Arrival times on DC Subway

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008 | iPhone | No Comments


So awesome! I found that you can get the Metro’s next train arrival times on your phone! It’s exactly the same data you see on those electronic boards on the platform – I checked it for the Courthouse station, and saw that I had two minutes to make the train, and I ran down to the platform and just barely caught it.

It’s extra nice that the page is intended to be displayed in a popup – so it’s a tiny download.

1. Google “wmata <name of your stop>”
2.The second link (usually) goes to a small page showing the train arrival board. You can also find it on the station’s page.

Like this: Clarendon

If you have an iPhone with the Jan08 update, add that sucker to your home screen!
