// The intent of this program is to serve as a tutorial for
// users of the serialization package.  An attempt has been made
// to illustrate most of the facilities of the package.  
//
// The intent is to create an example suffciently complete to
// illustrate the usage and utility of the package while
// including a minimum of other code. 
//
// This illustration models the bus system of a small city.
// This includes, multiple bus stops,  bus routes and schedules.
// There are different kinds of stops.  Bus stops in general will
// will appear on multiple routes.  A schedule will include
// muliple trips on the same route.
