Arrow-buttons adjust income received and the speed a vehicle must be capable of to receive a speed-bonus (or incur a penalty if vehicle is too slow).

Details listed for each item include:
</p>
<p>
<em>colour square</em> is the same colour displayed in waiting-colour-bars above the name of a stop (where vehicles pick-up and drop-off goods, passengers and mail) to indicate quantity waiting.<br>
{Tips: Use [!] to toggle waiting-colour-bars and stop-names in game display.}  
</p> 
<p>
<em>revenue</em> is the income received for transporting one unit of an item by one square in game. 
</p>  
<p>  
<em>% bonus</em> is extra income received if vehicle, used to transport item, is capable of the speed required to qualify for a speed-bonus (or incur a penalty if vehicle is too slow). The calculation formula for income is complex and considers the maximum speed of the vehicle with the average maximum speed of available vehicles (and not the speed of the vehicle in game). 
</p>
<p>
<em>goods category</em> indicates which type of vehicle is needed for transportation. Special freight can be transported only with carriages for that item.<br>
{Tips: The <a href="depot.txt">capacity</a> of vehicles shows which items the vehicle can transport.
</p>
<p>
<em>Weight</em> is the weight of a unit of an item in kilogrammes.
