Stead, the NJ Transit Commute Copilot
A commute planner for NJ Transit riders that predicts whether to board a train, tracks it live, and suggests backup routes when the trip goes sideways.
Field notes
Stead organizes a commuter’s decision around a single question: whether the next train is worth boarding. Its stated workflow combines live NJ Transit data, risk-scored departure forecasts, GPS position dots, and alternate routing through transfers such as Secaucus Junction or Hoboken. The primary station list runs from Dover to New York Penn Station and names 27 stops, while the broader coverage list extends to several other North Jersey lines. The supplied page shows loading placeholders, so live operation is not verifiable here.
