=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<efa> is a command line client for the L<http://efa.vrr.de> web interface.
It sends the specified information to the online form and displays the results.
B<efa> is a command line client for EFA-based public transit routing
interfaces, e.g. L<http://efa.vrr.de>.  B<efa> requests connections between two
points and displays the results.

It also supports other EFA services than L<http://efa.vrr.de>.  B<efa> has a
builtin list of EFA entry points which can be probed with the B<-A> and B<-D>
options and listed with B<-l>. You can also specify a custom service using
B<-u> I<url> or B<-s> I<name>.
However, the default EFA service is sufficient in most cases (even ICE
connections all over Germany).
By default, the EFA service at L<http://efa.vrr.de> (operated by
Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr) is used, which supports most places in Germany.
A list of all supported EFA instances can be retrieved with B<-l> and a custom
instance can be selected using B<-s> I<service> or B<-u> I<url>. It is also
possible to probe all known EFA services for a specific connection using the
B<-A> and B<-D> options.
