New York City launches a unified app for subways, buses, trains, and ferries.

New Yorkers no longer have to switch between multiple apps to plan their trips. The new free Go NYC app brings together information on the subway, buses, commuter trains, ferries, and airport transportation on a single platform. Time-out tells in more detail.

A typical trip around New York City often requires using several services at once. One is needed to check subway arrival times, another for the Long Island Rail Road schedule, and a third for tracking buses.

New application Go NYC is designed to solve this problem.

The service was developed by Brooklyn-based transportation technology company Axon Vibe. The project's main idea is to provide passengers with access to all the necessary information. transport information on one resource.

What modes of transportation does Go NYC support?

The application combines data on work:

• New York City Subway;
• bus MTA routes;
• Long Island Rail Road;
• Metro-North Railroad;
• AirTrain systems;
• Staten Island Ferry.

For many city residents, daily commutes require them to use several modes of transport.

The new platform allows you to plan routes and track transfers without having to use different apps.

Main features of the application

Go NYC offers city residents and visitors to the metropolis:

• information about transport departure times in real time;
• notifications about disruptions and changes in transport operations;
• multimodal route planning;
• information about the nearest stations and stops.

Users can also create "smart favorite routes" and stations, allowing for quicker access to their most frequently used routes.

Widgets for quick access

One of the application's features is special widgets for the smartphone's home screen.

They display up-to-date transport information without having to open the app itself. This should help passengers quickly access train and bus information.

Axon Vibe CEO Roman Oberli noted that New Yorkers use multiple transportation systems every day, yet their digital experience remains fragmented.

He said Go NYC was created to make the complex transportation network more convenient and understandable for commuters.

What will appear in the future?

The company has already announced further development of the platform.

Future updates are planned to add support for the NJ Transit system. The developers are also developing a bonus and discount program for app users.

It's still unclear whether Go NYC will become a must-have for most commuters. New York City already has numerous popular transportation services, and many residents are accustomed to using trusted apps.

Nevertheless, the developers hope that the ability to obtain all transport information on a single resource will be of interest to users.

The Go NYC app is now available for free download in the Apple App Store and Google Play.
