Launch of "Slow route with local stops"
On December 14th, Navitime Japan began offering a "slow route with stops at each station" on its "Transfer NAVITIME" app, giving priority to stopping at each station.
Slow route with local trains: When you search for transfers from your departure point to your destination, in addition to the usual search results (up to 4), a function that suggests routes that can be reached only by local trains with few transfers. . No settings are required, and if there is a candidate route when searching for a route, it will be automatically displayed, and if there is a corresponding route, you can compare and choose from up to 5 routes.
While looking at the congestion icon of the existing function, it is possible to search for routes that can be reached by local trains that tend to be relatively empty. In addition, by using trains that stop at each station, you can use it when traveling with children, when you want to sit as much as possible, or when you are concerned about poor physical condition.
Instead of displaying the route that uses only local trains as it is, it is possible to display trains that have fewer transfers than other routes and that use local trains as routes. Routes that take an extremely long time or detours are not displayed, and the optimal route considering the overall travel cost is presented.
The company considers the needs of "I want to travel comfortably even if it takes time", which was not displayed in the conventional route search because it was judged to be low in the midst of changes in travel needs due to the corona disaster. and implemented this function.
