Looks great, but I can't install it on my Android Galaxy S2- it says my device is not supported. Would be great if I could try it out.
That's the best video I've seen yet!
Awesome interface, and accurate trip planning results. It's the best MTA app I've found so far! GREAT!
Looks great, when will you have other cities available?
Christine, we already have similar apps in Washington DC and London. And we have simpler apps for another 7 transit systems (BART, CTA, Metra, NJ Transit, Metro-North, Long Island Railroad, Caltrain).
Metro and cta need to be one app. Metro north, lirr, and NYC need to be one app too. If you made separate apps for all 13 SEPTA RR lines as you did with new york's measly two, then you should really reconsider what you are doing.
SEPTA is the best system hands down. They operate every mode of transit. There needs to be uniform with all your apps.
Go Embark NYC.
