NYC MTA Subway Times

@ooom416354
I too would love something like the MTA has in some of the stations now (see pic below). I plan to make a magic mirror for our office and determine everyone’s subway line so that when they are leaving or planning to leave they can see when the next 2 trains are in either direction
.
Even just the basic service status for the subways would be helpful too if the data can’t be pulled off above.
I also finally got the MMM-MTA to work for me last night. Couldn’t figure out why nothing would show and then all of a sudden alert popped up that the Babylon eastbound train to Penn was running two minutes late. That will be going on my home mirror and work mirror.

@imchrisrein yea it will only show up if there’s a delay for the LIRR module. The pic above is great - I think you can get the next times using their API. might even be some modules out there now. I was thinking something like this might help you ?
-
@ooom416354 You da man.
I am using an MTA module but not this one. Love it, gonna try when I get home tonight.
-
@imchrisrein im trying it now, making some sort of attempt to convert to work with the LIRR. The module that @yawns helped is great to track when the next train is. right now i’m also trying to see if there’s an overall service issue as well. sometimes the train is on time but cancelled at jamaica before i get to the station so it would be good to know if that happens before leaving
-
@ooom416354 I just gave this a try and it works great. Any clue how to get the corresponding lines to show their colors? I see a call to the public folder mta-view which has the code and color for each line, but mine are greyed out.
-
@mastev26 Did you ever figure this out? Also trying to call real-time arrival info.
-
@imchrisrein Which Module are you using?
-
I myself wrote one if you want to check it out. Feedback is welcome:
