onebusaway_list_agenciesList all transit agencies served by this OneBusAway instance. Returns agency IDs, names, contact info, timezone, and geographic coverage center. Agency IDs are needed for onebusaway_list_routes_for_agency and onebusaway_get_vehicles.
onebusaway_find_stopsFind bus stops near a location. Returns stops within a radius, each with ID, name, direction, served routes, and wheelchair boarding status. Use stopId values from results to fetch real-time arrivals with onebusaway_get_arrivals. Optionally filter by stop code (the number printe…
onebusaway_find_routesFind transit routes near a location, optionally filtered by name or number. Returns routes with IDs, short names, and descriptions. Use routeId values to fetch schedules, vehicles, or stop sequences.
onebusaway_search_stopsSearch for stops by name or code. Returns matching stops with IDs and coordinates. Use to resolve a human-readable stop name or number to a stop ID for arrivals lookups with onebusaway_get_arrivals.
onebusaway_search_routesSearch for routes by name or number. Returns matching routes with IDs. Use to resolve a route short name (e.g. "44") to a route ID for schedule or vehicle lookups with onebusaway_get_vehicles or onebusaway_get_schedule_for_route.
onebusaway_get_stopFetch details for a specific stop by ID. Returns the stop's name, coordinates, direction, served routes, and wheelchair accessibility. Stop IDs use agency-prefixed format: {agencyId}_{localId} (e.g. "1_75403" for Metro Transit stop 75403).
onebusaway_get_routeFetch details for a specific route by ID. Returns short name, description, agency, route type, and schedule URL. Route IDs use agency-prefixed format: {agencyId}_{localId} (e.g. "1_100259").
onebusaway_list_routes_for_agencyList all routes operated by an agency. Returns route IDs, short names, and descriptions. Use to enumerate an agency's full service before searching for a specific route. Get agencyId values from onebusaway_list_agencies.
onebusaway_get_arrivalsReal-time arrivals and departures at a stop. Returns predicted arrival times, schedule deviation (how many seconds late/early), vehicle positions, and any active service alerts. The predicted boolean on each arrival indicates whether GPS tracking backs the estimate — predicted=f…
onebusaway_get_stop_contextEverything happening at a stop in one call: the stop's details, its real-time arrivals, and full detail for every service alert on the stop or on any arrival in the window. Returns what onebusaway_get_stop, onebusaway_get_arrivals, and one onebusaway_get_alert call per alert wou…
onebusaway_get_alertFetch full detail for a service alert (situation) by ID. Returns the summary, description, reason (e.g. detour, construction), affected stops and routes, consequence description, and active time windows. Situation IDs appear in onebusaway_get_arrivals responses under situationId…
onebusaway_get_tripReal-time status and stop sequence for a trip. Returns vehicle position, schedule deviation, current phase, and remaining stops. Use tripId from onebusaway_get_arrivals to look up a specific vehicle's progress.
onebusaway_get_blockFetch block trip sequences with their stop times and service-calendar conditions. Top-level fields describe the first returned configuration; every remaining alternative is included without choosing a calendar date. Optionally select an exact tripId or complete trips having any…
onebusaway_get_vehiclesReal-time positions of active vehicles for an agency. Optionally filter to a single route (client-side). Returns GPS coordinates, counter-clockwise orientation from east, schedule deviation, and current trip. Reports agency records omitted for missing position coordinates. Use a…
onebusaway_get_schedule_for_stopFull-day departure schedule for a stop. Lists every departure by route and direction for the specified date (defaults to today). Optionally filter departure rows by routeId and a half-open Unix-millisecond interval; selection includes counts before and after filtering. Without s…
