Pretty, but performance is abysmal.
Also looks like it changes the browser history on every interaction, ie any drag and drop, which seems, to me, to indicate some behind the scenes UUID tracking.

The main purpose is to show live updated route information.
I don't know why. It's updating the URL so that if you copy and paste it'll show the receiver the same view you have as the sender. They just need to be using history.replaceState to do that, rather than history.pushState.
And what is the sloppiness with the lines at DeKalb? Why is the out-of-service shading for the DNR under 4th Avenue this weekend so halfhearted? It's particularly hard to tell when the lines are skinny. I guess they were thinking of how good it was for Manhattan?
So tell me: when I click on tonight's map, what am I supposed to make of a one-way train service on the W, between Whitehall (where it usually stops) and 86th (which is not part of its usual route)? Is that actually a real thing? I am especially confused given that the more-information click takes me to a "look up service changes by line" page that doesn't show anything when I ask for service changes on the W.
And if the D train tonight is running northbound on 6th Avenue and southbound on 8th Avenue, why is the only unusual color displayed on 8th Avenue, given that people who catch the D expect it on its usual route under 6th Avenue?
I guess there's no hope for the F-diamond train but that probably doesn't matter much; I'm not sure it's even running post-pandemic...
This gets worse the more you look at it. A project manager wanted shininess, and they have it, but geez, can't anyone actually try to use the thing before showering it with praise?
