This skill has individual feeds for NYC&#x27;s Subway system, Busses, Long Island &amp; Metro North Railroads, Bridges and Tunnels. Turn on the feeds you need and ask Alexa for your briefing. The skill reports a concise list of transit options which are running smoothly, those being worked on, and those which are delayed.<p>Here&#x27;s a video demo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;tyXaR12SZE8" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;tyXaR12SZE8</a> Here&#x27;s the code: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;nealrs&#x2F;mtafeed" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;nealrs&#x2F;mtafeed</a><p>Right now, this is running on a free Heroku gear, but I&#x27;d love to get your feedback on it before I refactor it (and add some much needed caching) . Thanks!
