New York Fast Track

Inspiration

I come from Rutgers University, where starting, it was very hard to navigate around campus. The reason being was that the buses at Rutgers were not integrated into Google Maps' API. Therefore, it would be constant switching between the Rutgers mobile bus app and google maps to get to my freshman year classes. So I want to manipulate NYC subway data in preparation for a new and improved Rutgers mobile bus app

What it does

It calculates when the nearest trains will arrive at stops as well as provide a live feed of NYC subway.

How I built it

Android studio, MTA APIs, Google APIs

Challenges I ran into

Time, didn't get to finish the main part that was not mentioned here

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Parsing all that complicated GTFS data.

What I learned

A lot about google maps and transit APIs

What's next for New York Fast Track
