ScheduleTime

Date and time (UTC) when the bus is scheduled to stop at this location.

DirectionNum

RouteID

TripDirectionText

General direction of the trip (e.g.: NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST).

Destination of the bus.

Trip identifier. This can be correlated with the data in our bus schedule information as well as bus positions.

Subscription key which provides access to this API. Defaults Sys.getenv("WMATA_KEY") via wmata_key().
