This dimension names the broader idea or category that a particular route or service best illustrates. A bus, for example, is "a motor vehicle that carries significantly more passengers than an average car or van, but fewer than the average rail transport," according to Wikipedia, and a specific bus route can stand as the clearest working example of that whole category. Browsing by what a service exemplifies points a visitor to the single best case of a wider pattern.
