trip(id, lineName, [opt])

This method can be used to refetch information about a trip – a vehicle stopping at a set of stops at specific times.

Note: This method is not supported by every profile/endpoint.

Let's say you used journeys and now want to get more up-to-date data about the arrival/departure of a leg. You'd pass in the trip ID from leg.tripId, e.g. '1|24983|22|86|18062017', and the name of the line from leg.line.name like this:

const createClient = require('hafas-client')
const vbbProfile = require('hafas-client/p/vbb')

const userAgent = 'link-to-your-project-or-email' // adapt this to your project!
const client = createClient(vbbProfile, userAgent)

// Hauptbahnhof to Heinrich-Heine-Str.
client.journeys('900000003201', '900000100008', {results: 1})
.then(([journey]) => {
	const leg = journey.legs[0]
	return client.trip(leg.tripId, leg.line.name)
})
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.error)

With opt, you can override the default options, which look like this:

{
	stopovers: true, // return stations on the way?
	polyline: false, // return a shape for the trip?
	subStops: true, // parse & expose sub-stops of stations?
	entrances: true, // parse & expose entrances of stops/stations?
	remarks: true, // parse & expose hints & warnings?
	language: 'en' // language to get results in
}

Response

Note: As stated in the Friendly Public Transport Format v2 draft spec, the returned departure and arrival times include the current delay. The departureDelay/arrivalDelay fields express how much they differ from the schedule.

As an example, we're going to use the VBB profile:

const createClient = require('hafas-client')
const vbbProfile = require('hafas-client/p/vbb')

const client = createClient(vbbProfile)

client.trip('1|31431|28|86|17122017', 'S9', {when: 1513534689273})
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.error)

The response looked like this:

}

polyline option

If you pass polyline: true, the trip will have a polyline field, containing a GeoJSON FeatureCollection of Points. Every Point next to a station will have properties containing the station's metadata.

We'll look at an example for U6 from Alt-Mariendorf to Alt-Tegel, taken from the VBB profile:

{
	type: 'FeatureCollection',
	features: [
		{
			type: 'Feature',
			properties: {
				type: 'station',
				id: '900000070301',
				name: 'U Alt-Mariendorf',
				/* … */
			},
			geometry: {
				type: 'Point',
				coordinates: [13.3875, 52.43993] // longitude, latitude
			}
		},
		/* … */
		{
			type: 'Feature',
			properties: {
				type: 'station',
				id: '900000017101',
				name: 'U Mehringdamm',
				/* … */
			},
			geometry: {
				type: 'Point',
				coordinates: [13.38892, 52.49448] // longitude, latitude
			}
		},
		/* … */
		{
			// intermediate point, without associated station
			type: 'Feature',
			properties: {},
			geometry: {
				type: 'Point',
				coordinates: [13.28599, 52.58742] // longitude, latitude
			}
		},
		{
			type: 'Feature',
			properties: {
				type: 'station',
				id: '900000089301',
				name: 'U Alt-Tegel',
				/* … */
			},
			geometry: {
				type: 'Point',
				coordinates: [13.28406, 52.58915] // longitude, latitude
			}
		}
	]
