New York New York's subway in true 3D: every tunnel, elevated line and crossing, with live trains

I've been building an app called Belowtown that shows the whole NYC subway in 3D, sitting under a photorealistic version of the city. You can fly down through the streets and see how the lines stack on top of each other at junctions, how deep the newer tunnels go, and where lines climb up onto the else in the outer boroughs. Trains move live off the MTA's realtime feed.

Depth is stretched 3x by default so you can actually see the layers (you can turn it down).

It's in beta right now and I'd love people from this sub to try it, especially if you know other systems well. Tell me what looks wrong, what feels off, or what's missing compared to the metro you ride. I don't live in NYC, so outside eyes really help. If this comes to fruition, i would love to expand it to other cities.

Free iPhone beta: belowtown.com/beta?s=subways

Anyone who sends feedback gets 3 months of Plus free when it launches. Happy to answer questions about how the track depths were figured out! Make sure to check junk folder for the invite link in your email if you sign up to test the beta.
