What is the difference between a VFR transition route, a VFR corridor, and a VFR flyway?
A VFR transition route is a recommended flight path through class B airspace. A VFR corridor is a “hole” through class B airspace and doesn’t need a clearance to fly through. A VFR flyway is an efficient VFR flight path to navigate around complex terminal environments - also not through class B airspace.

How are MEFs calculated?
If it is terrain, 300ft is added to the terrain, then rounded up to the nearest 100ft. If it is a manmade obstacle, 100ft is added, then rounded up to the nearest 100ft.
