Hey, just wanted to clarify the inputs user makes to get desired output, as well as what the desired output specifically is. User Input: * destination station name * current time - does user input a time when they leave, or will program just get the current time? Program Output: * number & depart time of next available bus/time that leaves current station so don't need to show the entire route, only first step? Is that right? if there are any inputs/outputs I missed please let me know

You will need to ask the starting station-A: "how to I get from station-A to station-B, leaving after time-T ?" Your query should be made directly to the server of station-A, and need to provide station-B and time-T (the inputs). If station-A is *directly* connected to station-B, station-A can get the answer from its own timetable, and immediately reply with: "catch bus-N from station-A, at time HH:MM, to arrive at station-B at time XX:YY" If station-A is *not* directly connected to station-B, it will have to ask each of its neighbours for help. As the route will require a transfer from the first bus to a second bus (to a third bus....) the output will need to inform the traveller, as with: "catch bus-N from station-A, at time HH:MM, to arrive at station-C at time XX:YY. catch bus-P from station-C, at time RR:SS, to arrive at station-B at time JJ:KK" If no journey can reach the destination station by midnight, then the the output should be: "there is journey from station-A to station-B leaving after time-T today" The output does not have to aesthetically pleasing, or in fluent English, just to correctly report station names, and times, in the order to be taken. Hope this helps. I'll write this up as a Clarification.

so we need to respond to user with the entire route? just making sure as in project sheet: "the number, and departure time of the next bus or train leaving the source station that enables the passenger to reach the required destination station, and the expected final arrival time at the destination." Although it makes sense to output whole route, the specified answer implies (in my opinion) that we only needed to respond with the first instance of between station traveling, as well with time after subsequent steps that user will eventually arrive at destination. to reiterate, responding with entire route makes sense, but the project wording put me off a bit.
