- 1
Define the exact problem
We separate the symptom, place, timing, ticket, or device involved so the answer fits the traveller’s situation.
- 2
Check primary sources
We prioritise government agencies, transport operators, official manuals, and recognised institutions.
- 3
Compare rules and exceptions
We separate common guidance from differences that depend on the operator, city, route, or date.
- 4
Build a decision path
We put checks, numbers, and next actions in order so you can decide without repeating the same search.
