# MTA

> NYC Metropolitan Transportation Authority real-time transit data.

NYC Metropolitan Transportation Authority real-time transit data. Use mta-subway-times to get arrival/departure times at any subway station by name — no GTFS knowledge needed. Also provides commuter rail feeds (LIRR, Metro-North), service alerts, and elevator/escalator status.

16 endpoints available through Lava's AI Gateway.

<Info>Supports both **managed** (Lava's API keys) and **unmanaged** (bring your own credentials) mode.</Info>
