Stops

If you are not yet familiar with GraphQL and GraphiQL it is highly recommended to review those pages at first.

Notes about stop IDs

• Stop IDs are in FeedId:StopId format
• Timisoara area feed ID is stpt
• Stop ID is available from field gtfsId (note that field gtfsId also contains the feed ID)

Query examples

Note: For more details about the query types related to stops you can use the Documentation Explorer provided in GraphiQL.

Note: If the examples provided with an ID do not return what is expected then the ID in question may not be in use any more and you should try again with an existing ID.

Query all stops, returning their ID, name, location and zone

• Value of zoneId tells which zone the stop is located in

Query stops by location and radius

• If the argument first is not used in the query, all results will be on one page.
• Note: argument radius is the maximum walking distance along streets and paths to the stop
• Click this link to run the query below in GraphiQL.

{
  stopsByRadius(lat:60.199, lon:24.938, radius:500) {

        }
        distance
      }
    }
  }
}

2. Press play in GraphiQL to execute the query.

Query scheduled departure and arrival times of a stop

• Value serviceDay in the response is Unix timestamp (local timezone) of the departure date

• Values scheduledArrival, realtimeArrival, scheduledDeparture and realtimeDeparture in the response are seconds since midnight of the departure date

  • To get Unix timestamp (UTC time) of arrivals and departures, add these values to serviceDay

Next departures and arrivals

Query departures near a specific location

• Query type nearest can be used to query departure rows near a specific location
• Departure row is a special location type, which lists departures of a certain route pattern from a certain stop
• Querying nearest departure rows returns only one stop per pattern
• i.e. if there are multiple stops that a certain pattern uses, only the closest stop is returned
• Click this link to run the query below in GraphiQL.

{
	nearest(lat: 45.7410432, lon: 21.14655, maxDistance: 500, filterByPlaceTypes: DEPARTURE_ROW) {
    edges {
      node {
