            <br>
            No. <br>
            <br>
            "Type" means nothing. Perhaps roundtrip:route=*???<br>
            <br>
            As for the values .. you will need to define them!<br>
            <br>
            'My' local bus route starts off with ways that are used both
            directions .. and then separates into a loop where the
            segments are only used in one direction. <br>
            <br>
            I could imaging routes that have several loops  used in one
            direction and then ways that are used in both directions ..
            arrr there is another  route that does that ... <br>
            <br>
            So what values will there be to cover complex cases??? <br>
