New app tells you nearest subway exit to your destination

ntttttttttttt

Tokyo Metro Co has begun testing a new application for smartphones which lets users know the nearest station exit to a destination they are heading to.

n

The new app uses radio-frequency transmission so that it can be used in locations such as subway stations that do not receive GPS.

n

Currently, test operations are being implemented only at Omotesando and Nihonbashi subway stations until mid-March next year.

n

Tokyo Metro will expand the app to include more stations when it officially launches the service.
