We’re doing our best to keep the data volumes manageable…and will be enhancing our duplicate-checker soon.
A future version of the app will allow you to limit your alerts by
  • message category
  • duration of the underlying issue

Some alerts are only of interest to riders on the route where it happens. Other alerts are of broader interest. Clever Commute supports this need two ways

  1. Some users (including the Admin [Conductor Josh]) have the ability to direct an alert to a wider audience. These are the so-called Rail Warriors.
  2. Clever Commmute technolgy uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to automatically determine if a message is of broader interest.

In either situation, these cross-shared posts are labeled in 2 ways (see picture below)

  • The broadcast icon to the left of the route name
  • The word Source followed by the color-coded name of the route on which it originated
 

This alert was generated by a user who has
Montclair-Boonton Line as their Primary route.

…then you are one of us who are making the to/from to NYC when many others are on vacation 🙁

But we have good news!

Now that version 2.0 of the FREE Clever Commute app hit BOTH the Android and Apple app stores, we are adding features like crazy!
We’re up to version 2.1.5 (are YOU?)…and one cool thing for you to know about is the real-time departureboard.

We have gone way beyond crowdsourced alerts and we now take data directly from LIRR, Metro North and NJ Transit and put it right in the app…for FREE.

NJT riders get an added bonus: It’s personalized so that it only shows you trains you care about…and automatically shows you “AM” vs. “PM” views of he data!

Please check it out by clicking on the main menu in the app (the so-called “hamburger” at the top left of the screen).

(For now, we’re being quiet about all the neat new premium features in the app. More on that soon).

In the meantime, please use the app to share and browse info…and definitely let us know if you have any questions, comments or feedback (feedback at clevercommute daht com)

Thanks!
