# Locate Bus

> Find a buses current route and location

```
/locatebus <bus>
```

## Overview

The `/locatebus` command allows you to find the current route and location of a specific bus in London. It provides real-time information about the bus's route and the next stop.

<Note>
  If the bus is not currently in service, LondonTransit will be told that the bus's information is not available.
</Note>

## Response

It returns an embed with the following information for the specified bus:

* **Route and Direction**: The bus route number and the direction it is heading.
* **Next Stop**: The next stop the bus will make.
* **Estimated Arrival**: The estimated time until the bus arrives at the next stop.

For example, if you were to locate a bus with the registration plate "LG23EVB", the response might look like this:

<Card title="LG23EVB is currently operating the 57 to Clapham Park, Atkins Road" description="Next Stop: South Wimbledon Station" color="#FF0000">
  The next stop will be **South Wimbledon Station**\
  It should arrive in approximately **2 minute(s)**.
</Card>
