OpenTripPlanner

Getting OpenTripPlanner to work and more:

1. Download, configure and test run on http
https://github.com/openplans/OpenTripPlanner/wiki/TwoMinutes

note: once the browser opens http://localhost:8080/opentripplanner-webapp
the background maybe empty. On the far right of the  page, click the "+" sign. Then under "Base Layer" and choose "Open Street Map" (or others, instead of the default "Mapbox Steets")



2. Test the Stand-alone mode, which is used as an API
https://github.com/openplans/OpenTripPlanner/wiki


3. Json or Xml (default) result can be generated:
 https://github.com/openplans/OpenTripPlanner/wiki/JsonOrXml

EXAMPLE:
curl --header "Accept: application/json" "http://maps5.trimet.org/osm?mode=BICYCLE&toPlace=45.504966%2C-122.654349&fromPlace=45.5115225%2C-122.647633"
vs.
curl --header "Accept: application/xml" "http://maps5.trimet.org/osm?mode=BICYCLE&toPlace=45.504966%2C-122.654349&fromPlace=45.5115225%2C-122.647633"

4. Build graphs:
