fixed routes

Predetermined travel lines

Fixed routes are predetermined paths that vehicles follow on a regular schedule, especially in public transit.

A bus or train on a fixed route stops at the same locations in the same order every trip, unlike demand-responsive services that go where passengers request.

The city's fixed routes don't reach the new suburbs yet.
