The XML Representation

One way encoding this example would be to have a separate route and journey pattern for each column, thus there would be five routes and five journey patterns, each with a single section. Since however the vehicle travels over the same route in the same order, but just passes by certain stops it is possible also to encode it in a less verbose manner by having a single journey pattern with an stop activity of pass at certain stops.
