I can hear the beeping

Nice! Love the clean look. Some suggestions:

• I'd like to be able to rearrange the order so that I can put my local station at the top. EDIT: I guess having location on kinda does this. I just almost never give apps access to my location out of habit, but since this lovely app is open source I can actually confirm that it isn't doing anything with my data! Ty for putting the source up, really appreciate it.
• The thing at the top that tells you how recently it was updated gives me anxiety - it's animation every second is distracting and feels like a countdown clock even though it is not. I'd appreciate if that was at the bottom of the page or if it only updated every 10s or so.
• There is no need to label the Hoboken layover trains with HOB if they are past Hoboken on either end. For instance, it is confusing to see JSQ HOB in the Grove St box because that train is the same as JSQ: It is only going to Journal Square. Same as 33rd HOB at like Christopher St. I know the trains themselves don't do this, but it would be a little less confusing in the app.
• it would be cool to have an indication of what left/right arrows mean. The path app uses "to NY" / "to NJ" to differentiate, which is helpful. This would also help with the last bullet.
• it would be nice if I could tap on a train and see its scheduled list of stops. This is really missing from the official PATH app. Bonus points for showing current delay and then propagating that delay to each future stop as an estimate.
• it would be nice if I could tap on the station name and see an expanded view with more trains.
• Unfortunately, PATH is so often broken in some way that I always check the alerts before going anywhere. it might be necessary to put the Path alerts on this app so that users don't have to use two apps every time they travel.

Overall I like the simplicity, so I think it would be important to not have too much feature creep, but the ones above I think wouldn't be too much. Thank you for not having a "plan your trip" thing: everyone just does that and it adds a lot of friction for advanced users who just want to see timetables.

Oh shit I think I saw it! I saw a low-flying small craft fly over Bryn Mawr and then the fighter jet was swirling around behind it!

It was just over Bryn Mawr a little bit ago. Man those things are loud!

Just skimmed the article, seems like they just reduced the speed limit - and then, predictably, cars really didn't slow down on average.

Drivers will drive at the speed the road is designed for, not the speed printed on a sign. If your road goes from 40 MPH to 25 and nothing about the road changes, people are not going to slow down. As an example, Montgomery Ave does this out in the suburbs. I've driven on that road many, many times - people don't slow down when the speed limit drops through Bala Cynwyd, Narberth, and Ardmore. Why would they? Nothing about the road design makes it clear that you should!

There are things that can be done to actually slow cars down. You have to align incentives - people in cars don't give a shit about anyone outside of their car, but they do give a shit if their car gets scratched! So one way to get them to slow down is to narrow streets so that they have to be careful if they don't want to damage their vehicle.

I've seen a good implementation of traffic calming in Olean, NY (a small town just north of PA but pretty far west). They used to have the issue of cars flying unsafely down their main street. They replaced the signalled intersections on that street with roundabouts and turned two lanes in each direction into one. Now the traffic moves at a much slower pace but there isn't stop and go traffic either, so it isn't even that annoying to drivers! Plus, you don't have to turn left out of parking lots - turn right and go around the next circle!

I am not saying any of the above should be implemented in Philly - I am absolutely not qualified to make judgements about what should be implemented where. But I do know that better design is possible, and that changing speed limit signs does nothing unless you have cops that actually can and do enforce it sitting there all the time.

Guess that explains the sirens...

I posted in another thread on this: last I heard on police scanner was something about a popcorn machine malfunction setting off alarms. Usual disclaimer: this is early info, accuracy is not guaranteed.

From the police scanner, sounds like a popcorn machine had a malfunction and set off alarms - but who knows if this is accurate.

Edit: seems like they aren't sure if shots were fired or not - apparently they are going to check camera footage.
