standard_routes

Returns an ordered list of mostly revenue (and some lead) track circuits,
arranged by line and track number. This data does not change frequently and
should be cached for a reasonable amount of time.

The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority is a
government agency operating light rail and passenger buses in the
Washington D.C. area. With a free developer account, access their
'Metro Transparent Data Sets API' <https://developer.wmata.com/> to
return data frames of transit data for easy analysis.

standard_routes function

A nested tibble with 1 row per track and 3 variables:<dl>
<dt>LineCode</dt>
<dd>Abbreviation for the revenue line. Note that this also
includes YLRP (Yellow Line Rush Plus).</dd><dt>TrackNum</dt>
<dd>Track number (1 or 2).</dd><dt>TrackCircuits</dt>
<dd>Array containing ordered track circuit information:<ul>
<li><code>CircuitId</code>: An internal system-wide uniquely identifiable circuit
number.</li>
<li><code>SeqNum</code>: Order in which the circuit appears for the given line and
track. Sequences go from West to East and South to North.</li>
<li><code>StationCode</code>: If the circuit is at a station, this value will represent
the station code. Otherwise, it will be be <code>NA</code>. Use this value in other
rail-related APIs to retrieve data about a station.</li>
</ul>
