An interactive prototype replays every subway train on two selected 2026 service days, letting riders test routes against the trains’ actual times.

NYC subway riders comparing routes and wait times
Worth noticing
Its Saturday example includes skipped stations, a South Bronx service gap, and shuttle buses replacing the A to Far Rockaway.

Field notes

The replay clock can be paused or run at 1×, 10×, or 60×, and the prototype includes weekday and Saturday service. Its examples show disruptions alongside route choices: on the selected Saturday, the 1 skipped 103 St–125 St, the 6 did not run in the South Bronx, and the A did not reach Far Rockaway. The page reports that live-position tests on past weekdays got its wait advice right about four times in five; that result is self-reported.
