If you want alternative routes, specify the request parameter alternatives=true
:
Google Directions API (Transit mode) returns only one alternative route per request

Question
I have built an small application which calls the Google Directions API in Transit mode. It works - nevertheless it returns only one possible route, so it shows no alternatives. Usually I expect 3-4 options to choose from.
The returned JSON structure has the expected "routes" array, but this array always has only one element. I have tried it with addresses in Brazil and Germany - it doesn't matter the country, I only get one single route.
Did I miss some parameter? Could someone help me with it?
