"The enclosure supports a large screen with a colorful display, offering passengers information about their entire trip, from planning with Trip Planner+, real-time service status, escalator & elevator status and local neighborhood maps. In addition, the MTA has partnered with third party developers to include applications which provide additional information, such as local history, shopping and dining options nearby provided by Zagat, myCitiApp, and History Bus. As added features, the screens provide news and weather information."
