Generalised Cost - Generalised Time

Generalised Time

If the monetary cost of the journey (p) is considered to be irrelevant for the purposes of the exercise (for example, when comparing different journey options through a public transport network when fares are constant), there is no need to convert the generalised cost to a currency value - instead, it can be left in units of time, as long as all time is equivalent (for example, if all time is converted to in-vehicle time). These units of time may be referred to as generalised time.

    Or would interior time, that could delay
    The sentence chronic with the last assize,
    Start running backwards with its timely lies,
    I might have time to live the love I say....
