You may have already seen or heard of this app, but it might help tremendously during TBEX. It’s Exit Strategy NYC
Exit Strategy is an iPhone/iTouch app that will make your trips around New York much easier. There are also versions for Blackberry and Android however they are the Lite versions.
First, it works underground. Very important in a subway app.
It lists the current subway maps. They have a license through the transit authority to use the actual (read current) maps
It also displays all of the bus routes. City buses not the hop-on hop-off tourist ones.
It shows you which car on the train to get on. This helps you get to the right exit stairway quicker. Think of yourself being the one person that needs to go out the right stairway and all 200 others are going out the left one. Don’t get stuck like that.
And best of all it also shows you where the street level entrances to the subway stations are. Ridiculously awesome.
