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.

       It should be noted that efa, although using the web interface of a local transport association, is able to look up connections all over
       Germany.

OPTIONS

       --from city stop
	   Departure place

       --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

       -a|--arrive hh:mm
	   Journey end time (overrides --time/--depart)

       -d|--date dd.mm.[yyyy]
	   Journey date

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

       -e|--exclude transports

       -m|--max-change number
	   Print connections with at most number interchanges

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

	   o   speed (default)

	       The faster, the better

	   o   nowait

	       Prefer connections with less interchanges

	   o   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:

	   o   local (default)

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

	   o   ic

	   o   ice

	       All trains (local + IC + ICE)

       -I|--ignore-info [ regex ]

       --timeout seconds
	   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
