My take on a next train display for Metro
Cool! I made this one but I would try yours out if you post the code!

Saw Someone Post A Similar Metro Board A Few
Thanks! I've got the code on Github now with an install guide: https://github.com/kenschneider18/rpi-metro-display Hope this helps!
If you're still interested, I've finally gotten around to open sourcing my code and made an installation guide: https://github.com/kenschneider18/rpi-metro-display
So interestingly enough I'm not using the GTFS here, in fact WMATA hadn't been on GTFS when I originally created this. I use their real time rail APIs. I've got the code up on Github along with an install guide now: https://github.com/kenschneider18/rpi-metro-display
Code is live with a guide here: https://github.com/kenschneider18/rpi-metro-display
If you're still interested in this I put the code up on Github along with an installation guide: https://github.com/kenschneider18/rpi-metro-display
The code for mine is now open source if you're interested: https://github.com/kenschneider18/rpi-metro-display

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 rpi-metro-display and dc-metro you can also consider the following projects:
whitelist - A simple tool to add commonly white listed domains to your Pi-Hole setup.
ripta - A simple app for displaying real-time RIPTA bus data, using the gtfs-realtime gem.
Home Assistant - :house_with_garden: Open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first.
