<p><strong>Shared Transfers</strong></p><p><strong>Conceptual overview:</strong></p><ul><li>The Shared Service is a bus service from LeChable to Verbier (about 10mins drive) that can be shared by multiple passengers allowing people to complete their journey without hiring an expensive taxi<ul><li> It is a bus with up to 13 seats. </li><li>LeChable is where the train arrives, at the bottom of the mountain. Verbier is the mountain village where the skiers stay. <ul><li>Uphill (arrivals, at start of holiday): LeChable→ Verbier </li><li>Downhill (departures, at end of holiday): Verbier → LeChable</li></ul></li></ul></li><li>There is a Shuttle (ie a bus available) for every train that starts/ends at LeChable that goes to/from GVA. Typical tourist from, say London….<ul><li>Arrival: <ul><li>Flight: London→ GVA</li><li>Train: GVA→ LeChable</li><li>Shuttle bus: LeChable→Verbier (uphill)</li></ul></li><li>Departure: <ul><li>Shuttle bus: Verbier→LeChable (downhill)</li><li>Train: LeChable → GVA</li><li>Flight: GVA→ London</li></ul></li><li>Therefore<ul><li>The uphill shuttle (LC→V) is derived from the fight arrivals and then matched train GVA→LC (working forward from the flight arrival time)</li><li>The downhill shuttle (V→LC) is derived from the fight departures and then matched train LC→GVA (working backwards from the flight departure time)</li></ul></li></ul></li><li>Each passenger is assigned to their best shuttle according to their flight details. See flight_trip index - which assigns them to the best train time.</li><li>Let's first assume infinite capacity for the Shuttle and then consider how to limit the seats.</li></ul><p><strong>Assigning Transfers to a Shuttle Bus </strong></p><ul><li>A “Shared” Transfer (in a booking) needs to be assigned to a shuttle </li><li>This is important as there are limited seats and the shuttle driver needs to know who they are picking up and where they are taking them to</li><li>Also, I want to be able to see the list of shuttles and how many seats are booked (and free = 13 - # booked), as during the day as flights are late/early people may need to be bumped to earlier/later shuttles. This should only applies to the Arrivals (Uphill) shuttles as people will take their chosen Shuttle on the Departures (downhill) in time to catch their planes (ie we are ‘upstream’ of any flight delays). But we should be able to bump people up down the shuttles schedule easily/quickly and indeed enable the user to do that themselves (we should send them an email/whatsapp when we think they are on their train and confirm etc). </li></ul><p><strong>Pricing</strong></p><ul><li>There is also the pricing of Shared to consider</li></ul>
