Get alerted about service disruptions and delays for your favorite lines, and save frequently used locations for trip directions in a tap.
HERE’S WHAT THEY’RE SAYING "Gives you the best route to where you want to go" - New York Times “You won't realize how much time you can save planning until you use this app” - LA Times “Killer app” - Wall Street Journal "MBTA has a favorite transit app — and it's called Transit" - Boston Globe “A one-stop-shop” - Washington Post
AND HERE’S THE WORD FROM PUBLIC TRANSIT RIDERS “Your app was the deciding factor in selling my car.” “Blows Google Maps out of the water.” “The head of our local transit agency recommended this app over the one her agency created.”
6 GREAT THINGS ABOUT TRANSIT:
1) The best real-time data. The app uses the best transit agency data sources like MTA Bus Time, MTA Train Time, NJ Transit MyBus, SF MUNI Next Bus, CTA Bus Tracker, WMATA Next Arrivals, SEPTA Real-Time and many more. We combine that data with our fancy ETA prediction engine so that you get the most accurate real-time info possible for all transit modes - including buses, subways, trains, streetcars, metros, ferries, ridehail and more. Prefer to travel on two wheels? With GPS, you can see live bikeshare and scooter locations right on the map.
2) Travel offline Bus schedules, stop locations, subway maps and even our trip planner are available offline.
3) Powerful trip planning See fast and easy trips combining buses, subways and trains – the app even suggests routes that combine multiple options in one trip like bus + bike or scooter + metro. You’ll find great trip plans that you never even considered! Don’t like to walk a lot or use a certain mode or transit agency? Personalize your travel in the settings.
4) GO: our step-by-step navigator* Receive departure alarms to catch your bus or train, and get alerted when it’s time to get off or transfer. When using GO, you’ll also crowdsource more accurate info and real-time ETAs for other passengers– and rack up points and thank yous for being the most helpful rider on your line.
5) User Reports See what other riders have to say! With millions of users contributing, you’ll get helpful info on crowding levels, on-time performance, the closest subway exits, and more.
6) Easy Payments Pay your transit fare and buy bikeshare passes directly in the app in over 75 cities.

The app has a nice UI, but recent monetization changes have made it essentially unusable. They've made it impossible to see anything but the three nearest routes to your GPS location. At any transit hub, this means you arbitrarily might not be able to view a bus/train you're standing next to, and never one a ~5min walk away. NYC data is pulled from the public MTA tracker. If another Transit user is on a route, you get a live update, but it's rarely different and relies on them keeping users.

As long as riders are logged into app and the bus following the previously mapped route. Even if the transit system server is down and not sharing data. In fact, the app often updates bus position more frequently than the bus system server. You can catch drivers blowing past timestops. 😏 Enough riders just have to be logged in for the app to be quite efficient.

Excellent app. Real time tracking is excellent and much better than my transit agency's app (septa). My only wish would be the ability to change one's commute hours - it is 7-9am and 4-6pm exclusively, but my commute starts at 6:30am and 3:30pm so my options are either to receive service notifications at all hours or only after I would need them

What's new
As the mercury meter hops around like a jack-in-the-box, we’re bringing you a weatherproofed wagon of spring cleaning improvements, like:
- Better bicycle trip plans. More options, fewer overlapping legs/zigzagging portions, and stronger biases for bike paths and lightly trafficked roads - Added bathtub plugs and caulking to leaky strings in the UI, everything is pixel-perfect now
