This video may just push me to get an iPhone. It’s a video of a yet-to-be-approved iPhone app that calculates a user’s location and shows the nearest subway stations. It will be available from acrossair as soon as Apple approves it, and you can drool over it find out more information right here.

They already have an app that does the same thing including giving the latest service advisories. It’s a great app called iTransNYC
I don’t think iTrans does what the video is showing.
I was wondering if anyone could figure out exactly where they filmed the video, triangulating from the various listed subway stops.
Broadway on the (G)?
From 12:01 a.m. Saturday, July 18 to 5 a.m. Monday, July 20, there is no C service due to Jay Street station rehabilitation and construction of the underground connector. A trains replace the C making local stops between 168th Street and Jay Street and F trains replace the C between Jay Street and Euclid Avenue.
I don’t understand this rerouting. The C doesn’t separate from the A until after Hoyt-Schermerhorn; what does Jay St have to do with it?
Because of the Jay St. work (presumably on the tracks that the F normally uses), the F is rerouted to Euclid Ave., replacing the C.
D’oh, missed that part entirely. Thanks!
The stopping pattern I just saw on the 4 is different from this given by your post. Heading downtown, the 4 ran local, at least from 68th, where I got on; heading uptown, it ran express from Brooklyn Bridge to 14th, but then made all local stops. The conductor said that the 5 would provide express service north of 42nd instead.
As it says in the post, these are alerts as I get them from the MTA and are subject to change without notice.
Yeah, weekend travel is pretty much a crap-shoot. You take what you can get.
Looks like whoever wrote up that alert accidentally substituted “express” for “local.”
