Live Transit API/API

The RideOn Live Transit API Web services provide information about Montgomery County transit system routes, stops and schedules as well as vehicle locations and estimated arrival times in near real-time.

The Web service resources are described below. Dynamic resources refer to Web services that provide real time information about the system. Transit System Web services provide:
 * Associations between routes, trips and stops
 * Time schedules
 * Extended information such as geographic location

The Live Transit API requires you supply an authentication token with each call.
 * You may obtain a token by registering here.
 * The token value is currently provided by the user as a query parameter named "auth_token".
 * Example url: http://rideonrealtime.net/stops/21884?auth_token=my_token_goes_here

The API Web services serialize content using JSON format by default. The same content may be serialized to XML by appending ".xml" to the end of the resource. For example, http://rideonrealtime.net/stops/21884 will provide information for Stop code 3508 in JSON, while http://rideonrealtime.net/stops/21884.xml will return the same in XML.
