As users of our Premium service, know, Clever Commute can be much more than a place for crowdsourced info. (ref: The five data sources)
And, as commuters know, the transit providers continue to try to share timely info directly with their commuters.
Clever Commute can bring both of these together in the app.
For years, “official info” was a Premium feature. But we’re considering making it part of the free tier.
Here’s an example:
Due to Wintry conditions on our commute, we have taken down the paywall for Clever Commute Premium features

Clever Commute is a small business. Funded and operated by a 5-day-a-week NYC commuter.
I have been doing this for 14 years...and I'm not planning on stopping anytime soon.

Scenario: I need to take an NJT train to work in order to attend a 9:00 AM meeting
Note: I am responsible for where I live…how I commute…and how much lead time I need for a 9:00 AM meeting in NYC. I just need the transit providers to follow their published schedules.
The plan: NJT Train Schedule (MoBo Line, Watchung Avenue Station to Hoboken) to PATH (Hoboken to World Trade Center)
Here’s a picture: Catch the 7:44 AM…get to Hobo at 8:20 AM…hop on the PATH…arrive in time for 9:00 meeting.
(Keep reading…)
Easy-peasy, right? Well…there are two versions of what happens:
| Published Schedule | Reality |
| Arrive Hoboken at 8:20 AM Walk to PATH and take the 8:23 train to WTC Arrive at the office in time for 9:00 AM meeting | Arrive Hoboken at 8:24 AM* Walk to PATH and miss the 8:23 AM Stand around and wait Take the 8:29 AM PATH train to WTC Arrive at the office too late to attend a 9:00 AM meeting |
Regarding the asterisk in Reality, above
| NJT says it’s a 33-minute trip. It’s not. I encourage NJT to be realistic about train #1002. Change the published arrival time to 8:24 AM. |
