Server instructions

busmaps Transit API: global routing, stops, real-time departures, live vehicles, pedestrian routing and geocoding. This is a PUBLIC demo server: no API key is required - just connect and call the tools. The server uses a shared demo key with modest rate limits over busmaps.com data. For your own app, get a free key and call the REST API at https://capi.busmaps.com:8443 directly. To understand the API and build an app, FIRST read the resource busmaps://start-here (overview, critical gotchas, how to build an app), then busmaps://recipes (ready-made screen recipes). For a tool's exact response shape read busmaps://schema/<tool_name>. Coordinates are lat,lon EXCEPT pedestrian routing which uses lon,lat.
