What would happen if you combine string music with MTA train lines? No, not those typical music players that come to your train car or station. You have this interactive website, MTA.ME!

So what exactly can you do on this website, you may ask? Well, for starters, the colorful lines that are on the window are suppose to be the transit lines for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. These transit lines have unique colors that take you to various locations throughout the Tri-State of New York City. In this website, you see the transit lines moving around the window. When these lines come across from each other, a string note is made. You can hold your mouse and slash across these lines to make string note sounds and make some (somewhat coherent) music. The window also turns black when the time on the bottom left side of the window passes 6:00 PM. Also on that side shows the transit trains departures as they appear on the window.

The site uses some Javascript to make the string notes and moving lines appear at random from the window. If you have some time to spear, or just bored as heck and want to look at something pretty, I suggest checking this site out and see how amazing this is.
