Short answer

How can I get live transit times through my AI?

Your agent uses HERE Mobility to find nearby stations and pull live arrival or departure data for specific stops. You'll get exact timing for your next ride directly in your chat interface.

Transit outcomes

What you get from your agent

The data your agent pulls from HERE Mobility leads to these outcomes.

TRACKING

Live arrival times

The agent fetches specific departure data for a station. You get the exact minute a bus or train is expected to arrive.

LOCATION

Find nearby stops

Your agent identifies transit stations in your immediate vicinity. This helps you find the closest way to start your trip.

PLANNING

Trip timing

By pulling schedules, your agent helps you decide when to leave your house or office. It handles the math on transit windows.

HUMAN

Manual route changes

The agent provides the data, but you decide which route to take. You remain in control of the actual travel decisions.

FAQ

    No. The agent only pulls schedule and station data. You have to book your ride through your preferred transit app or service.

    Does the AI know my exact GPS location?

    The agent uses the location data you provide or your client's current context to find nearby stations.

  • 03

    Can the AI change my transit route?

    No. The agent provides the available schedules, but you must choose which route to follow.

  • 04

    How real-time is the schedule data?

    The agent pulls live data from HERE Mobility, so it reflects the most current arrival and departure times available.
