Everything here is under two minutes, written like a person, and about one thing: paying less to get where you're going when a lift covers part of the way. They come from building Partway, the free iPhone app that finds the best station to be dropped at.
The nearest station is usually the wrong one. The three things that decide it.
Often the honest answer is the third option: ride partway, train the rest.
One person drove, everyone lives somewhere else. Pick each drop-off properly.
Take the spare seat out of the site, even when it's not going to your city.
Ride clear of the match-day crowds, then train it from a calm station.
Your lift from arrivals doesn't live where you do. Here's the middle answer.
Pair carless guests with drivers, and choose the drop station properly.
The family station run, aimed at the station that actually wins.
It can reason about the map. It can't see today's trains or real prices.
What the ticket rules actually say about boarding partway along the route.
It knows the distance and the drive time. It does not know the fare.
Fares are odd on purpose, and the next station along can want far less.
Beating the traffic, the parking and the fare in one move.
For parents and students. Most trips home do not need the whole car.
Yes, it is. What it means, and how it plays with getting dropped off.
The app does all of this thinking for you, free, in about ten seconds. Partway on the App Store. Still curious? The questions people ask, answered straight.
