NYC MTA Transit
Real-time New York City MTA transit data — subway arrivals (GTFS-RT protobuf), bus predictions (SIRI JSON API), service alerts, and route information. Subway and alerts work with zero config; bus data requires a free API key.
When to Use
User asks about NYC subway, MTA, the train, or specific lines (1/2/3, A/C/E, N/Q/R/W, etc.) User asks "when is the next train" in a New York City context User mentions specific NYC stations (Times Square, Penn Station, Grand Central, Union Square, etc.) User asks about NYC bus routes (M1, B52, Bx12, Q44, S79, etc.) User asks about MTA service alerts, delays, planned work, weekend service changes User asks about MTA fares, MetroCard, OMNY User asks about subway status or weekend service changes User asks about nearby subway stops or bus stops in NYC
Data Sources
NYC MTA is multiple transit agencies with different data formats:
Subway Real-Time Feeds (GTFS-RT Protobuf, NO key required)
Feeds are grouped by line division. Each returns protobuf binary with NYCT extensions (direction, track info).

Setup: Bus API Key
Subway and alert commands work with zero configuration. For bus commands: Get a free key at https://register.developer.obanyc.com/ Set environment variable: MTA_BUS_API_KEY
Setup: GTFS Static Data
On first use, run node scripts/mta.mjs refresh-gtfs to download subway stop/route data to ~/.mta/gtfs/. Refresh periodically (data updates hourly).

Tips for Users
Subway stop IDs end with N (northbound/uptown) or S (southbound/downtown). Example: 127N = Times Sq northbound Subway works with zero config — no API key needed for any subway command Bus requires a free API key — get one at https://register.developer.obanyc.com/ Alerts always work — no key needed Multiple subway feeds exist; the skill automatically fetches the right one(s) for the line requested Use --stop-search for fuzzy name matching, --stop for exact stop IDs
Error Handling
If MTA_BUS_API_KEY is not set, bus commands print a helpful message with the signup URL; subway commands still work Invalid station/stop searches show "No matching station found" Network errors and API error responses produce friendly messages If a subway feed returns empty data, note that real-time data may be temporarily unavailable
Response Formatting
When presenting transit info to the user: Lead with the most actionable info (next arrival time, active alerts) Show line letter/number + direction (e.g., "A train toward Far Rockaway, arriving 3 min") For subway: show "Approaching" for trains at the station, minutes for upcoming Show track info when available (actual vs scheduled track) Always mention active service alerts for the line being queried For buses: show route + destination + minutes/stops away Times in 12-hour format with AM/PM

Security & Privacy
Subway: No credentials required — subway and alert feeds are open access, no API keys or tokens Bus: Free API key required — passed as a URL query parameter to MTA's official BusTime API No user data transmitted — requests contain only API keys and route/stop identifiers, no personal information Local storage only — GTFS static data is cached locally at ~/.mta/gtfs/; no data is written elsewhere No telemetry — this skill does not phone home or collect usage data Input handling — stop names and route IDs from user input are used only for local filtering, never interpolated into shell commands
Trust Statement
This skill reads publicly available transit data from MTA's official feeds and APIs. The bus API key is used only for MTA BusTime API authentication. The skill does not access, store, or transmit any personal information beyond the API key configured by the user.
