Capabilities

Tools 6

find_places

Finds bus stops, stations and the places around them by name, in one city or in every city. Accepts common English spellings of Pakistani place names, such as Faizabad or Faiz Abad. Returns the place_id and city each other tool needs. When nothing matches in a city, it lists the stops in that city served by the most routes.

Discovered
list_cities

Lists the Pakistani cities with PakBus routes, the number of routes in each and the city name in Urdu.

Discovered
place_departures

Lists the next three departures today from a place for each route and direction that boards there, soonest first, with the minutes until each, the last bus of the day, the fare and the stops each direction serves after the place. Routes with live bus positions give live times counted from where each bus is now.

Discovered
plan_journey

Plans bus and metro journeys between two places in one city network. Returns the first journey leaving at or after the departure time as numbered steps with boarding stops, changes, walking, times and fare, a link that opens it in PakBus, and up to two later departures on one line. When the first bus has live positions and the journey leaves within the hour, it also says when the next one reaches the boarding stop. Apps that show interactive views also get a map of the journey.

Discovered
route_details

Lists a city's routes with fares, or shows one route: its stops in order in each direction, its fare, the day’s departure times from the first stop and, for routes with live bus positions, where each bus is now. Finds a route by code such as EV5701, by name such as Orange Line, or by service such as Green Electric Bus.

Discovered
service_notices

Lists current and announced service changes in a city network, such as closed stations, skipped stops or diversions, for every route or for one route by code, name or service. plan_journey, place_departures and route_details already include the changes on the routes they use.
