Clever Commute continues to evolve to meet the needs of its users.
The app gives me immediate knowledge to meet the challenges of my commute and avoid as many of the inevitable surprises as I can.
It gives me the advantage of timely information before everyone else has it!

Fredrick H shared this:

It completely changes the way I commute.

Jeff F said:

Clever Commute has been a life saver for several years now. But with the release of the app, it has become even easier to be in the know about what’s happening with my line and Penn Station in general. I have current, actionable status at my fingertips no matter where I am.

From Marc S:

I have been using Clever Commute since it began. It’s been invaluable in keeping me informed about the status of my trains, but the new iOS app is great.
As I was getting ready for a fast getaway on Monday before the storm, I was getting real-time status reports from other commuters.

Rider David G gave us this:

Posting to Clever Commute has never been easier and the notification alerts ensure that I’ll never miss an update.

Veteran commuter Eric W said:

I have been a clever commute user for about 2 years and have been waiting for an app.
Not only is the app easy to use, but the pop-up notifications ensure you never miss a commuting issue!!

Steve O gave us this:

I use Clever Commute every day when I’m commuting to and from New York on NJ Transit. It’s an invaluable tool that I use to keep my commute as efficient as possible, especially on days when there are delays. Being informed is the best weapon to avoid stress in your daily commute and Clever Commute delivers.

Adam J feels this way:

Bad bus day @ PABT + helpful mobile phone app notification from Clever Commute = winter commuting a little less painful and a lot more informative

From Patrick M:

Commuting is tough. Clever Commute makes it better.

Lawrence H shared:

The information provided by the Clever Commute app is extremely timely and informative. It was so important to receive notices quickly to get alternatives so you can still get home in a timely manner during the blizzard of 2015.

Nancy C put it this way:

A quick and easy way to both send and receive commuter updates.

Loretta H summed it up:

Here’s how I feel about the app: The Clever Commute app is like tweeting for commuters.

This is great to hear from a beta tester:
(more info about the app is here)

I just used the app to send my first alert – very easy, and I prefer it to using my email. It’s easier to open the app on my phone and send (rather than open email and search for Clever Commute email address). And I like the automated sorting of the alert categories.

Something fun: the ability to vent about the commute

Something fun: the ability to vent about the commute

October 1, 2012 by Administrator

Vent-ing lets a commuter share an otherwise-inappropriate message.
Any active user can send a vent (steps below).
However, viewing these messages is done exclusively via the app...and is a Premium Opt-In only feature.
Vents are not sent out as mails, texts, or push notifications.
We do post some of the best ones via a special Twitter account: @clevervent

One of the best features of the free Clever Commute app is the ability for commuters to
share real-time messages with fellow passengers  (e.g., to let them know about things that impact the current commute).

We usually encourage people to stay "on-topic" and keep the comments constructive and actionable.
Yes - we have filters which usually check for duplicates, profanity and other restricted keywords.

But...sometimes you simply gotta let it out. Now, when you use our free app, you can!
Here are the steps

To Send a Vent To View Vents
  1. Open our app
  2. Select Participate
  3. Set "(1) What do you want to do?" to
    I just want to vent
  4. You can skip app steps (2), (3) and (4)
  5. Use the "(5) Tell us a bit more" field to er, let it out
  1. Open our app
  2. Select Recent Alerts
  3. At the top of the page, select the box  for "Include I just want to vent"

 

Give it a try. You won't offend us.  We're all adults here. Go ahead...you can:

  • curse a blue streak
  • say what you really think about the transit provider's service
  • let off steam regarding conditions at your station
  • ...and generally vent about what's bugging you on the commute

The message will not be  subject to the filters and best practices...but then again: it will not be sent out (e.g., mail, text or push notification) to your fellow commuters.

Vent just gives you a place to let out "a digital scream".... because sometimes, it just feels better to get it off your chest.

Of course, if you really want to help your fellow commuter, then please install and use our free app.
Join the tens of thousands of people who who have made Clever Commute a part of the fabric of the daily commute.
