Score: 4.7/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 5, Documentation: 2, Utility: 5)

MTA.rip is an unofficial live location board for the NYC Subway that visualizes train positions and congestion using MTA GTFS-RT feeds. It provides a station-focused track map view, which is a nice niche combination but the README offers minimal information about build, usage, or architecture.

Target audience: NYC commuters and transit data enthusiasts
