Last night my iPhone app “SubwayDelay” was released. SubwayDelay provides NYC subway riders with up-to-the-minute information on which trains might be running late, based on the MTA-provided service alerts. Debating if you should jump on the C train instead of waiting for the A? Open up SubwayDelay as you’re headed to the station and you’ll see the latest service alerts from the lines you’re interested in. SubwayDelay allows you to keep a list of “favorite” lines so that they’re close at hand as you’re headed to the station near your apartment or work place.
SubwayDelay is not affiliated with the MTA. Unfortunately, the MTA has yet to release easy access to data on service alerts. This application rests on MTA Feeds (another site that I created), which provides free access to the MTA data in an easy-to-consume format for transit software developers and subway riders.
