Exit Strategy NYC Helps Navigate Subways [Huff Po]
Do you pick your waiting spot on the subway platform to minimize the walking time to your preferred exit at your destination? If so, you “pre-walk.”
Whether you know it or not, you probably already have some pre-walking routine established; for your daily commute, perhaps, or the ride to your favorite neighborhood?
For some people their pre-walking knowledge is a point of pride. It’s one of the many subtle ways new people acclimate to New York and make it their own.
Now, even that has been taken away from us. With this app even a tourist can pre-walk like a native New Yorker.
“This is the first time that something like this has been done on a large scale in New York City. Everyone has a little bit of data but no one has the entire puzzle,” says Jonathan Wegener, the app’s creator.
