It’s rare that MARTA has changed the realtime train API. And this is definitely the biggest change I’ve seen in the decade I’ve been using it. A longstanding complaint I have gotten while maintaining marta.io is that it only includes active trips, or moving trains and their destination. On Friday I noticed that their new train API endpoint includes future, scheduled trips. I added some quick styling for them (faded pills, calendar icons), and am excited to give it a whirl next week!
@jakswa Interesting, sounds useful if not immediately obvious. I wasn’t the only one that was confused. There was someone else at the station withe who checked the signs and was like “no way am I waiting 38 minutes” and I let her know there earlier trains coming
