A passive segment is a set of trip information entered into the GDS that does not cause a ticket to be issued by the GDS. For example, a user may be taking a train between cities, and although you do not use the GDS to issue the train ticket, you may want all of the trip information to be in one place for the user's benefit, and so that agents can generate itineraries or make notes. 

The following tables list examples of rail passive segments in each GDS, and break down the components of each.
