an app
App Users
possible untapped resource
Location-Based Application Trends
74% get directions or other information based on their current
location
30% say that at least one of their social media accounts is
currently set up to include their location in their posts
20% get up-to-the-minute traffic or public transit info. to find the
fastest way to get somewhere
Findings on Transit Apps Apps can be broken into three categories
A static map, timetable, and status information
NYC Subway map app
NJ Rail app (MNR and LIRR)

Prototype of the proposed application
We would like to thank the CCNY faculty and staff for their continued support and encouragement: Dr.
Robert Paaswell, our capstone supervisor; Professor Alan Feigenberg; the program director, and Mr.
George Smith the program coordinator; we offer our sincere appreciation for the learning
opportunities. We are thankful for their aspiring guidance, invaluably constructive criticism, friendly
advice during the project work, and are sincerely grateful to them for sharing their truthful and
illuminating views on a number of issues related to the project.
Our completion of this project could not have been accomplished without the support of our significant
others and families– thank you for allowing us time away from you to research and write.
