The map also includes information on which stations have elevator access and whether elevators are operating. “This will save people time and make their lives easier.” “We’ve all had the experience when we get on the train on a Saturday morning, sit down, read a book take a look at your iPhone and then look up and see we’re at a different station than we might have expected to be at,” said Sarah Meyer, chief customer officer for New York City Transit, which operates the subways. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority on Tuesday debuted a live, web-based subway map that shows trains moving in real time and lets riders check for planned service changes, the frequent bane of weekend riders. It’s not a building, statue or museum - it’s the city’s iconic subway map, reproduced on millions of coffee mugs, keychains and t-shirts and known for confusing out-of-towners (and even diehard New Yorkers on occasion) with its multicolored tangle of lines. One of New York’s landmarks is getting an upgrade.
