Arrival times on DC Subway


So awesome! I found that you can get the Metro's next train arrival times on your phone! It's exactly the same data you see on those electronic boards on the platform – I checked it for the Courthouse station, and saw that I had two minutes to make the train, and I ran down to the platform and just barely caught it.

It's extra nice that the page is intended to be displayed in a popup – so it's a tiny download.

1. Google “wmata <name of your stop>”
2.The second link (usually) goes to a small page showing the train arrival board. You can also find it on the station's page.

If you have an iPhone with the Jan08 update, add that sucker to your home screen!
