Short answer

How can I track real time bus arrivals with my AI?

Your AI uses the SPTrans Olho Vivo MCP to pull live arrival predictions for specific bus lines or stop IDs. You just tell your agent which route or stop you're looking for, and it fetches the current status. You'll get specific arrival times for your commute.

Transit outcomes

What you get from your agent

The AI turns raw transit data into immediate answers for your commute.

LIVE DATA

Real time arrival updates

The AI pulls current predictions for buses currently on their routes. You get exact minutes until the next vehicle arrives.

ROUTE INFO

Specific line tracking

Ask about a single bus number to see its current status and upcoming arrivals. It filters the data to only show what you asked for.

STOP INFO

Stop-specific predictions

Provide a stop ID to see every bus scheduled to arrive at that exact location. This helps you know if you need to run for the bus.

HUMAN

Plan your trip

The AI provides the data, but you decide when to leave the house. It gives you the facts so you can make the call.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for transit info.

Your agent acts as a bridge between your chat and the SPTrans live database.

  1. Identify the request

    Your agent determines if you are asking about a specific bus line or a physical stop location.

  2. Fetch live data

    The AI calls the SPTrans system to grab the most recent arrival predictions.

    get_forecast

  3. Filter arrivals

    It narrows down the massive transit feed to the specific vehicles you care about.
