PRESS REVIEWS
Makespace - “Let’s face it: Google Maps can only get you so far. Made specifically with busy New Yorkers in mind, it’s an all-in-one commute compendium."
Brokelyn - ”In addition to the MTA’s online Subway Times, which offers the current arrival times by line & station and is accessible from the internet even beyond the subway’s hallowed platforms, Underway NYC now offers the same information but in app form & plotted to a subway map."
Viewing NYC - “[Underway] removes all the extra features & bloat of the transit apps and simply shows you how many minutes it is until the next train at your station."

The Weekendest is the only realtime New York City Subway map app, where you can track live locations of trains, lookup train departure times, and view service changes on a map, all on a single app.
From the Press:
"With one tap, The Weekendest identifies your location and current travel options... look ahead to transfers. 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. At a transportation conference in Brooklyn last year Sunny Ng unveiled an open-source creation he calls The Weekendest — a riff on the name of the MTA’s previous service-change map, called The Weekender." - Bloomberg CityLab
"To go beyond the MTA service alerts, you need to look at headways, which is the time between trains on a line. I can use The Weekendest to easily see where the trains are bunching or slowing due to issues and plan accordingly." - VICE Motherboard
From our users:
"Because of this app, I had the information needed to hustle to my train or make a connecting transfer, before a gap in service."
"MTA has planned weekend and night service and this helped me find an easy way home."
"Being able to see exactly where your train is minute by minute is unbeatable."
"Nothing else comes close to reliable realtime information for the subway, not even the station display boards."
