Tip of the Week: Finding your nearest transit station

Posted on 21:15 by Unknown

In the spirit of this week's launch of transit info for New York City, here's a tip on how to get the most out of the trip-planning feature, especially if you live in a suburban or rural area without dense transit coverage. Try adding "station" to your search term; for example "huntington station" instead of just "huntington". This should help make sure we show any available routes, and is especially useful if you're commuting to a transit station by car, bike, or other means.
