Whats my Train is back up and running.
We are also excited about a new feature NJ Transit has created. They now have a web-based departure board available for most stations. The two missing stations are New York Penn Station and Hoboken. Having a departure board available from NJTransit.com gives us interesting opportunities.
Example: Secaucus Junction
One problem we face daily is during our run to the train we always have to strain to find which track our train is on once we get to the NJT station. It would be much nicer if we knew beforehand! Well, once NJ Transit adds Penn station to it’s departure board service, we might be able to solve our problem. We could setup an agent that checks the online departure board, and sends us an SMS once the track has been posted! Imagine the time we could save knowing our track number before we even enter the station!
In the meantime, we’ll continue our daily ritual of pushing people out of the way so we can catch a glance for the track number…all the while daydreaming about what the future may bring.
