Future Work
This MTA trip planner is extremely useful for helping users find optimal routes efficiently. This application can also be easily improved and expanded in future. Suggestions for future work are listed as below.
- Current MTA trip planner is mainly focus on generating fast route on subway line 1, 2, 3. However, there are total 23 subway lines in New York City. This trip planner can also be expanded to other 20 lines.
- Since subway is one of the most important transportation vehicle in many other big cities, this project can also be expanded to other cities’ subway system.
- An mobile application can be developed based on current MTA trip planner so that users can access the trip planner from smart portable devices.
- More features can be added on our website. For instance, current website can be improved by adding login feature and allowing users to subscribe to the text message alert dynamically.
