Agent Station Finder

URL:   Agent Station App The New York City subway has 468 stations serving 24 subway lines more than any other system in the world. Riding safety requires you to have customer information steadily available. The person who can provide that information the best is a MTA station agent representative. Instead of asking the question "does this train station have an agent"?, use the station agent informer. It will give you update to date information, that states the capacity in which the agents are serving the desired station.

This application was developed to be apart of the MTA App Quest competition. The objective was to get a remote csv file from another server. Once the csv file was attained, it would be placed inside of a data structure. The data structure would contain all the information from the mta. The data structure would be filtered to reflect the data that best represented station agent information. The user would interact against the data filtered data structure in several ways. Either they would use geolocation or provide a specific train route. That interactivity would further filter the data structure and display that information against a Google map.

Code Snippet

 // creation of marker text. The more elements this would require a loop
		var lat = info[5]; 
		var lng = info[6]; 
		var stationname = encodeURI("" + info[1] + "
");
		var corner = encodeURI("" + info[7] + "
"); 
		var zoom = "&zoom=17";

        // these variable will hold the images if found.
		var entrance = encodeURI("");
		var exitonly = encodeURI("");
		var staffing = encodeURI("");
