It certainly looks and feels much more modern, but I’m most curious what was behind the decision not to emulate the LIRR’s app - that one’s awesome
TrainTime has different requirements though - it’s focused on schedules and ticket-buying (and does both of those things really well). The relaunched MTA app seems more about way-finding, trip planning, service status. For those functions, I’m not sure it does much of a better job than Transit app or Citymapper app (although certainly an improvement over Apple or Google Maps).
It also takes into account the official schedules, so I generally trust its routing.
What am I missing out on that the MTA app does better with?
