DC Metro app for WP7: Metro Rail info for Commuters and Vistors Alike

>

It looks as if WMATA commuters were the next in line to get their own WP7 app that will help them navigate the DC Metro rail system. NY has one, so why not DC?


With the DC Metro app, you can check current arrival/departure times per metro line, service interruptions, and follow official tweets and other news from the metro authority. If you're a newbie to DC, the app will show you nearest stations and list all of the stops per line.


The latest version (1.1) of DC Metro fixes line color bugs and offers the functionality to save stations as favorites for quick station information without jumping through too many hoops.


This app is particular to the metro rail portion of the WMATA, and does not include bus info. Maybe the app can gain enough traction to add that portion in future releases? (hint, hint).


In order to do that, you will have to download the free DC Metro app for WP7 devices and spread the word and/or add that request in the review page of the app.
