Structures describing <a href="#Direction">path/stop</a>
information.<br>
<br>
Most routes will return content in both Direction0 and
Direction1 elements, though a few will return NULL for Direction0 or for Direction1.<br>
<br>
0 or 1 are binary properties. There is no specific mapping to
direction, but a different value for the same route signifies
that the route is in an opposite direction.
