SiriProxy-NextBus

NextBus provides up to the minute bus routing information. See the list of all transit systems with next bus

http://www.nextbus.com/predictor/agencySelector.jsp

This plugin is defined so that you specify the transit system as well as routes, stops and direction in your config.yml file. You also specify which regular expressions you want to use to match the incoming text

To get the location, route, stop and direction you will need to look at the URL used when you are getting the "bookmarkable" version of the next bus chage for the stop you are interested in. For example from

http://www.nextbus.com/predictor/fancyBookmarkablePredictionLayer.shtml?a=chapel-hill&r=NS&d=S&s=airpwest_s&ts=airprigg_s

Here we have:

• a=chapel-hill, to set our location to chapel-hill
• r=NS, this is our route, the NS
• s=airpwest_s, this is our stop
• d=S, this is our direction
