Platform Pro is a simple, fast way to answer two questions about the NYC MTA Subway:
- When is the next train departing from the closest stations?
- How generally screwed-up is the train service right now?
Open the app, and you'll see a list of subway departures organized by time and distance to you. Swipe left to see active service alerts, and click on an alert to get more detailed information. That's... it! A stripped-down approach means virtually instant load times, no ads or bloat, and a one-click answer to the two most common commuter questions.
This app is *not* designed to replace full-featured navigation services. There's no support for trips or directions, there's no map interface, and I've included timetable info only from the MTA Subway (for now). If you're planning a complex, multi-transit route, use one of those other services. But if you know already know *where* you're going and just need to know *when*, use Platform Pro.
Feel free to request features and report bugs!
