Travel Time tells you how long it will take to get from one place to another — by car, on foot, or by bike. Give it two locations and a travel mode, and it gives you a realistic journey time with a traffic range for time-sensitive trips.
It works anywhere in the world and understands plain addresses, landmarks, and city names. When you're planning a journey for a specific time — like the morning commute or a lunchtime errand — it factors in typical rush-hour and off-peak patterns to give you a range instead of a single optimistic figure.
What you can do
- get_travel_time — get door-to-door journey time and distance for driving, walking, or cycling between any two locations
- Compare travel modes side by side (call it once per mode)
- Plan for a specific day and time to get a traffic-adjusted estimate
Who it's for
Anyone planning a journey and wanting a realistic time estimate — not just the optimistic GPS default. Useful for scheduling meetings, estimating commute windows, or deciding whether to drive or cycle.
How to use it
- Call get_travel_time with your origin, destination, and travel mode (driving, walking, or cycling)
- Optionally pass a departure time to get a traffic-aware range — e.g. "tomorrow 8:30am" or "Friday 5pm"
- For mode comparisons, call it once per mode and summarise the results side by side
Getting started
Just call get_travel_time with origin and destination — no setup or account needed.
