Before you connect

Questions about LA Metro.

The practical details behind the request, access and result.

Can the LA Metro MCP track buses in real-time?

Yes, it provides live GPS locations for all active buses, including their heading and predictability indicators.

How do I use the LA Metro MCP to plan a trip?

You can ask your agent to plan a rail-to-rail journey between any two stations to get step-by-step directions and transfer info.

Does the LA Metro MCP show service alerts?

Yes, it monitors all rail and bus disruptions, including maintenance, incidents, and weather-related alerts.

Can I use the LA Metro MCP to see train arrivals?

Yes, it provides minute-by-minute predictions for trains at specific stations, including line colors and destinations.

Is the LA Metro MCP good for tourists?

It is excellent for tourists because it can discover rail stations and plan rail-only journeys across the city.

Can the LA Metro MCP show me all bus routes?

Yes, it can list every local, rapid, and express bus route in the LA Metro system to help you find the right line.

How does the LA Metro MCP handle rail-to-rail transfers?

It identifies the best transfer stations, estimated travel times, and the specific sequence of lines you need to take.

Can my AI check when the next Metrobus is arriving at a specific stop in LA?

Yes! First use get_bus_stops with a route_id to find the stop ID for your location. Then use get_stop_predictions with that stop ID to get real-time arrival predictions in minutes and seconds, including route numbers, direction, and whether the bus is departing soon. This gives you live predictions based on actual vehicle GPS positions and schedule adherence.

How do I plan a Metro Rail journey from one station to another?

Use get_rail_stations first to find the station IDs for your origin and destination. Then use get_rail_to_rail with both station IDs to get the recommended rail route with transfer stations, estimated travel time, number of transfers, and step-by-step directions. You can also use get_rail_arrivals at your origin station to see when the next trains are coming.

Are there any service disruptions affecting Metro Rail or Metrobus right now?

Use get_service_alerts to check all active service disruptions across the LA Metro system. This returns alerts with affected routes and stations, disruption descriptions, severity levels, cause types (maintenance, incident, weather, special events), start and end times, and alternative service recommendations. Check this before planning any journey to ensure you are aware of delays or service changes.
