Next Bus Bot

A bot/ cli tool that simply gives you the waiting times for next buses at your favorite bus stop.

It works only for the IDFM/RATP Network, relying on the api lines/v4. For now only a handfull of bus stops on the Plateau de Saclay are registered, but you can add your own

Warning

I am not responsible if you arrive late at your work. For serious travel planning, use your favorite app.

Example

$ nbb mdv
Next buses at Mare du Vivier:
- ⏰  6 min. (12:29)  9️⃣ 🚍 ▶ Centre Commercial Ulis 2
- ⏰ 27 min. (12:50)  9️⃣ 🚍 ▶ Gare de Jouy en Josas
- ⏰ 35 min. (12:58)  9️⃣ 🚍 ▶ Centre Commercial Ulis 2
- ⏰ 53 min. (13:16)  9️⃣ 🚍 ▶ Christ de Saclay

Installation

Pip Installation

$ pip install next-bus-bot

Developer Installation

  1. clone the repo

    $ git clone git@github.com:paquiteau/nbb/
    
  2. create your venv with your favorite tool

  3. Install locally the package with bells and whistles

TODO

  • automatic aliasing of stops (based on initials)
  • support for direction filtering
  • Add support for a bot front-end (slack, discord, IRC, etc).
  • Extend the useful bus stops.

Configuration

nbb can be configured via its command line argument, or via a config file nbb_conf.toml, it uses TOML https://toml.io/en/ syntax formatting. Suitable location for the config file are, loaded in this order:

  1. nbb/nbb_conf.toml
  2. ~/.config/nbb_conf.toml
  3. nbb_conf.toml in current directory.
  4. nbb --config <file>

An example (and default) config file is available in nbb/nbb_conf, and a example config is:

[cli]
# Default parameters for the CLI
pretty = true     # Emoji in the terminal
compact = false    # More condensed output
verbose = false    # More verbose output, only for debugging.

[stop.places]
# List of bus stops, with their name and their ID
# You can find the ID of a stop by looking at the URL of the stop on the IDFM website
# https://data.iledefrance-mobilites.fr/explore/dataset/zones-de-correspondance/custom/?disjunctive.zdctype

# The name of the step as a key does not matter,
# it should only be consistent between the stops, stops.aliases and stop.directions sections.
#
# The first stop defined is the default one.

[stop.aliases]
# Aliases for the stops defined in stop.places
"Mare du Vivier" = ["CEA Porte Sud", "Neurospin", "nsp", "mdv"]
"Moulon" = ["ens"]
"Raoul Dautry" = ["CEA Porte Est"]
"Place Marguerite Perey" = ["Inria"]


[stop.direction_filter]
# Direction filter for the stops defined in stop.places.

# For each stop you can filter the direction
"Mare du Vivier" = ["Gare du Guichet", "Centre Commercial Ulis 2"]      # Only keep the buses that have either 'gare du guichet'  or  'Centre commercial ulis2' as destination.
"Moulon" = ["Gare du Guichet", "Centre Commercial Ulis 2"]      # Only keep the gare du guichet  and Centre commercial ulis2
