At your service: planned NYC subway changes now in Google Maps
July 31, 2012
Since
first making New York City public transit directions
available in Google Maps, we’ve been working to deliver you with the most accurate and useful information about subway, bus, commuter rail, and ferry service across the greater metro area. Starting today, we’ll also be showing planned service alerts for the city’s subways, which serve more than
1 billion riders each year
.
Have you ever arrived at a subway platform only to find that the train you intended to take is skipping stops, rerouted on another line, or isn't running at all due to scheduled maintenance? Now when you click on any of the
468 New York City subway stations
labeled on Google Maps, you’ll see whether any planned service changes are expected to affect that station at the time. In addition, the relevant alerts will be included in the step-by-step transit directions pointing you wherever you’re going.

If you’re looking to find the best route to see a concert after work or checking for any expected delays when already running late, this feature works when you’re online via
maps.google.com
and
Google Maps for Mobile on Android
. To adjust your travel around the alerts you see, simply choose another suggested route or change your departure time.

We’re regularly
adding new cities
and
features
globally and looking forward to continuing our efforts to make travel by public transportation a better experience in more than
400 regions around the world
. For everybody who lives in one of New York City’s five boroughs, commutes in and out every day or is visiting for business or vacation, we hope today’s update improves the ease and efficiency of your trips around the city.
