TGIITF – Thank goodness it’s Inside-Track-Friday

TGIITF – Thank goodness it’s Inside-Track-Friday

We know that Friday feeling….so we loved to read this from a customer…

Thanks to Clever Commute I am hurtling towards home and not waiting for a bus with the huddled masses at Port Authority.

Why? On my way to the subway, I checked the alerts and saw that the bus station was a disaster. I then checked Inside Track and saw that there was a 6:41 PM train. By the time I got off the subway at 34th street, I had a text message telling me that my train was on track 4. I walked on…grabbed a window seat and will get home in time to go play soccer for the first time in weeks.

Commuting is easier with Clever Commute!

A great example of Premium benefits for bus riders

Our premium service provides a portfolio of features to suburban commuters. One of the great benefits of the service is that our users can monitor the issues on other lines…without necessarily receiving extra messages (e.g., texts or e-mail)

Here is a great example from January 23, 2014: Riders on 3 different lines each shared real-time info about a developing problem at the Lincoln Tunnel. Together, this info would be helpful if you rode any of the lines below…or even if you rode another. There is no other source for this real-time narrative!

Bus LineCommuter MessageTime
Coach USA / Suburban – East BrunswickDisabled vehicle in center tube of Lincoln Tunnel7:33 AM
Coach USA – FLOWBus lane stopped for a couple of minutes now7:34 AM
DeCamp – 33 & 66Bus lane dead stop7:38 AM

Here is what the commuters are saying

How to read this: Within each provider (Metro North, LIRR, NJ Transit, and DeCamp Bus lines) alerts are sorted by time (see timestamp in parenthesis) …with newer ones at the top.

There will be plenty more as the evening rush continues.

This page explains one or more of the dozens of amazing features found in Clever Commute Premium.

Seasoned commuters know that problems on other lines can foreshadow problems on their line. That’s why we built robots which consistently probe/scan the environment…in search of clues.

Our technology connects the dots…and automatically lets Premium members know when things are starting to go bad with the commute.
