New Yorkers will no longer have difficulty finding alternative routes in the event of a metro outage. Thanks to the new application, a trip to the metropolis will become less confusing.

Citymapper, an application for transport created in the UK, uses artificial intelligence to calculate a new route in response to warnings from MTA. The program reads the message and uses the relevant information to suggest a clearer re-routing and to avoid problems.

Citymapper differs from other similar applications like Google Maps and Transit App in that it processes messages in real time in order to provide passengers with a better route.

If you are traveling in the city center by train F from 63-th Street, and the MTA sends a similar warning: “Because of FDNY, 23St is canceled for trains B, D, F, M between W4St-Washington Sq and 42St-Bryant Pk in both directions. " Citymapper application Provides more concise and clear directions, figuring out which routes are available and which are not.

Application that won MTA's App Quest challenge in 2013, available for iPhone, Android and web browsers. Since its inception for London and New York, Citymapper has appeared in many US cities, Latin America, Europe and Asia.
