NYC Maps – Subway, Bus, & LIRR 4+

I would give this app 5 stars. I really like the simple, elegant, snappy interface. However the subway map is quite outdated. The others might be too. It would also be nice if this app had the path, metro-north, and njtransit.

Simple and elegantly designed NYC public transit map app. Without fancy features the app does what it claims to do well: display NYC subway, bus and LIRR maps offline. One can seamlessly switch among them, which is very helpful when traveling by subway and bus. Suggestions: pls integrate MetroNorth’s map (commuter RR for the northern suburbs and metro CT), NJ Transit’s RR map (NJ commuter RR and its lite rail lines for Hoboken and Bayonne), the PATH trains (subway from Newark and Hoboken NJ to 34th St via the Financial District or Greenwich Village) and Staten Island’s small “subway” run by the MTA. Wish list: the ability to re-arrange the square icons of the maps on the main screen so one can place icons for the maps one uses the most first, and the absolute icing on the cake would be integration of the MTA’s street-level neighborhood maps that show unparalleled detail of neighborhood landmarks and attractions around the transit and bus lines overlaid on street grid for each NYC neighborhood served by the subway. Thanks again for a simple, offline map app.

I found this app accidentally browsing and was so happy to find a simple version (no location asked, no routes offered or other annoying things). All I always needed is just a map to look at when commuting in NYC area. A huge plus is a library of other maps (bus, rail and biking) which I had to google before whenever needed. Thank you so much for this convenient and simple source!
