The Weekender: MTA Creates Interactive Subway Map Detailing Real Time Service Updates

Finally, the Metro Transit Authority has built a decent informative map, based on Massimo Vignelli's famous diagram, detailing all service updates and proposed plans to the subway system.  Commuters can now search by service status of the subway, the rail system, the buses or bridges, and plan for delays.  Travelers can also filter delays, construction and general planned service changes by Station, Line or Borough.

I love the subway, but I am so tired of downloading third party apps to try and tell me when and where to get a train in New York City.  Honestly I haven't really found anything better than GoogleMaps so far, but I have always beleived that the MTA should really have an easily searchable online platform to plan travel.  Maybe The Weekender heralds the dawn of a new digitally friendly, efficiently transparent information system for the modern commuter.
