Problem
Commuters in the New York‑New Jersey corridor often rely on static schedules or delayed information, making it difficult to plan trips across multiple transit services such as PATH, Hudson‑Bergen Light Rail, MTA subway, LIRR, and Metro‑North. Inaccurate or outdated arrival times can lead to missed connections, longer wait times, and inefficient travel.
Solution
Timli aggregates live arrival data from all major transit providers in the region and refreshes the information every 30 seconds. The web app lets signed‑in users monitor several stations at once and uses the device’s location to surface the nearest station card automatically. By presenting up‑to‑date departure times in a mobile‑friendly interface, Timli enables riders to adjust their routes in real time, reduce wait periods, and improve overall trip reliability across the NY‑NJ transit network.
Target Audience
