dart's Introduction

DART

The DART is a train system in Dublin (Dublin Area Rapid Transit)

It has an API, and so this is a script for judging when to leave for the DART.

It will tell you the next few trains, their destination, departure time, and when you should leave your current location to catch them.

Note that the Google API only works with your own API Key!

usage: dart.py [-h] (-n | -s) [-w WALK_TIME] departure_station

positional arguments:
  departure_station     The departure station

optional arguments:
