New York City's Second Avenue subway gets MTA On the Go kiosks

February 1, 2017

New York City commuters now have access to four digital MTA On the Go kiosks with eight digital screens to better schedule, plan and map out trips across the city, according to a press release. The kiosks are located at the three new Second Avenue subway stations.

As part of a public-private partnership with the MTA, Intersection, the company that manages the LinkNYC project and developed the media platform for OTG, worked with CIVIQ Smartscapes and the MTA Capital Construction/NYC Transit teams to install upgraded kiosks. Features of the new kiosks include:

• Sleek new design with dual-sided displays (displays on the previous model are single-sided);
• Two-port charging station on the side of each kiosk;
• Each display is isolated from one another and operates off of its own computer;
• Upgraded computer and touch controller; and 
• Updated trip planner application to support the Second Avenue stations that allows riders to better schedule trips to and from stations, with an updated map to include the new lines and scheduled arrival, departure and service advisory information
