GET /api/v1/live/{slug}/departures
Live public-transit departures for the VRR core cities + VVS Stuttgart per station (Mentz EFA, Tier C)
Returns the real-time departure board of a station in one of the six VRR core cities (duesseldorf, dortmund, essen, duisburg, bochum, wuppertal, key-less Mentz EFA efa.vrr.de) or in Stuttgart (VVS, key-less Mentz EFA www3.vvs.de): per departure the line, direction, minutes until departure and delay in seconds. The slug selects the city (city-scoping via the AGS5 prefix); a non-EFA slug returns 404. The station query parameter is a station name (default the city's main station), resolved internally via StopFinder to the EFA global id. The meta block additionally carries as_of and refresh_seconds (60). Tier C live-only: the EFA licence is not clearly open (source license = unknown), live data only, kept only briefly in the Redis cache. Attribution per network "Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr (VRR)" or "Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund Stuttgart (VVS)". Disabled -> 200 source_status="disabled"; unknown station or no departures -> 200 source_status="no_data"; dead upstream with no cache -> 503 with a hint.
