"Several voices on Twitter pointed out that a digital MTA map, arguably superior, already exists. At a transportation conference in Brooklyn last year Sunny Ng unveiled an open-source creation he calls The Weekendest — a riff on the name of the MTA’s previous service-change map, called The Weekender." - Bloomberg CityLab

Comments on Subway Now: Live NYC Train Map for Android
★★★★★Ross Keong· Aug 20, 2025
This app is such a game changer! The NYC Subway system is volatile and unreliable, so it's incredible to see all the relevant information you need in an intuitive, cohesive format. Allows you to quickly strategize on the fly based on where you are and what trains are close by. Also, great that the information is dynamic, so if trains have partial line jumps at certain times, the app reflects that. A great alternative and upgrade from the often glitchy and slow-to-load Transit app!!
★★★★★Dan Africk· Apr 8, 2026
This app is truly awesome. It has a slight learning curve before you 100% understand all the features, but once you do it it's amazing. You can see the trains moving between stations in real-time, so it really helps with transfers, catching trains, and deciding between options (for example between the express train and the local). Don't let the low download count scare you, this app is legit. It's the best kept secret for navigating the subway system quickly and efficiently.
