STILL GREAT – CityTransit - Official NYC Subway Maps Review

this is the first app i purchased when the iphone was introduced and has remained on my home page since then. They have tweaked it over the years and added some stuff. But the basic app has remained the same. I am a bit Manhattan centric because that's where I live. Some people have complained that it was missing a new train stop or doesn't show bike lanes these are minor things. I have seen applications or websites that purported to tell you when the next bus or train will arrive. That is nonsense. All they are doing is interpreting fixed schedules which have no relationship to reality. That might be useful in another city if you wanted to know generally what is the interval between stops. My only complaint with this application is that in order to update a service advisory you have to tap on a button at the top. And if you're not careful to check, that could be a problem when you arrive to find some train or bus not operating. i would encourage the developer ( I would have done this if they gave contact information on their website ) to either have the application automatically update when it is opened or use the Apple rubber band pull down to refresh service information.
