On the heels of yesterday’s post, I’ve introduced dashboards for train lines.
The dashboard will provide a snapshot of the current status of the line, namely the number of trains, average lateness, and how many trains are over 5 minutes late.
It’s a small improvement, but helps make the train line page easier to understand, especially on mobile devices.
This dashboard stems from the introduction of the newest API endpoint:
/api/current/line/{train line}/{inbound, outbound}/latestSimilar to the other “latest” API, calls to this API return the latest info about each train in the line. Here’s a sample:
{
“id”: “472-Jenkintown”,
“time”: “2016–04–04T23:29:11”,
“late”: “0”,
“lat”: “40.07205”,
“lon”: “-75.12829”,
“nextstop”: “Jenkintown-Wyncote”,
“source”: “Airport”,
“dest”: “Jenkintown”
}Coming tomorrow: a dashboard for the entire system!
Did I mention there’s an API available? http://www.SeptaStats.com/
