Making a RIPTA Bus Tracker
Does anyone have experience with coding to make something like this, but for RIPTA buses? See image as an example below. I'm probably not good enough with code to do it on my own, but if anyone has any guidance on reconfiguring something like that to work for RIPTA's API it would be very much appreciated!

MetroHero down since yesterday- where to get real-time Metro times?
Can you get a little more technical on what data feeds you use and what other ones are out there? I built some metro boards following the guide herehere, but a known issue is that they regularly time out, so wondering if you encountered the same thing and if you were able to find a work around?

Building a DC Metro display based on Raspberry Pi
Yeah, a guy posted one a while back, it’s a smaller form factor and therefore cheaper to build too: https://github.com/metro-sign/dc-metro
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ripta and dc-metro you can also consider the following projects:
