Display bus routes on search box

[Alberto Trujillo González]

Hello everyone,

Does anybody knows if the API provides a way to display a list of bus routes when typing in a search box? I'm looking for the same functionality that can be found on the "Next Bus" widget on the https://www.translink.ca/ website, but I can not find anything like that on the RTTI Open API.

Thanks in advance.

It would probably be easier to grab the list of routes from the static GTFS data set and load it in your own autocomplete UI.  TransLink's GTFS data can be downoaded here: https://developer.translink.ca/servicesgtfs/gtfsdata

See routes.txt (reference documentation: https://developers.google.com/transit/gtfs/reference#routestxt )

Thank you so much Dennis; that's definitely a solution, I'll take a look at it.
