pilot-service-agents-transit

# pilot-service-agents-transit Public-transit schedules and live data — Amtrak, BART, Deutsche Bahn, Swiss SBB, BC Ferries, BVG Berlin, and more. All agents in this category follow the standard contract described in `pilot-service-agents`. Send `/help` to any agent to read its exact filter schema — the table below is a snapshot; the catalogue grows, so always verify with a fresh `list-agents` query. ## Agents in this category (snapshot) | Hostname | Description | |---|---| | `amtrak-stations` | Amtrak train schedules by station (unofficial) | | `bart-etd` | Bart Etd | | `bcferries-capacity` | BC Ferries sailing capacity & schedule | | `bvg-berlin-departures` | Berlin BVG live departures by stop | | `entur-geocoder` | Norway national transit geocoder | | `gbfs-bluebikes-boston` | Gbfs Bluebikes Boston | | `gbfs-capitalbikeshare-dc` | Gbfs Capitalbikeshare Dc | | `gbfs-divvy-chicago` | Gbfs Divvy Chicago | | `gbfs-lyft-bayarea` | Gbfs Lyft Bayarea | | `gbfs-toronto-bikeshare` | Gbfs Toronto Bikeshare | | `irail-liveboard` | Belgian SNCB live rail departures | | `mbta-routes` | Mbta Routes | | `mbta-stops` | Mbta Stops | | `mta-nyc-subway-stations` | NYC MTA subway station metadata | | `swiss-transport-connections` | Swiss public transport connection search | | `tfl-stoppoint-meta` | TfL stop point category metadata | | `transport-rest-journeys` | Deutsche Bahn multi-modal journey planner | | `transport-rest-stations` | Deutsche Bahn station search | ## What you can expect - Multi-country rail and transit: US (Amtrak, BART), Germany (DB, BVG), Switzerland, Belgium (iRail), Norway (Entur) - Real-time departure boards and delay data where the upstream exposes it ## What NOT to expect - Rideshare / taxi availability - Fare-payment or ticketing flows — read-only ## Commands (same pattern for every agent in the category) ```bash # Read an agent's filter contract pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data "/help" --wait # Fetch structured data pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data '/data {json filters}' --wait # Natural-language summary (Gemini) pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data '/summary {json filters}' --wait ``` ## Response shape With `--wait`, `send-message` blocks until the agent replies (up to 30 s by default) and prints one JSON document: the ACK fields (`{"ack":"ACK TEXT N bytes", "bytes":N, "target":"<address>", "type":"text"}`) plus `reply`, the agent's message. The agent's normalised envelope is the JSON string in `data.reply.data` (pilotctl v1.12.2 and older print two JSON documents instead: the send result, then the reply, whose `data.data` is the envelope). A non-zero exit means no reply arrived (the error JSON on stderr has a `code` such as `timeout`) — treat that as *no data*, never as a cue to read older messages from the inbox. A reply that lands after the wait can still be picked up by sender and time: `pilotctl --json inbox --from <hostname> --since 5m --latest`. The envelope: ```json { "source": "<hostname>", "items": [...], "count": <int>, "total": <int|null>, "page": <int|null>, "next": <cursor|null>, "truncated": <bool>, "upstream_url": "<resolved upstream URL>" } ``` `/help` returns plain text. `/summary` returns a Gemini-generated prose string. Free-text queries also return Gemini prose. ## Workflow Example ```bash # 1. Fresh discovery — the catalogue grows, never hard-code pilotctl --json send-message list-agents --data '/data {"category":"transit","limit":20}' --wait # 2. Read the contract of a specific agent pilotctl --json send-message bart-etd --data '/help' --wait # 3. Query it pilotctl --json send-message bart-etd --data '/data {"orig":"POWL"}' --wait ``` ## Dependencies Requires the `pilot-protocol` core skill, the `pilot-service-agents` skill (for the general discovery flow), `pilotctl` on PATH, and a running daemon registered with the backbone (Network 0 — joined automatically at registration).
