❖ Usage

A CLI application for the SEPTA API

Usage: tst <COMMAND>

Commands:
  next      Search for the next train going from an origin to a destination
  arrivals  Find the next arrivals at a given train station
  train     Track a given train
  stations  Get all valid station names
  extra     All of the extra endpoints added by Septum
  help      Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

Options:
  -h, --help     Print help
  -V, --version  Print version

❖ Base commands

Get times for the next two trains that go from a given train station to another:

tst next '30th Street Station' 'North Philadelphia'

Since tst uses fuzzy matching, you can also do:

tst next 'suburban' '30th'

Setting SeptumURL as seen below will help make the fuzzy matching more accurate, but it is optional

List the next 6 arrivals at a given train station:

tst arrivals '30th Street Station' --count 6

Take a look at any given train's schedule using the train number:

tst train 9374

Get all valid train station names:

tst stations

❖ Extra commands provided by Septum

These commands require endpoints provided by Septum. tst requires the SeptumURL environment variable to be set like:

export SeptumURL="https://septum.jawn.website/api"

Get all lines supported by the tst extra schedule command:

tst extra lines

Get all stations on a given track, as supported by the tst extra schedule command:

tst extra stations TRE          # On the Trenton line

Get train schedule going from one station to another on a given line

This command also uses fuzzy matching so station names do not need to be exact

tst extra schedule TRE "Trenton" "Gray 30th Street" inbound weekday

❖ What's New?

0.9.1 - Updated the fallback for next-to-arrive station names
