# SeptaStopLocator

Get the SEPTA stops closest to a lat/long point for a given bus/trolley route.

``` ruby

require 'septa_stop_locator'

SeptaStopLocator.find(39.9539910, -75.1682170, 34)

=> [{"lng"=>-75.165345,

  "lat"=>39.952672,

  "stopid"=>20659,

  "stopname"=>"15th St Trolley Station",

  "distance"=>935.6262555741262},

## About the stops returned

One stop is typically an inbound stop, while the other is typically an outbound stop.

The stops returned can be used to query the SEPTA Bus/trolley schedules API:
