A couple of MTA nuggets to pass along this morning. One useful, the other entertaining. First off the MTA is debuting their new "Subway Time" app which will let you know when the next train is coming. Great idea but terrible name. Really, Subway Time? One expects to see Jared smiling down from the top navbar on the app. Johnny will dash off a list of acceptable new names first of the new year. Joe Lhota's replacement, you be sure to look for that. Currently the app only lists certain lines. Gothamist, make sense of all this:
To be sure, the app is still a work-in-progress. As of today, it only shows arrival times for the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ,6 trains and the 42nd Street S shuttle, so that soul-crushing feeling triggered by watching passengers swarm the 14th Street Tunnel of Hell as the L train pulls away below is not quite a thing of the past.
Sorry, iPhone and iPad only for now...
Also this morning how about you enjoy this "Top 10 Unforgettable NYC Subway Videos Of 2012" with your Eggo's and coffee. There's probably bad language in it but that's life on the trains, sometimes you hear swears.
