1490s

This dimension groups a route or scheduled service by the era in which it was first established. Historians studying transport rely on periodization, since it "can provide a convenient segmentation of time, wherein events within the period might consist of relatively similar characteristics," as Wikipedia puts it. Browsing by established era groups services that began under similar technology and demand.
