Richard, The solution to your problem is relatively easy. One way of solving your problem is to create Voronoy polygons around the positions of your rapid transit stations. These polygons represent the area in which the point of the rapid transit station is the closest. Next, execute the

One way of solving you problem is to assign each base class with a 'Magic' number. You could use factors of 2. e.g. 1,2,4,8,16,32,...,1024,2048... etc. The neat thing with these numbers is that if if you add them they act as a logic OR. And from the result you van always deduce which were the
