I was excited to check this out, but there seems to be a zoom limit, which makes this too difficult to try to use on a (small) phone.

Just pushed some changes to make it a (little) easier to use on a small phone. Still far from perfect, but a little better!

Thanks! The larger fonts help. I still can't zoom in far enough to tap a specific station, unfortunately. Even my tiny fingers cover a half dozen stations in Manhattan or at least 2-3 in Brooklyn/Queens - so I get a random selection from nearby stations.

I must be missing something, though, because all it will do is show a station label when I tap a station. I've tapped several stations but don't see anything else to interact with. How are you supposed to get it to show travel times? (Using Safari on iOS 10, if that makes a difference.)

You need to tap a couple times — the first tap triggers the hover state (definitely not ideal for mobile). Unfortunately, it's a bit hard to hit the same stop consistently multiple times...
