Metro Map
Real-time train tracker for Washington Metro
Overview
Metro Map helps you time your commute perfectly. See where trains are right now and when they'll arrive at your station, so you never waste time waiting on the platform.
Challenge & Approach
Nobody wants to wait on a train platform. If you arrive at the station at the wrong time, you just missed your train and have to wait 10 minutes for the next one.
Show a simple map with all Metro stations, lines, and trains moving in real time. Display arrival times for any station, and let people set alerts so they know exactly when to leave for the platform.
