Audited planning profile
This standard three-year profile applies a 1× editable baseline across 36 model periods to the public transit trip compare model.
Use the difference between option A and option B; keep the scale and horizon identical for both. Use this as the central case, then compare a lean and conservative profile. Run an adverse case for inflation, downtime and changing demand over three years.
Live fares, exchange rates, visa rules, disruption, local taxes, baggage terms and availability are not fetched automatically.
Replace defaults with current carrier, hotel, insurer and official border information before booking.
