Metro CSW Posted March 15, 2013 Share #1 Posted March 15, 2013 New York City Transit announced that it will move ahead with the second phase of a pilot project for On the Go! Travel Stations, adding at least 77 of the interactive touch-screen kiosks throughout the system that offer MTA travel information and a whole lot more. The initial pilot launched in September 2011 has been a success. Placed at the Bowling Green, Atlantic Ave-Barclays Center, and Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Ave subway stations as well as Penn Station and GrandCentral Terminal, the On the Go! Travel Stations have been offering customers information about their entire trip, from planning with Trip Planner+, real-time service status, escalator & elevator status and local neighborhood maps.

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted March 15, 2013 Share #2 Posted March 15, 2013 Where in the heck do they keep these things?? I think there's one in Grand Central but if it is it doesn't seem that visible... Then again I know where I'm going anyway and have an Android so I wouldn't bother to use it... Too many germs for my liking... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at the TV monitor down the stairs, and wait for it to display the changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CenSin Posted March 16, 2013 Share #6 Posted March 16, 2013 Just a magnet for vandalism.As long as they don't roll them out in certain areas it should be fine… Midtown Manhattan all the way to Lower Manhattan seems to be safe enough to invest in.

That dry skin is going to be more annoying than dirty skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I have a natural lotion that I keep in my office because yes my hands become brutally dry from all of that hot water and soap. Hate having it there but I couldn't deal with it after a while.
