MTA

NYC Metropolitan Transportation Authority real-time transit data. Use mta-subway-times to get arrival/departure times at any subway station by name — no GTFS knowledge needed. Also provides commuter rail feeds (LIRR, Metro-North), service alerts, and elevator/escalator status. 16 endpoints available through Lava’s AI Gateway.

Supports both managed (Lava’s API keys) and unmanaged (bring your own credentials) mode.

Endpoints
