septa_alertsSEPTA service alerts, advisories, detours, and suspensions for Philadelphia transit. Pass a route to check one line: a bus number ("23"), a trolley ("T1" or legacy "10"), a Regional Rail line name ("Paoli/Thorndale", "West Trenton", "Airport"), a subway ("Broad Street Line", "Market-Frankford Line", "NHSL"), or a raw route_id ("bus_route_23", "trolley_route_10", "rr_route_pao"). Omit route to list every route with an active alert system-wide. Example: septa_alerts({ route: "Paoli/Thorndale" })
Parameters not published.
septa_bus_positionsLive SEPTA bus and trolley vehicle positions for a route in Philadelphia — each vehicle with direction, destination, next stop, minutes late, estimated seat availability (crowding), and lat/lon. Buses use route numbers ("23", "47"); trolleys use SEPTA Metro codes T1-T5, G1 (Girard), D1/D2 (Media/Sharon Hill) — legacy trolley numbers like "10" are auto-translated to T1. Example: septa_bus_positions({ route: "23" })
Parameters not published.
septa_next_to_arriveNext SEPTA Regional Rail trains from an origin station to a destination station in Philly — direct trains and connecting itineraries (with transfer station), departure/arrival times, and live delay status. Answers "when is the next train from X to Y" in Philadelphia. Example: septa_next_to_arrive({ orig: "Suburban Station", dest: "Airport Terminal B", n: 3 })
Parameters not published.
septa_rail_arrivalsPhiladelphia SEPTA Regional Rail departures board for a station — the next trains leaving, grouped Northbound/Southbound with train number, line, destination, scheduled vs estimated departure time, live status ("On Time" or minutes late), and track. Station names are matched forgivingly ("30th street", "ardmore", "suburban" all work). Example: septa_rail_arrivals({ station: "Suburban Station", results: 8 })
Parameters not published.
septa_train_viewLive positions of every SEPTA Regional Rail train currently running in the Philadelphia region — train number, line, destination, current and next stop, minutes late, and lat/lon. Answers "is my train late" and "where is train 456". Optionally filter to one line. Example: septa_train_view({ line: "Paoli/Thorndale" })
Parameters not published.
