# Python for BART and Caltrain
[](https://github.com/hagemt/sv-transit-py/actions/workflows/tests.yml)
We may add other transit modes in future. (your contributions = welcome)
See [screenshots](#screenshots) below to understand potential use cases.
All supported OS/Python variants should be exercised through:
[GitHub Actions](https://github.com/hagemt/sv-transit-py/actions)
## Setup
In an executable script named `ct` or `calt` for Caltrain:
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
exec "${CALT:-/path/to/caltrain.py}" "$@"
```
Put the file in your `PATH` for easy customization. For BART:
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
exec "${BART_CLI:-/path/to/bart.py}" "$@"
```
The best location on macOS is `/usr/local/bin` or `/opt/...` maybe.
Another option is to clone this repo and run the `make` targets for either.
### Releases
If someone actually files a request, I may publish dists of this repo.
The overhead of releases beyond GitHub is a lot for one author/maintainer.
In future: publish to PyPi, maybe Docker images, AUR (open Issue/PRs, please)
## Usage
NOTE: BART line colors may appear differently in your terminal than mine!
Caltrain stations have names like `millbrae` plus aliases I found useful.
```bash
# simplest operation, assumes both home and work:
$ ct
Caltrain #128 South Local in 17 min at Belmont
Caltrain #314 South Limited in 56 min at Belmont
Caltrain #130 South Local in 82 min at Belmont
Caltrain #311 North Limited in 4 min at Belmont
Caltrain #129 North Local in 42 min at Belmont
Caltrain #313 North Limited in 64 min at Belmont
Caltrain #128 South Local in 11 min at Hayward Park
Caltrain #130 South Local in 75 min at Hayward Park
Caltrain #132 South Local in 130 min at Hayward Park
Caltrain #129 North Local in 49 min at Hayward Park
Caltrain #131 North Local in 109 min at Hayward Park
Caltrain #133 North Local in 167 min at Hayward Park
### advanced operation:
# calt rtt sf22 --fmt=json | jq
## ... or: pipe to grep, sort, etc.
```
Set `CALT_HOME=belmont` and/or `CALT_WORK=hayward-park` as necessary.
### Screenshots
re: Caltrain, see examples above vs. all BART departures:
