If a station has no trains arriving in either direction, mark it closed on the map #40

Grey out closed stations

May need to use the MetroHero API to reliably get this data.

binxboll commented 6 years ago

The data is already displayed when a user clicks on a station.

jbccollins commented 6 years ago

Yeah but I can't rely on the "if a station has no trains arriving" criteria. It is very possible that a station is open but no train is close enough to be returned by WMATA's arrival predictions API. Weekend service and single tracking cause this pretty frequently actually.

binxboll commented 6 years ago

So slap a ? over any station icon that has not had a train arrival prediction for more than two hours.

jbccollins commented 6 years ago

That's possible. However, given that any closed station will certainly have an associated alert which will be indicated as per #38, I don't really see what value this would add.

A picture is worth a thousand words.
