BusRouteJS

A JS rewrite of bus route finder.

Currently in preliminary development, so everything is subject to change without notice.

Demo

There's a demo here. You have to turn on touch event emulation on Chrome to access the modal screens.

Install

Clone the repo and run npm install.

API

Creating a new Router object and calling .findRoutes(from, to) where from is the source place ID and to is the destination place ID (both integers) will return an array of Javascript objects like this:

var router = new Router();
router.findRoutes(252, 235);

[
	{
		"from":"252",
		"routes":[
			{"routes":["1","2","4","5","6","19","20"],"distance":4144},
			{"routes":["26"],"distance":3347}
		],
		"changes":["53"],
		"to":"235",
		"distance":7491
	},
	{
		"from":"252",
		"routes":[
			{"routes":["1","2","4","5","6","19","20"],"distance":12324},
			{"routes":["12","13","14"],"distance":6661}
		],
		"changes":["39"],
		"to":"235",
		"distance":18985
	},
	{
		"from":"252",
		"routes":[
			{"routes":["1","2","4","5","6","19","20"],"distance":12936},
			{"routes":["12","13","14"],"distance":7273}
		],
		"changes":["38"],
		"to":"235",
		"distance":20209
	},
	...
]

The biggest improvement over the last (PHP) version is that it now handles similar (almost duplicate, but alternate - like Kottawa/Pettah and Homagama/Pettah) routes gracefully, and runs completely on the clientside, with big popping Google Maps to boot.
