For those of you not cruising around with an iPhone or BlackBerry, you can now get train directions on the fly.
NYC Transit will begin offering a free automated phone service Friday that provides bus and train information, officials said. “Trip Planner Voice” will provide 24-7 directions based on an address, intersection or landmark. Hopefully, it will become the Hop Stop for the cell phone set.
“Finding the easiest and fastest way to take a trip should not be a chore,” Transit spokesman Paul Fleuranges said.
Transit now provides directions to an average of 4,500 riders a day through their call-in center. The new automatic service is meant to reduce wait times, official said.
To reach the service, call 718-330-1234. Transit also offers on-line trip planning at www.tripplanner.mta.info.
