ExitTOC TIMSNT Introduction 2003-Part 3 10 What are Run Directions? The routes, composed of Garage Run(s), Deadhead Run(s) and Bus Run(s) are the outlines for the buses travel Run directions fill in the details of how this is going to happen in your district’s road network Run directions look for the fastest way to travel from point A to point B based on segment adjacencies, length, speed and direction Fine tuning these attributes through Maris or within Edulog.nt allow the data to reflect “real world” times and distances for your bus runs
