Link to Navigo to go to a specific destination

Winnipeg Transit’s Navigo generally won’t let you enter a destination unless you first enter a “from”. I wanted to be able to add a link to a web site that says “if  you want to come here, you can take the bus, click here”, like this link  which will open the Navigo page with Assentworks pre-populated as an address.

Asked 311/transit, and they explained:

The user needs to include the destination information in the link. The best way to do this is to plan a trip using the desired address as the destination, it can be any trip (random origin and time). From the results page, click ‘Modify Request’ in the sidebar. This takes you back to the trip planning page with pre-filled information. Copy the URL from this page, it will look something like:

http://winnipegtransit.com/en/navigo/submit_destination?authenticity_token=****************************&destinationKey=13&destinationName=Forks+Market+%281+Forks+Market+Road%29&destinationType=monument&method=post&originKey=3911&originName=MTS+Centre+%28300+Portage+Avenue%29&originType=monument&tripDate=0

Delete all the unwanted information from the URL (keep all parameters related to destination [destinationKey, destinationName, destinationType]). Then it will look like:

http://winnipegtransit.com/en/navigo/submit_destination?destinationKey=13&destinationName=Forks+Market+%281+Forks+Market+Road%29&destinationType=monument

Use this URL to link to Navigo.
