GetPlannedTripsByLatLon

Get's a list of possible itineraries based on an origin and destination latitude and longitude.

Remarks

The results provide up to three itineraries for completing the requested trip. Each itinerary contains legs which can either contain walk or service objects. Walk objects indicate a leg of the trip that will require walking. A service object indicates a leg of the trip that will require bus service.

There can be multiple service objects in a leg. This indicates an interline (i.e. A bus starts out as one route and switches to another) and means the passenger should stay on the bus! In this case both lines will show up as services on the same leg.

Although this method will accept any valid latitude/longitude coordinates it will only return meaningful results for coordinates near our service area.

If itineraries list is empty (e.g. there's no service at the time specified), you can use msg to get more details.
