Request Alternative Routes

To request a public transport route using the CalculateRouteRequest service, you must specify the start (waypoint0) and destination (waypoint1) waypoints and choose a public transport routing mode.

Additionally, you must include your authentication credentials, an apiKey or app_id and app_code if you are using the app_id/app_code authentication (see the Identity & Access Management Developer Guide) with each request to the Routing API v7.

This is an example public transport routing request for alternative routes, in addition to the main route.
