MTA Live brings the New York City subway pulse directly into your home. It's a dedicated hardware display that tracks real-time arrivals, providing a seamless window into the transit system without ever needing to check your phone.
The Hardware
This project is powered by a high-efficiency Raspberry Pi. Its low power consumption and compact footprint make it the perfect brain for a 24/7 transit monitor, handling network requests and driving the custom display engine with ease.
The Intelligence
The core logic is written in a lightweight Python script that communicates with official GTFS-Realtime feeds. It filters, sorts, and visualizes data to ensure accuracy and legibility in every update.
