Solution: Bus Routes

Explore how to solve the bus routes problem by constructing adjacency lists and applying BFS. Learn to find the minimum number of buses needed to travel between stations, develop an understanding of graph traversal, and analyze time and space complexities. This lesson enhances your ability to tackle related graph problems in coding interviews.

Statement

You are given an array, routes, representing bus routes where routes[i] is a bus route that the ithi^{th} bus repeats forever. Every route contains one or more stations. You have also been given the source station, src, and a destination station, des. Return the minimum number of buses someone must take to travel from src to dest, or return -1 if there is no route.

Constraints:

  • 11 \le routes.length 50\le 50
