# Malaysia Transit Tracker — Live Bus Positions (`jaafahmy/transit-tracker`) Actor Real-time bus tracking for Rapid KL, Rapid Penang, and Rapid Kuantan. Uses Malaysia's official GTFS-RT feed from data.gov.my. Returns live vehicle positions with route IDs, GPS coordinates, speed, bearing, and license plates. Filter by GPS location to find buses near you. - **URL**: https://apify.com/jaafahmy/transit-tracker.md - **Developed by:** [uzi](https://apify.com/jaafahmy) (community) - **Categories:** Travel, Automation - **Stats:** 2 total users, 0 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing Pay per usage This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## 🚌 Malaysia Transit Tracker — Live Bus Positions Real-time bus tracking for **Rapid KL, Rapid Penang, and Rapid Kuantan** using Malaysia's official **GTFS-RT** feed from [data.gov.my](https://data.gov.my). ### What it does - Fetches live vehicle positions from Prasarana's GTFS-Realtime feed - Returns **GPS coordinates, route IDs, speed, bearing, license plates**, and more - Filter by **GPS location** to find buses within a radius (e.g., 5km from your location) - Works with Rapid KL, Rapid Penang, and Rapid Kuantan bus services ### Data source Official Malaysian government open data: `https://api.data.gov.my/gtfs-realtime/vehicle-position/prasarana` > ⚠️ **Time-dependent**: Buses only transmit positions during operating hours (~6am–11pm MYT). At night the feed will be empty. ### Input | Field | Description | Default | |---|---|---| | `categories` | Bus services to track | `["rapid-bus-kl"]` | | `lat` | GPS latitude filter (optional) | — | | `lon` | GPS longitude filter (optional) | — | | `radiusKm` | Search radius in km | 5 | | `maxVehicles` | Max vehicles to return | 100 | ### Output Each vehicle returns: ```json { "routeId": "T821", "tripId": "T821_20260705_1400", "latitude": 3.157500, "longitude": 101.712000, "speed": 8.5, "bearing": 270, "licensePlate": "WXY1234", "vehicleId": "bus_456", "currentStatus": "IN_TRANSIT_TO", "stopId": "stop_123", "category": "rapid-bus-kl", "congestionLevel": "RUNNING_SMOOTHLY", "timestamp": 1783275000 } ```` ### Use cases - **Live bus tracking app** — show buses on a map in real-time - **Arrival time estimation** — calculate when a bus will reach your stop - **Traffic analysis** — monitor congestion levels across routes - **Fleet management** — track Prasarana bus fleet ### Pricing This Actor uses **pay-per-event** pricing. You're charged per vehicle position returned. # Actor input Schema ## `includeRapidKL` (type: `boolean`): Track Rapid KL buses (Kuala Lumpur). ## `includeRapidPenang` (type: `boolean`): Track Rapid Penang buses. ## `includeRapidKuantan` (type: `boolean`): Track Rapid Kuantan buses. ## `lat` (type: `number`): GPS latitude to filter nearby buses. Leave empty for all buses. ## `lon` (type: `number`): GPS longitude to filter nearby buses. Must be used with latitude. ## `radiusKm` (type: `number`): Only return buses within this distance of the GPS point. ## `maxVehicles` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of vehicles to return. ## Actor input object example ```json { "includeRapidKL": true, "includeRapidPenang": false, "includeRapidKuantan": false, "radiusKm": 5, "maxVehicles": 100 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("jaafahmy/transit-tracker").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
