I want to get all matched data from an object but I am getting an empty array.

Here is the location table:

const locationSchema = new mongoose.Schema(
  {
    location: {
      name: {
        type: String,
        unique: true,
        required: true,
        lowercase: true,
      },
      subLocation: [String],
    },
  },
  {
    timestamps: true,
  }
);

and it is embedded in route table:

const routeSchema = new mongoose.Schema(
  {
    location: {
      from: {
        type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
        ref: "Location",
        required: true,
      },
      to: {
        type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
        ref: "Location",
        required: true,
      },
    },
    busId: {
      type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
      ref: "Bus",
      required: true,
    },
    date: {
      type: String,
      required: true,
    },
    departureTime: {
      type: Number,
      required: true,
    },
    arrivalTime: {
      type: Number,
      required: true,
    },
  },
  {
    timestamps: true,
  }
);

Now I am running query to get the matched data from route table but I am getting an empty array. http://127.0.0.1:3000/trips?from=6295871d69217e9c28cf7f19&to=6295874869217e9c28cf7f1c&date=2022-06-02 here is the query :

router.get("/trips", async (req, res) => {
  if (!req.query.from || !req.query.to || !req.query.date) {
    return res.send({
      error: "Please enter the data to get the trip",
    });
  }
  const { from, to, date } = req.query;

  const routes = await Route.find({
    from,
    to,
    date,
  });

Another Question: I am passing an Id as a value now I want to pass value as a sting like this: from=Mumbai&to=Ahmedabad&date=2022-06-02. How to do that? because whenever I do that I am getting a casting error
