The Launch of Exit Strategy NYC
Benny and Ashley and I officially launched Exit Strategy NYC last night at the NY Tech Meetup!
Exit Strategy NYC is an iPhone, Blackberry, and Android app that answers the quintessential New Yorker’s question: “Where should I stand on the subway platform?” After months of full-time subway riding, we’ve created detailed diagrams for hundreds of NYC stations, eliminating the guesswork and frustration from subway riding. ![]()
The project launched with an article from the New York Times and quickly got covered by Wired Magazine, NY Post, NY Mag etc (full list of press here).
The locations of the subway exits and transfer points have never before been collected on a large scale in NYC. Similar projects have been done in Toronto and Tokyo. We’re extremely excited to introduce this to New York City.
Soon i’ll be writing more about the thinking behind this app and the experience developing across three different mobile platforms. But for now, buy it and let us know what you think…we hope you love it!
