New York is a city home to a lot of people with different backgrounds and even some tourists. Having directions out for people who are unfamiliar with the route and streets to get around is an important feature to how transportation works in the city. I remember having to take a different route to a place I had never been before, true Google maps and such apps are really useful at times like this. However, my internet failed to work at that moment, leaving me to depend on the maps and directions posted on the walls of the subway system. I never thought that there would be a time in which such displays would be useful to me due to our technological advances. I looked through the map and figured out where to go and what trains to take for my travel to be safer and time efficient. I have started to appreciate the efforts of the mta and directional posters more often.
