Recurring trips

Recurring trips are standing orders — the same ride repeating weekly on the days you choose. Dialysis runs, day programs, and work trips are all recurring trips. There is no separate "routes" setup: recurrence lives right on the trip.

Create a recurring trip

1. Click Create Trip in the sidebar.
2. Fill in the member, funding, and leg details as usual (see Creating a trip).
3. In the Schedule section, switch from One-time to Recurring (weekly).
4. Under Repeats on, click the weekdays the trip runs (Mon–Sun).
5. Set Starts and, optionally, Ends (optional). Leave the end date blank for an open-ended series.
6. Click Save trip.

The slideout's subtitle confirms the mode: "Repeats weekly on the days you select."

Drivers on a recurring trip

Each leg has a Driver (optional) field that applies to every occurrence. If a different driver covers certain weekdays, expand + Different driver on specific days and pick a driver per day — days without an override use the default driver.

Make an existing trip recurring

From the Trip List you can convert trips in bulk:

1. Select the trips (or a single trip) and click Set recurrence in the table toolbar.
2. In the Make trips recurring dialog, pick the Repeat on days and an End date (optional).
3. Optionally check Also assign one driver and choose a driver for the whole series.
4. Click Make recurring.

Each selected trip repeats weekly starting from its current date. Each leg of a round trip is set separately. If the selected trip came from a broker, ZeitRide creates a recurring internal trip that automatically absorbs that member's matching future broker trips — so you don't end up with duplicates.

For a single broker-fed trip, use Edit on its row: the broker's address and times are shown read-only ("From broker · read-only"), and the Recurrence section lets you set the weekly pattern with Save recurrence.

Editing a series vs. one day

• Change the standing pattern — open the trip with View / edit details and edit days, times, or addresses; this affects the series going forward.
• Change a date range only — use temporary scheduling to move trips to another driver or reorder a run for specific dates, then automatically revert. See Temporary schedule changes.
• Change one occurrence's driver — when you assign a recurring trip on the Dispatch board, ZeitRide asks whether the change applies to Just this day, Every occurrence of that weekday, or Every day (whole series). See The Dispatch board.

Run order stays consistent

When you save a stop order for a run made of recurring trips, ZeitRide asks whether to apply it to This day only or Every occurrence — so your drivers can run the same order every day if that's how you operate.

Ending or removing a series

• Set an Ends date to let the series stop on its own.
• Archive the trip (in the Edit Trip slideout) to remove all future stops while keeping past history — the right choice for a member who stopped riding.
• Delete permanently erases the trip and all its records; use it only for mistakes.

Note: Recurring trips show an indigo ↻ badge in the Trip List with the repeat days (for example "↻ Mon, Wed").
