** FEATURE DETAILS

TRIP TRACKING, STATUS, AND NOTIFICATIONS
• MetroMinder tracks every passenger train moving on the DC Metrorail system (on a separate MM server using its TripSync™ System) - which is used to derive/display data to help riders plan trips, track trip progress, and alert riders about trip status/progress.

Trip Tracking Screens include:
• Current/Next Stop Name
• Estimated Arrival Time
• Estimated Minutes Left in Trip
• Number of Remaining Stops
• List of Remaining Stops and the Estimated Minutes to Arrival
• Metro “Alerts” Relevant to the Trips Defined
• Progress Alerts/Notifications (e.g. “Time to Get Off the Train!”)

PERFORMANCE "HEATMAPS"
• MetroMinder DC provides color coded displays showing station-to-station performance of trains tracked by MetroMinder. Provides a great way to visualize current train performance and see the specific location of delays. No more need to guess whether that ALERT might effect your commute, just check the "MM HeatMaps"

TRACK OTHER TRIPS
• Users can monitor other trips tracked by MM by entering the MM TripId for the trip. Makes it easier to meet up with a co-worker, spouse, or friend or get picked up at the destination station - just tell them your MM TripId and they can monitor the trip using MetroMinder.

EQUIPMENT OUTAGES (Accessibility Assistance)
• Equipment outages are shown visually for stations w/outages (helps riders w/accessibility needs to plan their trips)

EXPANDED TRAIN ARRIVAL INFO
• MetroMinder provides arrival data for more trains at each station than other apps or even the Metro web site.
• Arrival data is shown for ALL trains moving the rider toward the destination - providing more options to plan commutes
• MetroMinder shows “Scheduled” Trains – after the list of available “live” trains.

“END STATION” PREDICTION DATA
• MetroMinder uses its live TripSync tracking data to derive/display arrival/prediction data for “end stations” (something not available from Metro or other apps) – further expanding data to help riders plan commutes.

DATA FOCUSED ON THE RIDER
• MetroMinder filters all data (e.g. tracking, alerts, prediction data, etc.) to show data pertinent to the rider's trip – helping riders quickly assess information (e.g. prediction displays show only trains moving the rider toward the target destination - eliminating trains going in the wrong direction.
• Displays show which trains are “Direct” and which would require a “Transfer” and only shows Metro Alerts related to the rider’s trip

CREATE, SAVE, AND LOAD FAVORITE TRIPS
• Users can save and load frequently used trips and name them whatever they like: “Home to Work,” “Work to Home,” or other frequent commuting options.

RUSH HOUR PLUS
• Provides full support for Rush Hour Plus (RHP)
