Name Description
resultSet Root element of all results
errorMessage This element will occur if there was an error processing your request and contains a description of the problem.
detour Contains information about a detour that may apply to one or more routes at the time the query was made.

detour[@desc] A plain text description of the detour.
detour[@end] The time the detour will become invalid. Note that this will always be a time after the time the query was made. Some end times will be very far in the future and will be removed once the detour is no longer in effect. This field is used internally and may be of little use outside of TriMet.

detour[@phonetic] A phonetic spelling of the route detour. This field is used by TriMet's 238-Ride text-to-speech system.
detour[@info_link_url] Included if infolink request parameter is set to true. Contains a url where more information can be found about the detour. Will be null if not available.
route This child element of detour occurs for every route the detour is applicable.
route[@desc] The description of the route number.
route[@route] The route's number (an integer).
