NEW YORK—The Weekender app was launched by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) on Monday, allowing iPhone users to search conveniently on their phones for public transport information by line, borough, and station.
The app, available to download free from the Apple App Store, includes the latest updated service changes with summaries on how it will impact boroughs and stations. The application also includes a subway map that shows locations of nearby subway station entrances and popular destinations. Popular features on the MTA website—such as Trip Planner, Metro North, and bus times—will also be on the app.
Some Andriod users, however, may be experiencing disappointment.
“Getting an app for the Android is definitely our next activity,” said Aaron Donovan, spokesman for MTA. “It will happen as soon as we can, although there is no time frame.”
