The New York Subway Typing Game is a game where you learn the route flow by entering the English station names of the New York Subway in order. It helps to understand the service letters, numbers, and Uptown/Downtown directions before travelling.
The start of the New York subway typing game
In New York, first decide on the service and destination station you need for your trip and then select the route. If you enter the English station name directly, you can recognize it more quickly when you encounter the same name at the entrance, electronic signboard, or on the train.
Identify service letters and numbers rather than color
New York Subway may operate multiple letter or number services together within the same color. Learn the station order through the game, but when actually boarding, be sure to check the symbol of the service you want to board and whether it stops at the destination station.
Distinguish between Uptown and Downtown directions
In Manhattan, north and south directions are often indicated as Uptown and Downtown. It is important to get into the habit of looking at the locations of the departure and destination stations on the route map before playing the game, and checking which direction the platform takes at the actual station entrance.
Check the difference between Local·Express
Express trains may pass some stations, so memorizing the station name sequence is not enough. Use games to remember routes, and give priority to electronic display boards and the operator's latest stop information during actual travel.
