I like the visual design (although I have some reservations about the time selection controls). Not so sure if the service is useful. I guess it all depends on when the notifications are sent out.
There are some different use cases here depending on who gets notified. If I enter some external interested party, the most important thing is telling them that I am delayed and what time I will probably be there.
On the other hand, if I enter my own email address or phone number, I want to hear alternatives. Perhaps there is a delay on one line, but not the other. Perhaps there is alternative transportation available (bus, taxi, bicycle rental etc.). Missed opportunities!
Emailing you details that are different from an external contact is an interesting idea. I'm hoping to extend the interface to allow you to choose your actual stations, so alternate routes are easier to calculate.
Cool idea - can it notify me if i'm going to be late
If it knows which journeys i regularly make. Let me know any hour before i'd usually leave that the District line is once again suspended from Upminster to Parsons Green? That i'd probably pay a small amount to know
At present that feature is available through the mobile app. I had considered that a value added service and as such you must buy the app. In addition to notifications you can also manage single journeys that you make outside your usual commute.
I was offering a pro account for just SMS messages, but I think that the pro account could also provide the email notifications about delays to your route as well as potentially informing you of alternative routes and other related delays.
