The `nextbus` sensor will give you the next departure time and associated data from your public transit station/stop. The data comes from [NextBus](https://www.nextbus.com), which provides real time transit data for a number of transit authorities.
|
|
|
|
It is possible to get the tag information from the NextBus website.
|
|
|
|
1. Visit https://www.nextbus.com/
|
|
2. Use the drop downs to select the transit system, route, direction, and stop
|
|
3. Extract the tags from the URL. It is constructed with the following pattern:
|
|
|
|
https://www.nextbus.com/#!/<agency>/<route>/<direction>/<stop>
|
|
|
|
If tags are incorrect, valid ones will be displayed in the logs as a convenience. Note that the `<direction>` tag is not used in this integration.
