Is there an api for the new metro mta / bus / train, etc.?
I want to do something with mta maps, so is there such an API?
Another method I was thinking about is going to the website and removing the tags.
Yes, I checked google and mta dev sites, but I don't find what I need. On the mta site, I only see data about trains, like what trains are there, what are their stops. I need something like traffic latency data or any outages etc.
They have their own transit timetable, available in GTFS format, and an XML channel for service information. More details.
Have you checked out the following API? They have REST data for subway time. Hope you find this helpful.

There is currently a MTA-API
python wrapper around the Metropolitan Transport Authority API .
