Advisories

How often have you walked to a subway station, swiped your card, and waited for the next train to arrive, only to find out the train is running express this weekend?

There are few things more annoying than finding out about a subway service advisory upon arriving at a station, especially when it sends you walking towards another station or eek! Bus. SubAlerts offers riders a chance to get their advisory updates by scheduled alert or on the fly by sending text message request to SubAlerts.

Schedules

You're sitting at a bar on the Lower East Side on a Thursday night with some friends. You know you want to catch the F train at Delancey street before it gets too late and you feel more comfortable grabbing a cab back to Brooklyn, but you also know you would like to finish your drink. When should you take off for the train? Question no more!

SubAlerts wants to help NYC subway riders avoid long waits on the subway platform by letting them know when the next three trains are scheduled to arrive at their station. By sending a request to SubAlerts you can find out if there is time to finish your drink or take off before the trains start arriving every 30 minutes rather than every 8.

Community Alerts

It's Monday morning, you're already running late to work and you start to wonder, "Which train should I take? The 1/9 at Christopher Street or the A/C at West 4th?" You decide on the 1/9 and head to Christopher Street. When you are steps away from the station you see a flood of folks emerge from the station heading towards West 4th Street due to a stalled train on the tracks at Christopher Street. Had you known earlier about this situation, you probably would have picked a different line to get to work.

Community alerts provide subway passengers a chance to communicate with folks who share a subway line and stop. Offering riders an opportunity to share and receive messages about unexpected delays and updates not issued by the MTA allows passengers to make informed decisions about the routes they take on their journeys.
