NYCMate is a straightforward application that lets commuters view the officially licensed Metropolitan Transit Authority New York City bus, subway and neighborhood maps. No augmented reality, no real-time info, just a free application that helps New Yorkers get around. “NYC residents and constituents have been in need of a free transit tool to aid them with all of their travel concerns for some time,” said Jonathan Glanz, principal and founder of Densebrain, which developed the app for the iPhone and Android platforms. “While we are obviously in business to make money, this seemed like the wrong product to charge for. We simply hope the city appreciates us giving back a bit.” Link to full story in Government Technology.
