Google Maps allows you to look at public transit route options and compare them. It’s actually pretty accurate!

Thanks I’ve been doing this but didn’t know how accurate it really was!

Yeah the PATH actually runs on the posted schedule so that part is always super accurate. The subway does not but because it comes so frequently even if its off by 2 minutes the overall trip is still pretty spot-on. I’ve lived in NYC for 15 years and still use GMaps whenever I’m going anywhere lol

The only thing it’s not good for is giving you options that combine transit+walking. Sometimes not transferring to a subway and just walking is about the same as 2 trains, but it doesn’t show you that as an option.
