The selected element can be located by this XPath

//div[@class='card is-selected']

Or this CSS Selector

div.is-selected

So, you can use this Selenium code to extract the id attribute value:

id = driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"//div[@class='card is-selected']").get_attribute("id")

But this will give you the id appearing on the dev tools, this is not always the text you see as a user on the page. To get the text user sees you will need this:

name = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR,"div.is-selected .station-name").text

This can be done woth XPath as well
