Getting around New York is not that difficult even if you don’t have a car. The city’s transportation system covers many areas in the city. If you are new to the city, you may have to spend a bit of time getting used to the routes and ride options available for your area. These 7 iPhone apps help you get a better handle on New York’s subway system:
MTA Subway Time: provides you with real-time train arrival information for select routes of the NY City subway system. It could be even better with more data.
NYC Subway 24-Hour KickMap: provides you with maps for the NY subway system. It has a built-in compass and GPS locator. It works offline as well.
Roadify: offers official transit schedules with real-time arrivals. It notifies you of service alerts and changes. It does not work in every city though.
NYC Station Finder: not perfect but it can find you station entrances around your place. It is an augmented reality station finder that helps plan your trips.
iTrans NYC Subway: it provides you with subway and bus directions. It features subway/bus timetables, directions, advisories, and other useful information.
NYSubView Pro: another handy app that features real maps of all the lines and subway stations. This app is free at the time of this writing.
Embark NYC Subway: another app designed to help you get around New York more conveniently. It supports offline trip planning and has interactive MTA subway maps. When it is stable, it works well.
