It looks pretty cool. What are some good use cases for it?

I think a (the?) major one is that of providing riders with real-time information about closings, reroutings, etc., that was previously pretty hard to get without physically being present in a station.

And then there's me, watching the trains enter and exit the stations in real time. :-)

So thoroughly glad to be among the group of remote workers who do not need to ride public transportation anymore.

Imagine funneling a volume of sardines through a similarly voluminous tube-- that's public transport in NYC

Oddly enough, I'm a remote worker who is trying to move to NYC to enjoy the crush of humanity in the subway. :-)

I will +1 you for following your dreams, whatever they may be!

Hope you will enjoy the city "as it once was" many decades ago when the physical space was more adaquately portioned for the population!

I would imagine that would be the subway in any city as densely populated as NYC

At least singapore keeps it clean, despite my hatred for non-private transport. NYC does a great job of cramming humans into close proximity with literal bubonic plague rats
