Google Maps Wraps NYC Subway

During our morning commute today, we were excited to see that the shuttle train between Times Square and Grand Central was newly wrapped in decorative plastic. We told you about the first fully wrapped subway last month, when the History Channel dropped an estimated $95,000 for a month-long run.

Google bought the space this month (the track 1 train, which is most visible), and advertised their new maps dot google dot com/nyc application, which most directly competes with sites like HopStop and the MTA’s trip planner.

See the train above, and learn more about the product after the jump.
