.

Organize stations into categories

Permissions: update_stations

1. In Stations, select Station categories.
2. Add a new category, or rename or remove an existing one.

Deactivate a station

Deactivating a station makes it temporarily unavailable during a defined time window, without deleting it.

1. In Stations, open the options menu in the station’s row.
2. Select Create deactivation.
3. Set the time window for the deactivation.
4. Select Save.

2. Select Delete station.
3. Confirm the deletion.
