Transit Operations Concepts

The basic measures and rights that run a transport system, the space vehicles use and the gap between them. An entry belongs here when the cited article calls the concept a right of way or headway. It excludes planning and policy concepts. Entries are placed by what their own cited article says, so each one sits in the narrowest group its source supports, and the group page lists it beside the other members. It is one of the groups under the Transit and Systems Operations Concepts subcategory of the Transport atlas, which has its own browse page listing every group and member.
