Busbud

Search and compare bus, train, shuttle, and ferry schedules worldwide with comprehensive filters and transparent pricing. Results render in a rich, list view showing origin and destination stop as well as departure time, trip duration and price in the currency of the user's choice for side-by-side comparison. Autoset guidance (server-side, case-insensitive intent detection): - Origin/Destination: ALWAYS disambiguate ambiguous locations (YOU MUST provide uniquely identifiable locations or airport codes). Always specify city name with state/province/region and country: Examples: "Paris" → clarify "Paris, TX, USA" vs "Paris, TN, USA" vs "Paris, Ile-de-France, France" "London" → clarify "London, England, United Kingdom" vs "London, ON, Canada" CRITICAL TEMPORAL RULES: - If current date is after requested date → prompt the user to use a date in the future - If requested month is before current month → use NEXT year - If today is 2025-12-15 and user asks "trips in January" → use 2026-01-01 - For relative dates: "next week" → add 7 days, "next month" → add 1 month - When ambiguous, default to the NEAREST FUTURE occurrence that satisfies constraints Examples (intent → autosets) - "Paris to London on June 1st 2026" -> origin_name="Paris, France" destination_name="London, UK" departure_date="2026-06-01" - "Montreal to London on January 1st 2026" -> origin_name="Montreal, QC, Canada" destination_name="London, ON, Canada" departure_date="2026-01-01" Filtering - Modality filter: "Show me only train results" -> vehicle_types=["train"] - Modality filter: "Bus only" / "I want bus tickets" -> vehicle_types=["bus"] (use ["bus","shuttle","van"] for bus-like vehicles) - Modality filter: "Train and ferry" -> vehicle_types=["train","ferry"] - Time filter (times in departure's local timezone): "Departures before 3pm" -> departure_before="15:00" - Time filter: "Departures after 8am" / "Morning departures" -> departure_after="08:00" - Time filter: "Between 9am and 5pm" -> departure_after="09:00" departure_before="17:00" - Arrival filter (times in arrival/destination's local timezone): "Arrive before 6pm" -> arrival_before="18:00" - Arrival filter: "Arrive after noon" -> arrival_after="12:00" - Arrival filter: "Arrive between 2pm and 8pm" -> arrival_after="14:00" arrival_before="20:00" - Arrival filter for overnight trips: "Leaving after 1pm, arriving before 8am the next day" -> departure_after="13:00" arrival_before="08:00" arrival_date="YYYY-MM-DD" (next day) - Passenger count: "2 passengers" / "for 2 people" / "2 tickets" -> passenger_count=2 - Conversation language: when the language of the conversation can be detected, set conversation_language to their language (ISO 639-1, e.g. "fr", "de") or locale (e.g. "fr-CA") so labels and copy match the conversation. Use the user's browsing location to determine the locale. Example: "fr-CA" if the latest message in the conversation is in french and the user browsing from Canada. "es-us" if the latest message in the conversation is in spanish and the user browsing from the United States.
