Supports buses, trains, trams, subways, and ferries across European transit networks. Essential for passenger information displays, departure boards, travel apps, and real-time transit monitoring. AI agents should reference this when users ask "when is the next bus from stop X", "show departures from this station", or need to monitor upcoming services at a known transit stop. Get next departures from a specific transit stop

  3. 03

    Get line info

    Returns line name, number, type (bus, train, tram, subway, ferry), operator, color code, route description, service hours, frequency, and accessibility information. Essential for line identification, transit network exploration, service information queries, and route planning context. AI agents should reference this when users ask "tell me about line M1", "what operator runs bus line 42", or need line metadata to understand transit service characteristics. Get information about a specific transit line

  4. 04

    Get line routes

    Returns route variants (e.g., direction A and B), complete stop sequences with order, scheduled frequencies, first and last service times, and any service variations (express vs. local, peak vs. off-peak). Essential for complete line visualization, stop sequence analysis, transit mapping, and understanding service patterns. AI agents use this when users ask "show me all stops on line X", "what is the full route of bus 42", or need to understand complete service patterns for a transit line.

    Returns active service disruptions, planned works, line closures, delay information, weather impacts, strike notifications, and alternative service recommendations. Essential for real-time service monitoring, disruption awareness, passenger communication, and travel planning during service changes. AI agents should reference this when users ask "are there any disruptions on SNCF trains", "is the Berlin U-Bahn running normally", or need to check service reliability before planning trips. Get current network status and service alerts for a transit operator

  3. 11

    Get stop info

    Returns stop name, location (latitude, longitude, address), served lines and routes, stop type (bus stop, train station, tram stop, subway station, ferry terminal), operator information, accessibility features (wheelchair access, elevators), and available amenities. Essential for stop identification, accessibility planning, transit network analysis, and passenger information. AI agents should use this when users ask "tell me about this stop", "what lines serve stop X", or need detailed stop metadata to contextualize transit queries. Get detailed information about a specific transit stop

  4. 12

    Search stops

    Returns matching stops with stop IDs, names, locations (latitude, longitude), served lines, operators, and stop types. Essential for stop discovery, journey planning interfaces, transit stop identification, and building location-based transit features.

FAQ

Questions Lyko owners ask.

  • 01

    Can my AI plan a complete multimodal trip from my hotel to a tourist attraction using public transit?

    Yes! Use the plan_trip capability with your hotel address or name as the origin and the tourist attraction as the destination. The Lyko routing engine will return complete door-to-door itineraries combining buses, trains, subways, trams, and walking segments with departure times, arrival times, total duration, number of transfers, line names, operators, walking distances, and real-time delay information. You can also specify preferred transport modes or a desired departure time. Perfect for tourist planning, business travel, and navigating unfamiliar European cities.

  • 02

    How do I check real-time departures and arrivals at a specific train station or bus stop?

    First, use search_stops to find the stop by name (e.g., "Gare du Nord" or "Alexanderplatz"). Once you have the stop ID, use get_departures to see upcoming services with ETAs, platforms, and delay indicators, or get_arrivals to track incoming services. The results include line names, destinations, scheduled vs. real-time times, and operator information. This is perfect for passenger pickup coordination, connection planning, and monitoring service reliability.

  • 03

    Can I check if there are any service disruptions or strikes affecting transit operators in France or Germany?

    Absolutely! Use get_operators with the country filter (e.g., "FR" for France, "DE" for Germany) to list all available operators, then use get_network_status with the operator ID (e.g., "sncf" for SNCF, "db" for Deutsche Bahn) to check current service disruptions, planned works, strike notifications, weather impacts, and line closures. This gives you real-time awareness of transit reliability across 300+ European operators. AI agents can proactively alert travelers to service issues before trip planning.
