WhichWay: hands-free NYC subway routing
An iPhone subway app that starts a route near a station, identifies the train you board, and updates directions as your ride changes.
- For
- New York City subway riders who want hands-free directions
- Worth noticing
- The page says uncertain train matches are labeled “presumably,” with a one-tap correction for the rider.
Field notes
The homepage describes motion sensing that matches a felt departure against trains leaving the platform; if the match is uncertain, it says “presumably,” and riders can correct it with one tap. It also says the route can change when someone boards a different line or stays aboard past a planned transfer, with the ride mirrored in an iPhone Live Activity. The page reports a typical arrival error of 67.6 seconds versus 85.5 seconds for the timetable; these are project claims.
