This would also require understanding routeIds and headsigns, which are alphanumeric. Currently we only support understanding city names and stop numbers (numeric only).
We could support adding an alarm for a route similarly to how we're allowing route filters now, which is asking "Do you want to set an alarm for X?", and loop through current routes/arrivals to set the reminder.
From a quick search it still appears as though Alexa Skill Kit doesn't directly support the concept of skill-generated alarms.
We may be able to use the OBA register-alarm-for-arrival-and-departure-at-stop API for this: http://developer.onebusaway.org/modules/onebusaway-application-modules/current/api/where/methods/register-alarm-for-arrival-and-departure-at-stop.html
This is what iOS is currently using, as native iOS doesn't provide a good reminder feature either.
