Transit map used for alternative route planning

Disruption days reward travelers who decide fast and switch early.

Resilience principle

Never rely on one mode. Build a layered route plan before travel day.

Three-layer backup model

Layer	Example
Primary	Rail to central hub
Secondary	Coach to alternate hub
Tertiary	Shared ride or private transfer

Disruption command list

Open live departures for both rail and coach
Compare first realistic departure
Confirm destination compatibility
Recalculate total door-to-door time
Cancel unused booking when rules allow

Switching 20 minutes earlier is often the difference between a normal day and a cascading delay.
