# Journey Planner

## Having created a network and accompanying service, Podaris’ journey planner allows you to understand how individual journeys will navigate your multi-modal network.

The Journey Planner tool is designed to help you explore connectivity across your network on given days and times. After selecting your origin and destination, and Podaris will calculate the journey, including wait and walk times for each step based on the services (both scheduled, and on-demand) in your project.

#### Creating a Journey Plan

#### ![Using the journey planner](https://support.podaris.com/hubfs/journey-planner-gif.gif)

In order to create a list of potential journey options across your network, you must first click to specify the point **from **where the journey originates and the point **to **which you're travelling. Click-dragging these points will automatically generate a new route.

The **Day **and **Time **parameters allow Podaris to calculate all possible routes, according to any frequency or timetable information specified in any [services](https://support.podaris.com/services-overview?hsLang=en) that you have created in your project.

You can also specify whether the **Time **you have set is the time at which you wish to **Depart **or **Arrive**.

**Wait times** between transfers can be calculated either as an **average** (taking into account the frequencies of your services) or according to your service timetables. You can find more information about how wait times are calculated [here.](https://support.podaris.com/wait-time?hsLang=en) 

### Exploring the results

Clicking the ![plan button](https://support.podaris.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-21-2021-09-31-51-14-PM.png?width=64&name=image-png-Mar-21-2021-09-31-51-14-PM.png) button will allow you to generate a list of possible journeys between your origin and destination. The ![clear](https://support.podaris.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-21-2021-09-33-21-58-PM.png?width=66&name=image-png-Mar-21-2021-09-33-21-58-PM.png) button will reset this.

![journies](https://support.podaris.com/hubfs/image-png-Mar-21-2021-09-30-52-60-PM.png)

From here you can see the amount of transfers necessary to make the journey, the necessary transport modes, the distance of the journey and the overall time from origin to destination. Transfers are not shown as a numeric value, instead they are implied and can be understood by counting the different mode icons in the journey.

Clicking one of these possible journeys will give you a full list of all steps in the journey. Once a journey is active, anExport button becomes available. This allows you to export the selected route for use outside the tool.
