This headline got me excited that MTA would have real time, official data. But, it's just in the Transit app. It's a clever solution to a real problem. If Transit was really nice, they would expose this datafeed to developers. I created the only Alexa app that uses the official MTA feed for arrival times of the numbered lines (plus the L and S). I'd love to add the lettered lines to it if I could tap into Transit's feed. I presume they won't expose this data, though, since it's thier app's key value add :(
