    Description, as the server wrote it
    Plans bus and metro journeys between two places in one city network. Returns the first journey leaving at or after the departure time as numbered steps with boarding stops, changes, walking, times and fare, a link that opens it in PakBus, and up to two later departures on one line. Apps that show interactive views also get a map of the journey.
