Spring 2018 Makeover

Spring 2018 Makeover

by

We gave this site a facelift. The goal was to organize the content…remove the legacy…and make it easier to find.

We hope that this new look helps tell the story…in way that is also mobile-friendly.

If you are wondering about hashtags

There is a dedicated field on the Participate page where you can add a hashtag.

Those hashtags can be seen via Recent Alerts by tapping on the alert…which opens additional details about the alert (the hashtag, the speed of the train/bus when the message was composed and the relevant train/bus station).

If you choose to add a hashtagged word to the contents of alert you composed, our technology will likely convert it to to a I just want to vent. At a minimum, the message will be held for review by our moderators.

However, if you compose a message and incude a hashtag as a way to identify a train (e.g., #6214), Clever Commute technology will treat that the same as if you used the picklist to identify your train.

Finally, the user-generated alerts are sent to Twitter. If it will fit within the 140 character limit, they are tagged with

  1. #clevercommute
  2. the name of the transit provider (e.g. #LIRR, #NJTransit, #MetroNorth)
  3. maybe an ad (see below)

Your daily Commuter Forecast is one of our favorite features…and we’re going to make it even better.

Summer of Hell has been a time of tremendous growth for us…and it has exposed a few opportunities to enhance and fix things.

For now, we are not automatically sending it to you. However, you can always run it via the main menu of the app.

We are always working to improve the service we provide. We recently implemented over 2,000 enhancements and fixes…and have published 18 new versions in the last year alone!

(We know that some users are experiencing issues with this feature…and resolving that is a top priority)
