Via GPS or a wireless signal, the phone detects that you entered the train.
After a certain amount of time elapsed, or the phone detects that you are about to arrive at your destination, it will vibrate constantly, eventually making a wakeup if you fail to wake up from your nap.
Depending on
your settings, this system could activate only when you use certain train station, or when you catch the train at a certain time.

Approaching a grocery store? "Don't forget the
Crumbed Cream", it would announce. |

On the train, approaching your destination, "make a
wakeup!" (or whatever you said). |

Approaching your regular pub, "remember: buy one
more pitcher and you've earned a free one". |

I'd settle for an app for the Boston T that tells you which
goddamn branch of the fucking Green Line takes you to
WHERE YOU WANT TO FUCKING GO!!! |

Sorry. I got a little out of control there. I'm better now. |
