Ideally yes, but most new yorkers only go on a few lines regularly. I've only been in the city for a month now, but going to lines that you've never gone to before gets a bit confusing.

#43I only see one problem with this: During rush hour trains, choosing the optimal exit location is a good way to not get on the train, because people that take the same line every day know where to stand.
Maybe a "Overcrowding" mode that does the exact opposite and shows you where the least crowded cars are likely to be?

#44I haven't bought it yet, but I probably will for my work Blackberry. A suggestion: mark where the elevators are for all the subways too. It would be useful for disabled people and also anyone carrying heavy items or bags. Hopefully you wrote down that information so you don't have to search all the stops again!

#45wow, great idea. I was in NYC the other weekend and this would have been handy.

#46I bought it, and I have to admit, I'm a little underwhelmed.
A basic subway map would have been useful.
For the extra points, a schedule would be wonderful.

#47This is great! I only wish I had thought of it first :)

#48Interesting idea - if I were you I'd figure out how to extend the software/engine behind this to support other cities before others become to copy the idea.
(and if you're already working on this, then kudos!)

#49Haha, that's great. Clever idea. Wish there was some kind of interface for those of us without smartphones who just want to look stuff up online, but that sort of defeats the point of having it as an app. Still, good idea.

#50I really like the video presentation. Short and sweet while being entertaining enough to watch.
yes, the video is good. but it's in flash, which means it can't be viewed on a real iphone.
