The unofficial STM CLI client.
stmcli aims to use the data made available by the Société de transport de Montréal to create an easy to use command line application to access bus/metro informations.
pip3 install stmcli
(stmcli is only compatible with python3+)
usage: stmcli [-h] [-b BUS_NUMBER] [-s BUS_STOP_CODE] [-n NUMBER_DEPARTURE]
[-d DATE] [-t TIME] [-m METRO] [-y]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-b BUS_NUMBER, --bus-number BUS_NUMBER
# of the bus
-s BUS_STOP_CODE, --bus-stop-code BUS_STOP_CODE
Code of the bus stop
-n NUMBER_DEPARTURE, --number-departure NUMBER_DEPARTURE
The number of departures to print. Only works with
both -b and -s specified
-d DATE, --date DATE specify the date to use when getting Departure times.
Format: aaaammjj
-t TIME, --time TIME specify the time to use when getting Departure times.
Format: HH:MM
-m METRO, --metro METRO
print the metro status for a given line require an
internet connection. Accepted options: green, orange,
yellow, blue and all
-y, --force-update Do not ask before updating
To get the next departures times you need to specify at least -b and -s which are the bus number and the bus stop code.
For example: stmcli -b 150 -s 52150
would print the next 10 departures times of the bus "150 René-Lévesque EST" at the "du Sussex / René-Lévesque (52150)" bus stop.
If you don't know your bus stop code or your bus number you can specify only -b or -s. specifying only -b will print all of the bus stop and -s alone will print all bus number for this stop code.
By using the -d and/or the -t arguments you can get bus departures times from sometime in the future.
For example: stmcli -b 150 -s 52150 -d 20160328 -t 06:30
Would print almost the same thing as our first example The only exception is that it will print the 10 next departures after 6:30 AM on march 28th 2016.
You can also get the current status of the metro with -m.
For example: stmcli -m green will give you the current status of the green line.
