NYC gets ‘traveller friendly’

Touch-screen kiosks called "On the Go! Travel Stations" will soon be arriving at 16 New York subway stations. The high-tech devices will provide service advisories, step-by-step transit and street directions and information about escalator and elevator outages. They will also offer information on local landmarks, nearby restaurants and neighbourhood maps. The kiosks will be installed by the end of the year at stations still to be determined.
