people are confused, we should annotate this :)

Should be 00:01 + 70min = 01:11

somehow!?

https://github.com/derrickshowers/caltrain uses the 511.org API to access this data, AFAIK. check out app.js

i added analytics. but it doesn't work while offline and with the service worker

https://developers.google.com/web/showcase/2015/service-workers-iowa#offline_google_analytics has a technique that might work..

The schedules were updated today (April 10, 2017) but are not showing.

not many trains in there...

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'value' of null

we should just hide the button

Looking at PA->SF it's missing a bunch of trains in the morning

based on data from http://www.caltrain.com/Assets/_Marketing/pdf/2015+Annual+Passenger+Counts.pdf
it's possible to derive some decent guesses for what people probably want to see.

e.g.

• one-click suggestions of top departure stations: SF, PA, MTV, SJ
• once dep station selected, one click suggestions for arrival stations: (same list but w/o dep station)

this could probably be even smarter, but having one-tap for these top stations would be great.

This happened more often that I would like. I have looked into real time data for Caltrain schedule 2 years ago, but it was not easy and they didn't really expose it correctly.

The most reliable source still seems to be twitter.

Probably not possible, but I wish.

push notification for when you need to leave for the train station.

I'm on an iphone 6 and timetables stopped loading for me. It did work a couple days ago.

http://www.caltrain.com/about/statsandreports/commutefleets.html listed by passenger car number ranges

nicer, newer cleaner. less vibration. slightly less bike capacity.

feature request from shaila :)

they have new data

http://www.caltrain.com/about/MediaRelations/news/Caltrain_to_Swap_Train_Sets_This_Month_for_More_Capacity_and_Maintenance.html
trains 134, 155, 217, and 268 are bombardier

in the rakefile we'll have to bump '2016APR_GTFS' to '2016APR_GTFS_rev2' and probably a few other things

As Caltrain has recently changed their schedules, it seems that this site has broken and no longer returns any working results.

I need to share the Caltrain URL with someone else, I would like it take the params:

• from
• to
• which day.

thanks.

Basically just what the title says. Performance and security issues because of it.

from #21:

ability to show multiple different schedules side-by-side or interspersed (i.e. for me, Sunnyvale is the closest stop, but Mountain View has a lot more & faster trains, so I want both printed on one sheet. Or maybe I'd want northbound and southbound on one sheet.)

I like the idea of a "Include nearby stops" checkbox (like hipmunk can do), so that folks like @frenchie16 can easily pick which nearby caltrain station they want to use.

sgtm and something the interactive app would benefit from.

Separately, I think showing both north & soundbound in one view is a bit specific to printing and think you might as well use a separate piece of paper. :)

Here's a story from an avid, routine user of caltrainschedule.io (me).

Yesterday, I rolled into the 4th & King station on my bike a bit earlier than normal, eager to arrive in MTV in time to make it to a meeting.
The SF train station shows departure times more clearly than train numbers, as does this app.
I was not fully awake yet, apparently, and even though the displayed time was a bit different, they weren't yet showing my train, and so I got on a weird train.
The train I got on stopped everywhere except for MTV, I had to backtrack from Santa Clara, lost 40 minutes of my day, and I missed my meeting. 🥇

If caltrainschedule.io showed that departure time in red and had a big red X next to it or something, I wouldn't have gotten on it, or at least could have realized my error en route and gotten off at Palo Alto.

I think this addition could also be really helpful for visitors and people new to caltrain.

Happy to work on a PR if you like this idea.

wit dat money yo

I'd like to be able to customize the results a bit more to get a nice page to print and post in my office. Some nice things would be:

• smaller text when printing so it doesn't take four pages to print the weekday schedule for one stop pair
• reformat the top bit where you pick stations when printing, so they don't look like dropdowns when printed (could become a nice header instead)
• ability to show multiple different schedules side-by-side or interspersed (i.e. for me, Sunnyvale is the closest stop, but Mountain View has a lot more & faster trains, so I want both printed on one sheet. Or maybe I'd want northbound and southbound on one sheet.)

They're only on "right now"
