Edit fixed commute options

Keep the dashboard fast by storing only the fixed routes and stop pairs you actually compare when going to the office or heading home.

Use the Madison GTFS pickers to fill route IDs, direction IDs, and stop IDs quickly, then override any field manually if needed.

Transit source

Choose the live data source

Mock transit source

Use deterministic sample arrivals while the realtime feed is not configured.

GTFS-Realtime feed

Call the server-side TripUpdates route and normalize protobuf data before ranking.

Madison Metro public preset

Use the public protobuf feed at metromap.cityofmadison.com/gtfsrt/trips. No API key is needed.

TripUpdates URL API key

API credentials are stored only in local browser storage. The app never hardcodes secrets into the client bundle. The public Madison Metro TripUpdates feed does not require an API key.
