Back before there was a mobile app, I just made a tiny web page that polled the API: https://jrock.us/mta.html https://jrock.us/mta.html It served me very well for many years (just added it to my phone's home screen as a bookmark). It doesn't work anymore (CORS), so I guess I might as well install the app.

I shamelessly leach off https://codetabs.com/cors-proxy/cors-proxy.html https://codetabs.com/cors-proxy/cors-proxy.html to get around CORS. Simply update your URL and it works

You might like Here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/here-nyc-subway-arrivals/id6446206683 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/here-nyc-subway-arrivals/id644... I use it because it opens instantly and just shows me nearby train arrival times. The other apps have always taken too long to bother checking.

  Oooh. This looks like exactly what I've wanted out of the MTA app. Thanks!

  Thanks. This focuses on the most common daily need, with really clean design and display of information, and live updates as a flourish. Definitely sparks joy.
