Hi!
I was testing this function out and my problem is with how the itineraries were ranked. The first two itineraries were the exact same (boarding the silver and debarking at transit plaza) however one bus departs at 7:26 while the bus in the other itinerary departs at 7:02. The first itinerary with the bus leaving much later at 7:26 was ranked first because it had a travel time that was one minute shorter than the other. I would rather have the other itinerary with the bus departing earlier ranked first since the person would arrive at their destination much earlier. So I guess my question is can you rank the itineraries based on the the earliest time the person will arrive at their destination instead of just total travel time. I tried it out using the trip planner on your website and it also does the same thing. Thanks!

Could you give us the parameters you used to plan the trip? We're having some discussion about the trip planner and an example of your problem would help. Thanks!

Ok, this is for a different stop but it's the same problem - http://developer.cumtd.c...lannedTripsByLatLon?key=[key]&origin_lat=40.09949&origin_lon=-88.2204&destination_lat=40.110568&destination_lon=-88.225412&minimize=time&max_walk=.3 Below (if the image shows up) is when I used your trip planner with similar parameters showing the same problem. Basically the itinerary with the soonest arrival time isn't ranked first because it has a longer travel time. Thanks!

We're currently having an internal discussion about how best to rank itineraries for the API and the website. Once we come to a decision I'll be sure to let you know here.
