## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## Philippines Transit Scraper — Ferries, PNR, MRT, LRT, PITX Bus

Scrape Philippines transit schedules and fares across all modes via the 12go.asia aggregator. Returns operator name, service type, departure and arrival times, duration, cabin classes, and fares in Philippine Pesos (PHP).

### What it scrapes

- **Inter-island ferries** — 2GO Travel (Manila–Cebu 22hr overnight), Montenegro Shipping, Oceanjet, FastCat, Starlite, and other Philippine ferry operators. Includes vessel type (ROPAX, fast craft, catamaran), cabin classes (Economy, Tourist, Cabin, Suite), and RORO vehicle fares.
- **Metro Manila rail** — MRT-3, LRT-1, LRT-2, and PNR (Philippine National Railways) schedules.
- **Intercity bus** — PITX (Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange) provincial routes and other bus operators.
- **Domestic flights** — Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines, AirAsia Philippines schedules between any two Philippine cities.

### Input

| Field | Description | Default |
|-------|-------------|---------|
| `origin` | Origin port, station, or city (e.g. "Manila", "Cebu", "Batangas") | Required |
| `destination` | Destination port, station, or city | Required |
| `operator` | Mode filter: `any`, `ferry`, `rail_metro`, `bus_intercity`, `cebu_pacific` | `any` |
| `date` | Travel date in YYYY-MM-DD format (omit for all upcoming schedules) | Optional |
| `includeRORO` | Include RORO vehicle pricing in results | `true` |
| `cabinClass` | Minimum cabin class filter for ferries | `any` |
| `maxItems` | Maximum number of results to return | `50` |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Proxy settings (Philippine residential proxy recommended) | PH residential |

### Output

Each record includes:

- `service_id` — Unique service identifier
- `operator` — Carrier name (2GO Travel, Oceanjet, Cebu Pacific, etc.)
- `service_type` — `roro_ferry`, `fast_ferry`, `passenger_ferry`, `commuter_rail`, `mrt`, `lrt`, `bus_intercity`, `domestic_flight`
- `route_name` — Marketed route name
- `origin_port` / `destination_port` — Port, station, or airport name
- `departure_time` / `arrival_time` — Scheduled times
- `duration_minutes` — Total journey duration
- `vessel_type` — ROPAX, fast craft, catamaran (ferry only)
- `cabin_classes` — Available cabin classes with features
- `cheapest_fare_php` — Cheapest available fare in PHP
- `vehicle_fare_php` — RORO vehicle (5m passenger car) fare in PHP
- `motorcycle_fare_php` — Motorcycle RORO fare in PHP
- `bus_type` — Bus class (Ordinary, Aircon, Deluxe, Executive, Sleeper)
- `line` — Metro line (MRT-3, LRT-1, LRT-2, PNR)
- `amenities` — Amenity list

### Example use cases

- **Travel apps** — Island-hopping route planning for Cebu, Bohol, Palawan
- **Logistics** — RORO freight capacity and vehicle fare comparison
- **Tourism platforms** — Automated schedule updates for Visayas/Mindanao routes
- **Data aggregators** — Philippine domestic transport data feeds

### Notes

- Data is sourced from 12go.asia, which aggregates Philippine ferry, rail, bus, and flight schedules in real time.
- Fares are displayed in PHP when using a Philippine residential proxy (default).
- The 12go.asia platform uses AWS WAF — residential proxy is required for reliable scraping.
- Rail (MRT/LRT/PNR) and detailed cabin-class breakdowns depend on availability in 12go.asia's database for the queried route.
