A TransportType specifies the mode of transportation used for part of a route.

  • The route requires the user to drive or ride a car, truck, or motorcycle.

    This is the usual transport type when the profileIdentifier is ProfileIdentifier.automobile or ProfileIdentifier.automobileAvoidingTraffic.

  • The route requires the user to board a ferry.

    The user should verify that the ferry is in operation. For driving and cycling directions, the user should also verify that their vehicle is permitted onboard the ferry.

    The user may need to wait for the movable bridge to become passable before continuing.

  • The route becomes impassable at this point.

    You should not encounter this transport type under normal circumstances.

  • The route requires the user to walk.

    This is the usual transport type when the profileIdentifier is ProfileIdentifier.walking. For cycling directions, this value indicates that the user is expected to dismount.

  • The route requires the user to ride a bicycle.

    This is the usual transport type when the profileIdentifier is ProfileIdentifier.cycling.

  • The route requires the user to board a train.

    The user should consult the train’s timetable. For cycling directions, the user should also verify that bicycles are permitted onboard the train.
