If you want to see the value that Clever Commute adds, we encourage you to look at these examples from the last 24 hours.
Tuesday morning: a rider on Metra’s Milwaukee District North Line shared news of inbound delays.
Tuesday evening: a Purple Line commuter alerted us as follows:
Purple express South stopping at Sheridan for Elton John Billy Joel concert
Wednesday morning: activity on the BNSF
- Â 637 train out of RT 59 to Chicago is stopped due to a Naperville train stopped at Naperville station!
- BNSF Train #1230, scheduled to arrive Chicago Union Station at 7:44Â a.m., is currently stopped at Naperville due to mechanical problems…
- Â 657 out of rt 59 is delayed behind other trains
- BNSF trains are now moving
As we like to say here at Clever Commute “It’s good to know”….and once you are armed with info like this…you are better prepared for your commute.
A note on message formats: we encourage people to put thier entire message in the SUBJECT line of the e-mail. You’d be amazed at what can fit in 140 characters. (both of today’s ‘alerts’ would have made it…with room to spare).
“Too much e-mail”?…Not from us ;)
“Too much e-mail”?…Not from us ;)
A few weeks back, we told you about a new feature that would actively seek to find and eliminate duplicate messages in the Clever Commute system.
We continue to phase it in…but in case you are interested, here is an example from today’s commute (on NJ Transit Northeast Corridor Line – the largest commuter rail line in North America)
6:55 AM
HAMLTN 6:36 to NYP is now 14 minutes late. NJT says 18 minutes due to mech failure. Empty train blew by the station 3 minutes ago.
6:56 AM
646 out of PJ 18 minutes late
As you’d expect…the 6:55 message was sent along to the Clever Commuters…and the 6:56 message was suppressed.
Just one more example of how we are continually working to make Clever Commute better.
