A CLI Python program showing arrival timetables, service information, & ADA access for NYC Subway stations.

• MTA API key
  
• req-lib.txt
  
• stop.txt
  
• transfers.txt
  
• stations.csv
  
• protobuf-to-dict-update.py(might be optional, see below)
  
• subway_time.py
  
• python 3.x or above
  
  

pip install -r requirements.txt --user

It takes a tiny bit of prep. work, but it's otherwise very easy to use (& understand):

1. Get an API key
   
2. Install the modules/packages/libraries
   
3. (OPTIONAL, depending on whether the library is giving you trouble)
   Replace protobuf3-to-dict package code with that of protobuf-to-dict-fix.py (found in the requirements folder above). The only difference between the two is the latter changes all long to int; nyc-subway-time.py cannot run without the package, & the package cannot run in python 3 and above while long exists
   
   If you're having trouble finding where your packages are, try running

pip show protobuf3-to-dict

or alternatively, try running the following in a Python file to get the folder pathname:

import site
print(site.getsitepackages())

4. Get source code (i.e. subway_time.py) and static files (found in requirements folder); be sure to keep everything in the same working dir/folder
   
5. Add API key to src code (i.e. line 17: API_KEY)
6. Run
   
   

Has fuzzy autocomplete for station name search:

And also has an option for default settings to save your preferred station. To reset, enter -r or --reset as a CLI argument.

Will tell you of upcoming service announcements as well as current ones:

It's written to be (reasonably) robust when used in good faith 💪

• -j --json: Keep JSON train info and service alert feeds
  
• -r --reset: Removes/resets user defaults (kept in config.json)
  
• -s --service: Show full service alert after each timetable
  
  

python subway-time.py -r -s

• LIRR and/or MetroNorth
• MTA buses
• NJ PATH

Other Python realtime subway lookups; very helpful to me while researching & building this project! :D
