Perhaps this is because I'm using the RESTful API rather than the other one. Or it's possible that MBTA is giving priority to their app instead.

Hey Edward,

I took a photo/screenshot at the same time for you to demonstrate the time difference. The mirror showed a bus coming in 11:23sec but the ProximiT app said the next bus was in 19min. I'm guessing the "Kendall/MIT 21:33" on the mirror is the same bus as the app (19min)?

Side note: do you know what the difference between the 3 Kendall/MIT buses that are on my mirror in the first photo?

Possible cause: they use schedule time instead of predicted time.

Can someone verify that this is still a problem, with APIv3 and changes to the backend?
