  -V, --version  Print version

❖ Base commands

Get times for the next two trains that go from a given train station to another:

tst next '30th Street Station' 'North Philadelphia'

Since tst uses fuzzy matching, you can also do:

tst next 'suburban' '30th'

Setting SeptumURL as seen below will help make the fuzzy matching more accurate, but it is optional

List the next 6 arrivals at a given train station:

tst arrivals '30th Street Station' --count 6

Take a look at any given train's schedule using the train number:

tst train 9374

Get all valid train station names:

tst stations

❖ Extra commands provided by Septum

These commands require endpoints provided by Septum. tst requires the SeptumURL environment variable to be set like:

export SeptumURL="https://septum.jawn.website/api"

Get all lines supported by the tst extra schedule command:

tst extra lines

Get all stations on a given track, as supported by the tst extra schedule command:

tst extra stations TRE          # On the Trenton line

Get train schedule going from one station to another on a given line

This command also uses fuzzy matching so station names do not need to be exact

tst extra schedule TRE "Trenton" "30th St"

By default, this will show inbound trains on weekdays. Use --inbound/outbound and --weekday/weekend to get the schedule you'd like
