Scriptable Widget MTA Subway Train Reminder
Keywords: iOS, iPadOS, Widget, Scriptable, NYC MTA Subway, New York City Subway

I really love the concept from https://wheresthefuckingtrain.com/ which simplifies the directions into just two.
Also in this stage I use its API to quickly make this widget.
In the future I may link my own API from MTA.
▲: Uptown/Manhattan
▼: Downtown/Brooklyn
Just remember that Manhattan is the core of NYC Subway.
- Download the app "Scriptable" from iOS/iPadOS App Store
- Copy the code into a new script.
- Add a Scriptable widget to your iPhone/iPad home screen. There are 3 sizes on iOS or 4 sizes on iPadOS .
- Set the widget to the script you just created.
- You are all set!
Use your location to find the nearest subway station.
Need the permission to get location.
No parameters or unrecognised/unruled paremeters will arise this mode.
Find a subway station in Google Maps or any other.
Copy and edit its GPS Coordinate in this format:
(40.8278609, -73.9254583)
Long press the widget and find the setting panel.
Paste the coordinate to the "Parameter" textfield.
The script will automatically decode this string and get the station.
-
There is of course no accurate coordinate for subway station. So just finding any GPS coordinate around the subway station is enough. Magic will happen.
-
For Chinese users, please be sure to use English punctuation marks (,)
Add your favorite stations and make it easy to be set by just typing number 1/2/3 as parameter.
Record these stations' coordinate in the script.
You can see them in the beginning.
Edit the variable myF1/myF2/myF3.
🔍For example:
let myF1="(40.6922632, -73.9868766)" //default: Jay St MetroTech
The default is Dark Mode.
If you want to switch, please locate the "colorModeSetting" variable at the beginning of the script and modify it.
- 0 → Automatic
- 1 → Fixed Light Mode
- 2 → Fixed Dark Mode
- Subject to the system limit, the widget might NOT fresh the content as soon as we want. You can click to refresh.
- The good news is the timer you see shows the relative time to the last refresh time which will help you refer to offset by calculating.
- Pay attention! Since we simplify the directions, so you CANNOT see the difference of multiple terminal destinations. For example, A train may have multiple terminal stations including Ozone Park–Lefferts Blvd and Far Rockaway-Mott Av. Sometimes A train may also stop at the middle station as terminal station like Euclid Av. Please refer to MTA official website and broadcast in this case.
- Language follows system. Support Chinese and English.

Scriptable小组件MTA地铁列车提醒
关键词: iOS, iPadOS, 小组件, Scriptable, 纽约地铁
西尔弗制作
我非常喜欢 https://wheresthefuckingtrain.com/ 的概念，它将方向简化为两个。
目前我使用了它的API来快速制作这个小组件。
将来我可能会链接到自己的MTA API。
▲: 上城/曼哈顿（Uptown/Manhattan）
▼: 下城/布鲁克林（Downtown/Brooklyn）
始终记住曼哈顿是纽约地铁的核心。
- 从iOS/iPadOS App Store下载"Scriptable"应用程序
- 将代码复制到一个新脚本中。
- 在iPhone/iPad主屏幕上添加一个Scriptable小组件。iOS上有3种尺寸，iPadOS上有4种尺寸。
- 将小组件设置为刚刚创建的脚本。
- 完成基本设置！
使用您的位置查找最近的地铁站。
需要获取位置的权限。
此模式不需要参数。无法识别/非法的参数也将激活此模式。
在Google地图或其他地图中找到一个地铁站。
复制并编辑其GPS坐标，格式如下：
(40.8278609, -73.9254583)
长按小组件，找到设置面板。
将坐标粘贴到"参数"文本框中。
脚本将自动解码此字符串并获取站点。
-
地铁站自然是没有准确的坐标。所以只需找到地铁站附近的任何GPS坐标即可。匹配工作交给脚本吧。
-
对于中文用户，请确保使用的是英文标点符号 (,)
添加您喜爱的站点，只需键入1/2/3作为参数即可轻松设置。
在脚本中记录这些站点的坐标。
您可以在脚本的开头看到它们。
编辑变量myF1/myF2/myF3。
🌰例如：
let myF1="(40.6922632, -73.9868766)" //默认：Jay St MetroTech
默认为深色模式。
如果你想切换颜色显示，请在脚本最前面找到变量“colorModeSetting”修改。
-
0 → 自动
-
1 → 固定浅色
-
2 → 固定深色
- 受系统限制，小组件可能不会立即刷新内容。可设置为手动点击重新运行脚本。
- 好在有计时器帮忙！您看到的时间显示是相对于上次刷新时间的差值，可以方便地找到最近时间的列车。
- 请注意！由于简化了方向，因此您无法看到多个终点站的区别。例如，A车可能有多个终点站，包括Ozone Park–Lefferts Blvd和Far Rockaway-Mott Av等。有时候A列车也可能在中间站停靠作为终点，例如Euclid Av。在这种情况下，请参考MTA官方网站和广播。
- 语言随系统变动，支持中文和英语。
