Fare Leg Join Rules

Optional Defines when two consecutive legs with a transfer should be considered as a single “effective fare leg” for the purpose of matching rules in fare_leg_rules.txt.

Primary Key: (from_network_id, to_network_id, from_stop_id, to_stop_id)

Matching Logic:

• If both from_network_id and to_network_id match consecutive legs’ networks, and from_stop_id/to_stop_id match station or stop IDs for the transfer, those two legs merge into one effective leg.
• If a field is empty, that field is ignored for matching.
• Consecutive transfers that each match a join rule merge the entire sub-journey into a single effective fare leg.
