# MetroTransit API - Ruby

This API provides data from MetroTransit.org in a JSON encoded format.

Written by [Joe Pintozzi](http://pintozzi.com), source available on [github](https://github.com/pyro2927/MetroTransit-API).

## Updates!!

Stops are now returned as an array so they maintain the correct order from .  /nextTrip accepts a stop number for convenience.

**This takes much influence from [cmaul](https://github.com/cmaul)'s [MetroTransit-API](https://github.com/cmaul/MetroTransit-API).  The [current implementation](http://metrotransitapi.appspot.com/) on Google's App Engine seems to no longer work, so I decided to rewrite it in ruby.**

[hkp](https://github.com/hkp)'s [heroku-sinatra-app](https://github.com/hkp/heroku-sinatra-app) was used as a base to quickly get this up onto Heroku.

Currently Supported Interfaces:

* routes - Displays the list of all routes provided by MetroTransit.

* directions - Displays the list of potential directions for a given route.

* stops - Displays the list of stops given a route and a direction

* nextrip/nextTrip - Displays a list of times for the bus to arrive given a stop, direction, and route
