What is ArriveLah - Singapore Bus Arrivals?
ArriveLah is a specialized utility designed for the Openclaw Skills ecosystem that simplifies public transport navigation in Singapore. By processing natural language queries like "bus from my office to home," this skill coordinates multiple APIs to determine the best bus routes, find nearby stops, and provide live timing information. It serves as a bridge between static transport data and real-time arrival services, making it an essential tool for developers and users building local transit assistants.
This Openclaw Skills extension ensures that users get accurate, real-time feedback on bus availability, seat capacity, and vehicle types without manually checking multiple apps. By leveraging OneMap for geocoding and BusRouter for route mapping, it provides a comprehensive transit intelligence layer for any AI agent.
