Request Parameters

  • id - the stop id, encoded directly in the URL:
    • http://api.pugetsound.onebusaway.org/api/where/arrivals-and-departures-for-stop/[ID GOES HERE].xml
  • minutesBefore=n - include vehicles having arrived or departed in the previous n minutes (default=5)
  • minutesAfter=n - include vehicles arriving or departing in the next n minutes (default=35)
  • time - by default, the method returns the status of the system right now. However, the system can also be queried at a specific time. This can be useful for testing. See timestamps for details on the format of the time parameter.

Response

The response is primarily composed of <arrivalAndDeparture/> elements, so see the element documentation for specific details.

The nearby stop list is designed to capture stops that are very close by (like across the street) for quick navigation.
