Shared trip planning function

Define a shared function that calls `plan_trip`. This tool combines public transport methods—bus, train, subway, tram, ferry—with walking and cycling. Your whole team gets access to the structured output: multiple options, total duration, and step-by-step instructions.

Checking real-time schedules

Need to know if a route is delayed? Use `get_arrivals` or `get_departures`. These tools check the current schedule against estimated times for any given stop ID. This ensures your team's status dashboards always reflect accurate, live data.

Validating transit infrastructure

Before committing code that relies on a specific location, use `get_stop_details` to check facility capabilities for any stop ID. You can also verify system availability across different areas using `get_regions`, ensuring the whole team builds against known coverage.
