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

It’s “one-stop shopping” and “know before you go”. Here is some of what you get:

  1. a jump on fellow commuters :). You’ll have track number history & track posting time predictions.
  2. performance metrics (e.g., on-time departure stats)
  3. overall system stats…based on the departure board
  • The Commuter Forecast is much more powerful once you have set your MyTrains preferences
  • Not all features are available for all transit providers

After his free trial was over, this commuter converted to the paid version:

I’m most impressed by the timeliness of the alerts. I receive the official NJ Transit alerts, too, and Clever Commute is consistently faster and usually more informative. The analytic for predicting the most likely track is helpful when I’m traveling outside my normal routine. Obviously I already have a sense of which tracks my usual trains are going to be on, but it’s been handy when I’ve worked late or when I’ve come into the city on weekends.

Inside Track + Social media = Better info for you

Inside Track + Social media = Better info for you

Summary: Some transit providers do a decent job of sharing real-time information via social media. We have integrated the best of them into our premium service.

Our approach: Clever Commute uses their data in our service for your benefit. We do not share any of your personal information with others. Users of The Inside Track service can now view this information in its own “window” via our mobile solution.  We show you:

  • The official Twitter feed from your transit provider (e.g, NJ Transit)
  • The official Twitter Clever Commute feed

We show this data in two places:

  1. A new menu option on our web portal.
    (To see it, click on the Gears menu option (top right) and select Twitter Timelines.)
  2. Your personalized Evening Commuter Forecast [details coming soon]

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!
