Taking care of people: in the American subway navigator application, stations with a large number of rats began to be marked (4 photos + 1 video)

Now users can find out about the scariest stations and plan their route.





In Paris there are bedbugs, in London there is an infection that causes diarrhea, and in the New York subway there are rats. The arrogant rodents feel right at home and are absolutely not shy about people. Moreover, they may attack if they think that the leather one is interfering with their daily life.

However, now the Americans have been taken care of: a new function has appeared in the subway navigator application. Each passenger can find out how many rats live at a particular station or choose a station where there are practically no rodents.



Of course, the main function of the Transit app is to show bus and train arrival times, delays and station cleanliness, but thanks to user feedback, riders are now more aware of subway issues. Thanks to the NYC Subway Rat Detector feature, anyone can leave information about rat activity by estimating the number of rodents at a particular station from “none” to “so many.”





Thanks to reviews, each station and passage in the subway now has a separate rating. By the way, the most “rat” station has already been named “191st Street” between Broadway and Seventh Avenue.



The problem with rodents in the American subway has existed for a long time and, it seems, there is simply no way to solve it. New Yorkers sadly joke that rats have already become a symbol of the local subway. However, like bedbugs in Paris.

New York rats are so smart that they have learned not only to take away donuts, but also to share them with their relatives
