## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability transit402-dev-23228004 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I'm at 40.7484, -73.9967 — find me the 5 nearest Citi Bike stations that have bikes available, especially any with e-bikes.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to find a Citi Bike station for pickup (not return) near a specific coordinate, especially when filtering by e-bike availability or minimum bike count. Prefer this over generic transit endpoints when the user specifically wants bike share, and over the sibling dock-return endpoint when the user wants to start a ride, not end one.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or out-of-range coordinates (e.g. lat/lng outside NYC service area) return no results or an error
- limit parameter outside 1–10 range is rejected
- Citi Bike feed unavailable causes upstream timeout or stale data
- Location in a borough or neighborhood with no Citi Bike coverage returns empty results
