Problem: Bus Routes

Medium
30 min
Explore techniques to determine the minimum number of buses required to travel from a source station to a destination using graph theory. Understand how to model bus routes, handle constraints, and implement efficient solutions to solve this problem.

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, dest. 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
  • 11 \le routes[i].length 100\le 100
  • 00 \le routes[i][j] <1000< 1000
  • 00 \le src, dest <1000< 1000
