Multimedia Packet Featured on New York Times

The New York Times recently posted a story on public transportation on the New York City subway system called The Curious World of the Last Stop.

Even though the story was well written, what truly made a difference to the story, especially for a reader who is not familiar with New York's subway system, was the addition of a multimedia packet. 

The packet is an interactive tour of the stops on the New York City subway.  Each image lets the reader explore in detail the different stops found on the subway.  

As the mouse drags over the image, it shifts from grayscale into beautiful and vivid colors.  

The packet also gives you the option of placing the images along a map, to visually enhance the understanding of the various routes.
