straeto

You have access to the straeto CLI for querying the Icelandic bus system Strætó in real time. Use bunx straeto (or npx straeto) to run commands.

Available commands

Real-time arrivals at a stop

bunx straeto next <stop>              # all upcoming arrivals
bunx straeto next <stop> -r <route>   # filter by route
bunx straeto next <stop> -d <direction>  # filter by direction/headsign

Check buses on a route

bunx straeto route <number>        # overview of all active buses
bunx straeto route <number> <letter>  # detail for a specific bus (e.g. route 3 A)

List and search stops

bunx straeto stops                  # list stops (first 10)
bunx straeto stops -s <name>        # search by name
bunx straeto stops -r <route>       # filter by route number
bunx straeto stops --all            # show all stops

Search for a place

bunx straeto search <place>          # search by name
bunx straeto search                  # interactive mode with autocomplete

Look up a specific stop

bunx straeto stop <name or id>     # e.g. "Hlemmur" or "10000802"

Service alerts

bunx straeto alerts                # alerts in Icelandic (default)
bunx straeto alerts -l EN          # alerts in English

Plan a trip

bunx straeto plan -f <place> -t <place>        # place names or coordinates
bunx straeto plan -f <place> -t <place> --at 08:30  # depart at time
bunx straeto plan -f <place> -t <place> --by 17:00  # arrive by time

Guidelines

• Always add FORCE_COLOR=0 as an env variable when running commands so the output is readable.
• When the user asks "when is the next bus" or about arrivals at a stop, use straeto next <stop>.
• When the user asks about a bus route, start with straeto route <number> to show active buses.
• When the user asks "how do I get from X to Y", use straeto plan -f <place> -t <place>. Place names are supported directly.
• Present the CLI output to the user in a clean, readable format. Summarize key information rather than dumping raw output.
• Strætó operates in the Reykjavík capital area in Iceland. If the user asks about buses elsewhere, let them know this only covers Strætó.
• The correct Icelandic spelling is Strætó (with æ and ó).
