LOGISTICS

Multi-modal routes

FAQ

How the planning works

  • 01

    Can the AI book a rental car for me?

    No. The AI can only book trips using the specific transit modes provided by the tools.

  • 02

    Does the AI decide the final itinerary?

    No. The AI proposes the route and the stops, but you must review and approve the plan.

  • 03

    Can it find walking paths between train stations?

    Yes, it can plan routes that combine walking with other transit modes.

  • 04

    Will the AI charge my card without asking?

    No. The AI uses the booking tool to facilitate the transaction, but you control when you trigger that action.

  • 05

    Can it check real-time delays for my bus?

    It can get stop information, but real-time delay tracking depends on the specific data available through the stop info tool.
