• OneBusAway has a REST API combining GTFS and GTFS realtime - http://developer.onebusaway.org/modules/onebusaway-application-modules/current/api/where/index.html
  • OneBusAway example for ESP32 - https://github.com/danielhep/departures
  • http://developer.onebusaway.org/modules/onebusaway-application-modules/current/api/where/methods/arrivals-and-departures-for-stop.html - seems to be a one-stop-shop - if we can find this OBA REST for MTA

• Should we just be using RSS or Atom since this is essentially just a 2 dimensional generalized news ticker
  • i.e. aggregate existing RSS and build proxy "microservices" for anything else, exposing RSS
  • this way we do not need to define a new data format
  • the transit option would be a fun one, given a GTFS info and a stop ID, expose an RSS feed of current info
• non gtfs/oba - https://github.com/st3fan/departures-board
• related to gtfs/oba
