A smarter PATCO timetable.
Accurate departure times every day, including holidays and special schedules. No PDFs, no surprises.
PATCO riders usually need a simple answer: when's the next train? Official timetable PDFs have it, but they're hard to read, especially on a phone. Scrolling and zooming through PDFs of times just to find the next departure is tedious.
Most transit apps pull from PATCO's GTFS feed, the standard data format for transit schedules. It includes the regular timetable (Weekday, Saturday and Sunday), but not special schedules. When maintenance or holidays impact schedule times, all those apps can do is flag the change and link you to PATCO's special schedule PDF instead of showing the new times. Every check becomes a decision: trust the app or open the PDF? With PATCO running special schedules nearly every week, that means most days those apps are showing the wrong times.
nextpatco.fyi solves this by reading those special schedule PDFs and merging the adjusted times into the regular timetable, so every date in the next seven day window shows the right departure times. No need to know which schedule applies or scan any hard-to-read PDFs. Pick a station and find your next train.
