Wiener Linien Skill

A skill for querying Vienna's public transport (Wiener Linien) real-time data including departures, disruptions, and elevator status.

Overview

This skill provides tools to access Wiener Linien's real-time API for:

• Real-time departures at any stop
• Service disruptions (short-term and long-term)
• Elevator outages at U-Bahn stations
• Stop search by name to find RBL stop IDs

Scripts

search-stop.sh - Find Stop IDs

Search for stops by name to get their RBL (stop) IDs needed for departure queries.

./search-stop.sh stephansplatz
./search-stop.sh kagran

departures.sh - Real-Time Departures

Get next departures from one or more stops. Supports multiple stop IDs for stations with multiple platforms.

./departures.sh 252              # Single stop
./departures.sh 252 4116 4119    # Multiple platforms (Stephansplatz)

disruptions.sh - Service Disruptions

Get current disruptions, optionally filtered by line.

./disruptions.sh                 # All disruptions
./disruptions.sh U1 U3           # Only U1 and U3
./disruptions.sh 27A             # Specific bus line

elevators.sh - Elevator Outages

Get elevator outages at stations, optionally filtered by line.

./elevators.sh                   # All elevator outages
./elevators.sh U6                # U6 stations only
