description	Query and filter school bus alerts from BusPlannerWeb portals. Use when the user needs to check for bus delays, cancellations, or school-specific transportation alerts on systems like findmyschool.ca or infobus.francobus.ca.

Bus Planner

This skill enables interaction with BusPlannerWeb portals used by many school transportation consortia.

Quick Start

To query a portal, use the scripts/query_bus.py script.

# Query all alerts for a domain
python3 scripts/query_bus.py www.findmyschool.ca

# Filter by school or bus
python3 scripts/query_bus.py infobus.francobus.ca "David Saint-Jacques" "DSJ500"

API Details

For raw API endpoint details, request bodies, and known domains, refer to references/api.md.

Workflow

1. Identify the Domain: The user will typically provide a URL (e.g., https://www.findmyschool.ca/Alerts). Extract the domain.
2. Determine Filters: Look for specific bus numbers (e.g., "140") or school names.
3. Execute Query: Use the provided python script to fetch and filter the data.
4. Interpret Results:
   • Action: Describes the issue (e.g., "Bus Delayed", "Route Annulée").
   • CreateTimeDisplay: When the alert was posted.
   • Comment: Additional details from the operator.

If no results are returned by the script, it typically means there are no active alerts matching the filters.
