FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change the bus route?

    No. The AI only reads live transit data; it cannot interact with or change transit schedules or routes.

  • 02

    Does the AI buy transit tickets?

    No. This MCP is for monitoring vehicle positions and arrival times only.

  • 03

    How accurate is the vehicle location?

    The accuracy depends on the real-time GPS data provided by the transit authority's feed.

  • 04

    Can I track a specific driver?

    No. The tools only provide data for vehicles, not individual staff or drivers.

  • 05

    Will the AI alert me if a bus is late?

    The AI can tell you the current status and arrival times, but it does not send proactive push notifications or alerts unless you ask it for an update.
