When the new PDX Transit is out, whenever you bookmark a transit stop, it’ll make App Shortcuts which you can add to your Home Screen.

They can be used to get arrival times or view related service alerts for that stop. Check it out:

I made my own “hints view" for Shortcuts if they're available in your current context. They show what you can say to Siri.

Apple made SiriTipView but they're a bit of an eye sore. heh.

I made an App Shortcut that takes a Trimet Stop ID in the Siri UI and then presents arrival times for that stop in the subsequent view. Works so quickly — probably a better experience than opening the app tbh!

Also, the HomePod experience for this just works! It will say the upcoming arrivals nicely since there’s no visual UI.

Have fun with your App Shortcut platters in the Shortcuts app by giving it a light and dark mode theme... don't be boring like all the others. :)

By the way, if your iOS ships #AppShortcuts with a custom background tile color (for the Shortcuts app), its most likely that it only works on iPhone and not iPad.

I was able to get it to work on iPad by making a duplicate entry in the info plist for “CFBundleIcons" to be “CFBundleIcons~ipad" because I remembered about "Device-Specific Keys" from this article.

So now my background tiles show up green on iPadOS Shortcuts app.

The same App Shortcuts/App Intents code from iOS “Just Works”™ on watchOS too. And the Bookmarks saved in the app sync via iCloud. Noice. 👍

Each one makes a service call to get arrival times or alerts and for a watch, it’s pretty damn quick!
