Subway Status
Live line alerts across NYC subway divisions plus walk-time estimates from station to desk.
Use Subway Status to plan your morning route around known delays or service changes. The system splits the A Division (numbered lines like 1, 2, 3) and B Division (lettered lines like A, C, E), reflecting how the MTA operates them separately. Delays are grouped by direction and branch, so if the N line is backed up between 34th and Times Square, you’ll see it only on that segment.
Walk-time estimates are calculated using average pedestrian speeds from subway exits to nearby co-working spaces or offices. They factor in foot traffic patterns near major terminals like Penn Station or Grand Central but avoid overpromising by using city sidewalk width and typical congestion benchmarks. This helps you leave your stop at the right time to land at your desk within a reliable window.
Alerts appear in real-time via MTA service advisories, updated throughout the day. The view distinguishes planned work from, helping you decide whether to delay travel or adjust expectations. You can lock borough views—for example, watching just Bronx-bound 7 trains—without clutter from unrelated lines. The focus is on decision support, not exhaustive data dump.
