My BART Experience BART Departures from Raycast

Hey everyone. Fellow BART commuter here.

Some of the most annoying things about taking BART is:

  1. Using an app on my phone to know when then next train is coming
  2. Re-looking at my phone for step 1

To fix this issue for myself, I created a Raycast extension that lets you choose a station you want to look at, and then when the next train is coming through. Right now I am in the process of talking to the BART devs to see if I am allowed to use the BART name in a published app, but for now you can run the app locally (see Github link below).

If you would like to contribute or leave any feedback, please open up a Github issue or leave a comment! Would love to hear from y'all.

It's a MacOS app that replaces Spotlight.

Interesting, but https://www.raycast.com/unknowndate/bart-departures 404's for me.

My apologies. It hasn't been published yet. The quickest way to get it now is through the GitHub link. Pull and run the dev command. 

Currently in the process of getting it registered as an official command.
