DESCRIPTION

       efa is a command line client for the <http://efa.vrr.de> web interface.  It sends the
       specified information to the online form and displays the results.

       association, is able to look up connections all over Germany.

       --to city stop
           Arrival place

       --via city stop
           Travel via this place

           In case you want stop to be an address or "point of interest", you can set it to
           'addr:something' or 'poi:something'.

       -t|--time|--depart hh:mm
           Journey start time

       -b|--bike
           Choose connections allowing to carry a bike

           Display duration, ticket class and price for each route (if available)

       -m|--max-change number

       -P|--prefer type
           Prefer connections of type:

           •   speed (default)

               The faster, the better

           •   nowait

               Prefer connections with less interchanges

           •   nowalk

               Prefer connections with less walking (at interchanges)

       -p|--proximity
           Take stops close to the stop/start into account and possibly use them instead

       -i|--include type
           Include connections using trains of type type, where type may be:

           •   local (default)

               only take local trains ("Verbund-/Nahverkehrslinien"). Slow, but the cheapest
               method if you're not travelling long distance

           •   ic

               Local trains + IC

           •   ice

       -I|--ignore-info [ regex ]
           Ignore additional information matching regex (default: /Fahrradmitnahme/)

           If regex is not supplied, removes the default regex (-> nothing will be ignored)

           Set timeout for HTTP requests. Default: 60 seconds.

       --post key=value
           Add key with value to the HTTP POST request sent to the EFA server.  This can be used
           to use setting efa does not yet cover, like "--post lineRestriction=400" to also show
           IC and ICE trains.  Note that --post will be overridden by the standard efa options,
           such as --time

       -v|--version
           Print version information
