If you're trying to figure out how to get across a city using a mix of trains, buses, and scooters, this Connector handles the logistics. It pulls real-time data to build a complete itinerary that includes specific transfer points, walking directions, and vehicle types. You can ask your agent to find the fastest way to a destination or check if a specific bus is running on time. It even accounts for station amenities and accessibility features, making it a reliable way to plan travel for anyone. This tool is available in the Vinkius catalog, so you can plug it into your existing workflow and let your agent handle the heavy lifting of transit planning. ## Tools ### discover_trips Finds transit routes between two points with times and transfers. It's perfect for planning journeys with multiple vehicle types. ### get_nearby_stations Locates transit stations within a specific radius of your coordinates. Use this to find all nearby stops in a specific neighborhood. ### get_route_details Provides step-by-step instructions for a specific trip ID. Review the full route before you leave to see every transfer clearly. ### get_schedule Pulls real-time departure and arrival times for a specific station. Check if your next bus or train is on time before you head out. ### get_station_details Lists facilities and accessibility info for a specific transit stop. Use this to see if a station has elevators or specific amenities. ### get_stations_by_name Finds station IDs and lines based on a text search like Central Station. This is the best way to find a stop when you only know its name. ### get_stations Lists nearby stations based on a specific GPS coordinate. Use this to find all available transit options at a specific location. ### search_multimodal_trips Plans a journey combining transit with walking, biking, or scooters. It provides a full time breakdown for every part of your trip. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` I need to get to the airport from downtown by 10 AM tomorrow using the train. What's the best way? ``` **Response:** ``` I'll find the best train options for you, including departure times and any necessary transfers. Here is the plan: **Option 1: Express Train (Fastest)** * **Departure:** 9:15 AM from Central Station * **Duration:** 35 minutes * **Transfers:** 0 **Option 2: Local Train (Cheaper)** * **Departure:** 9:30 AM from Union Station * **Duration:** 50 minutes * **Transfers:** 1 I can provide step-by-step walking directions for either of these! ``` **Prompt:** ``` Are there any buses arriving at the Union Station in the next 15 minutes? ``` **Response:** ``` Checking the live schedule for Union Station now... **Upcoming Departures:** * **Bus 42 (Downtown):** 2 minutes (Arriving now) * **Bus 109 (Northside):** 8 minutes * **Bus 12 (Airport Express):** 14 minutes Would you like me to find a different route or check another station? ``` **Prompt:** ``` I want to go to the park, but I want to bike for the first half and then take a tram. Can you plan that? ``` **Response:** ``` I've put together a multimodal journey for you that combines cycling and transit: **Your Route:** 1. **Cycle:** 1.2 miles to the Westside Tram Stop (approx. 6 mins) 2. **Tram:** Take the Green Line toward Riverside (approx. 15 mins) 3. **Walk:** 0.3 miles to the Park Entrance (approx. 3 mins) **Total Trip Time:** 24 minutes **Total Distance:** 3.5 miles ``` ## Capabilities ### Plan multi-step transit routes Get a full itinerary including transfers and walking segments between two points. ### Check live transit schedules See exactly when the next bus, train, or subway is arriving at your stop. ### Locate nearby stations Find transit stops by name or by your current GPS coordinates. ### Build multimodal journeys Combine public transit with walking, cycling, or scooter rides in one plan. ### Review station amenities Check for accessibility features and specific facilities at any transit stop. ### Get step-by-step directions Receive detailed instructions for every leg of a complex transit journey. ## Use Cases ### Navigating a new city without a car A tourist asks for a route from their hotel to a museum using only trains and walking. The agent uses discover_trips to build the itinerary. ### Checking real-time arrivals A commuter asks what time the next bus arrives at Union Station. The agent uses get_schedule to provide a live update. ### Planning a multimodal commute A worker wants to bike to a train station and then take a tram. The agent uses search_multimodal_trips to map the full journey. ### Finding accessible stops A traveler needs to find a subway station with an elevator. The agent uses get_station_details to verify the facilities. ## Benefits - Skip the app switching by getting transit routes, walking paths, and scooter options in one response. - Get live updates on bus and train arrivals using get_schedule so you're never left waiting at a stop. - Plan complex journeys across different modes of transport with search_multimodal_trips for a smoother trip. - Find the right stop quickly using get_stations_by_name when you don't have exact coordinates handy. - Check station facilities and accessibility features with get_station_details before you head out. - View full step-by-step directions with get_route_details to see every transfer and walking segment clearly. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a complete, real-time transit plan without switching apps. 1.
