Question

When I was using TRANSIT as my travel mode in Google Map api V3, I defined the origin, destination and some waypoints in DirectionsRequest. However when DirectionsResult came back, DirectionsLeg only started with my origin and ended with my destination, it skipped all my waypoints.
My codes are shown as below
Does anyone get the same problem here?

function calcRoute(waypts, mode) {
var sites = [];
var mode;

//Add waypoints to array, the first and last one are not added in waypoints
for (var i = 1; i < waypts.length-2; i++) {
    sites.push({
        location:waypts[i],
        stopover:true}); //Set true to show that stop is required
}

var request = {
    origin: waypts[0], //Set the first one as origin
    destination:waypts[waypts.length-1],//Set the last one as destination
    waypoints:sites,//Set waypoints
    optimizeWaypoints:false,
    travelMode: google.maps.TravelMode[mode]
};

    //Send to Google
directionsService.route(request, function(response, status) {
  if (status == google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK) {
    directionsDisplay.setDirections(response);
    var route = response.routes[0];
    var HTMLContent = "";

            //Get response and show on my HTML
    for(var i =0; i < route.legs.length; i++){
        HTMLContent = "From " + route.legs[i].start_address + "To " + route.legs[i].end_address + "<br>";
        HTMLContent =  HTMLContent + "Distance:" + route.legs[i].distance.text + "<br>";
    }       
    $("#route_Scroll").append(HTMLContent);
  }else{
      alert(status);
  }
});

}

Yup,
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/directions#TransitOptions

“The available options for a directions request vary between travel modes. When requesting transit directions, the avoidHighways, avoidTolls, waypoints[] and optimizeWaypoints options will be ignored. You can specify transit specific routing options through the TransitOptions object literal.”

If you want to use it you would have to split the request.
