1. MobilePATH Download
2. What is MobilePATH?
MobilePATH is a mobile application which shows the PATH Train's schedule.
PATH train is a subway system which connects NY and NJ. A lot of people leave in NJ and commute to NY everyday taking this train. It runs quite accurate following the schedule, but the gaps between trains are vary upon the time or date. If you just miss the train, you might need to wait around 5min to 30min.
MobilePATH tells you about when next train and the next train will come. so, with this application, people don't need to wait their PATH train on the platform for a long time.
- This runs on Java Powered mobile devices. ( Sorry for Vrizon users. It will not work on your phone. )
- It doesn't need any cell-reception or wifi. It only runs by local data on your phone, so It works well even in the subway.
(*So far, it only works for JSQ-33st line of PATH train. I will update other lines later. Sorry.)

This application runs based on your mobile phone's clock setting.
Please set your phone as network operator time for the best result.
The error range is -+40secs(day time). So get to the station at lease a minute earlier.
The path schedule can be changed, and this application doesn't know if the path will be delayed.
5. Future Plan
Add other PATH lines ( Newark-WTC, Hoboken-WTC, Hoboken-33st)
Try to adopt it to NYC metro or other city's transit system
