Simple Subway NYC shows New York City's subway on a real map of the city, plans your trip, and follows your ride.

Every station sits where it really is, and every line is drawn from station to station in its familiar color, on top of an ordinary street map. You can see which neighborhood a station is in, which streets it's near, and how the lines run through the city.

SIMPLE BY DESIGN
No ads. No tracking. No account needed for the map, directions, journeys or browsing photos. Location is optional. For the map, Search and following your ride it is used only on your iPhone and is never stored. If you post a photo, where you took it is used to choose the nearest station and is kept privately with the photo; others see only the station.

Underground, GPS is often unavailable. Simple Subway NYC shows only what your phone actually knows: it confirms a station when your phone reaches it and never pretends to know more. Arrival times come from the MTA's real-time feeds. The street map comes from Apple Maps; maps, arrivals and photos need an internet connection.

Station and route information is based on MTA open data. Simple Subway NYC is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
