REST API - Trips

Contents

Trips are trips.txt entities imported from GTFS, and include the same basic structure and fields, plus some additional metadata.

Trip responses include their associated shape, calendar, frequency, and stop departure information; these entities do not have stand-alone endpoints.

Request overview

Trips must be accessed through a route; either a route ID or Onestop ID may be used.

Stop time information is only available when requesting a single trip by ID.

To instead see all departures from a given stop, use the stops departures endpoint.

Shapes are included when accessing a single trip, requesting geojson format, or with include_geometry=true.

Trips scheduled to run on a particular date can be selected using the service_date parameter, a date in YYYY-MM-DD format.

The trip API returns "active" feed versions unless requesting a specific feed version.

Trip API results are based on this GraphQL query.
