Mum & Daughter Bus Checker

Every time my wife and I need to drop our daughter off at school by bus, we typically check online on Google Maps or Citymapper for the live bus times. We have two bus stops that we can use, and each bus stop has a different bus service. I find Citymapper to be the most accurate, but it requires a few clicks and is quite repetitive. What if I connect directly to the Transport for London API and OpenWeatherMap API, pull the information I need, and include a nice message for my wife?
