Given ATCO codes, shows the next bus times at given stops.

This is particularly useful bound to a keybinding and passed to libnotify’s notify-send program, so you can quickly get an overview of the next buses at stops you care about.

You must set WTB_APP_ID and WTB_APP_KEY to an app ID and app key valid at TransportAPI.

Usage

Pass ATCO codes with -a. See below for how to find them.

% WTB_APP_ID=xxx WTB_APP_KEY=xxx wtb -a 490004733D -a 4100008HAYRS
Canada Water Bus Station (Stop D) (490004733D):
- 199 to Canada Water: Due, 11 min, 25 min
- C10 to Canada Water: 3 min, 9 min, 19 min
- 1 to Canada Water: 8 min, 20 min
- P12 to Surrey Quays: 11 min, 20 min
- 225 to Canada Water: 13 min
- LO-M to Canada Water: 23 min

Haymarket Bus Station (R) (4100008HAYRS):
- 44 to Dinnington: 4 min, 34 min, 1 hr 4 min
- 43 to Cramlington Manor Walks Dudley Lane: 11 min, 41 min
- 45 to Dinnington: 19 min, 49 min, 1 hr 19 min
- 43 to Morpeth Bus Station: 26 min

How do I find ATCO codes?

  • For London bus stops, it’s in the URI. For example, in this URI, “490004733D” is the ATCO code.

  • For non-London, try the following:

    1. Navigate to the bus stop on OpenStreetMap

    2. On the right, click “layers”

    3. Tick “map data”

    4. Click on the bus stop on the map

    5. On the left, you should see the ATCO code (possibly as something like naptan:AtcoCode)
