'Citymapper' and 'Transit App' Offer In-Depth Looks at Transit Experiences on Apple Watch

It's just a joke. (And a dumb one, sorry!)

But the biggest problem with the people mover it's almost useless. It doesn't go to and from places people want to go to and from. As you found, the best reason to ride it is idle amusement, and then only if it's free. It's like the guy who keeps up a boat but has trouble scraping together the rent and doesn't even live near a lake.

If Detroit was a dynamic growing city, it could find its use. Since often major buildings, services are built next to transit hubs.

If such a thing say went Broadway - 42th - (Park or Madison) - 57th (the central part of upper midtown) in NYC It would be fully occupied all the time (they may even need to make the buggies double sized . Though, people movers, but the way they are made, never look as full as busses or subways even when they are used, just by the way they move people around.

The built-in app gives you walking directions without even having to look at the watch. You get silent haptic taps, two different kinds to indicate left and right.

Do we know that for certain? What I understood from the September event was that it simply was something like one tap to turn right and two taps to turn left (or the other way around). I know everybody is assuming that there will be different kinds of taps for this, but nowhere else in Apple's watch information does it say that taps can be different in nature or do they describe other features that rely on different kinds of taps.

If you live in a big city you likely know how to use the system even if you are an irregular user. It's a boon for visiting other cities and navigating their systems you aren't as familiar with. You do travel, right?

Yes, I do travel... But it's even less likely to work for me in Costa Rica than in Detroit.
