Service Changes are in view as part of the complete picture of possible rides." - PIX11 News "Several voices on Twitter pointed out that a digital MTA map, arguably superior, already exists.

I can use [Subway Now] to easily see where the trains are bunching or slowing due to issues and plan accordingly." - VICE Motherboard From our users: "Your app has seriously improved my knowledge of the subway system by getting me to do more of my own routing. It’s like using a multiplication table instead of a calculator." "Because of this app, I had the information needed to hustle to my train or make a connecting transfer, before a gap in service."
