Minimum transition time
The transition period is the time available to change between two modes of transport (especially two trains). For every train station at which a transfer is possible, a minimum time is defined, i.e. the minimum transition time.
This time is initially used by the railway company itself for planning the timetable and is then an orientation value for the passenger. But it also defines whether a journey with a change is a formally valid relationship. This has consequences if the arriving train is delayed:
- The connecting train may only wait if the minimum transition time was given when it arrived on schedule. Whether or not he actually does this depends on whether the other criteria are met (e.g. long-distance trains usually do not wait for regional trains).
- If the ticket is specially issued for this connecting train, the train connection will be canceled if the connection is not reached due to the delay.
The transition time consists of the physical distance (part of the platform length and the distance between the platforms) at normal walking speed, times for stair access and a quality parameter.
