merged bus routes

[Drew Baden]

In Seattle I ride the 5 bus all the time from north Seattle down to the stadium.   It turns out that the 5 bus becomes the 21 bus past Wall St and 5th Ave.   

When I use the schedule-for-route or stops-for-route to get the routes for the 5 bus (1_100229), it only gives me the southbound stations that end at Wall St, where the 21 bus begins.   So the 5 bus becomes the 21 bus after Wall St, going south, but going north the 21 bus becomes the 5 bus at Wall St.

Is there a way to get that information from one of the API methods?   I tried to find it but couldn't, so maybe it's just a rule that one has to know?   Any ideas?

Thanks,

   Drew

Check out the trip-details API and its nextTripId field. That’s how the iOS app implements the feature.

Thanks Aaron, that’s very helpful!

Can you send a link to the code for the iOS app that does this?

Also, is there any documentation somewhere that details maybe how the server puts this together?   

Thanks again,

Search the iOS code base for the string “continues as”. I’ll admit I haven’t looked at most of the relevant code in … 6 years(?!) so I’m not a great resource for answering questions about all of the inner workings of this feature. That said, I suggest looking at the relevant model files in the iOS code base, which contain a lot of information about how the app decodes information from the server.
