I have be finding a clear differences between trip and route terminologies. I am also developing a transit system using goole transit. This thread answers has a very clear explanation. But one confusion remains, can trip exist without routes? I think logically it can. But what about in google transit context?

No, a trip cannot exist without an associated route in routes.txt.
The 'route_id' column for each trip in trips.txt is required and must reference a route_id from routes.txt.
