About this app

Navy Yard Transit is one app for all your urban mobility and transit rides.

Designed by Moovit, the Navy Yard Transit app provides riders with a one-stop-shop journey experience to help them get from point A to B in the easiest and most efficient way. Get train and bus times, maps, and real-time arrival information with ease so that you can plan your trip with confidence. Pay and validate your rides. Find critical alerts and service disruptions for your favorite lines. Get step-by-step directions of optimal route bus, train, subway, bike, or any combination.

Commuters will find updated bus and train times, transit maps, and, where available, real-time line arrivals. Locate nearby bus stops and train stations, travel with on-the-go live navigation guidance, receive get-off alerts when approaching your destination to ensure a smooth ride.

► Real-time arrivals. View real-time arrival information, which is taken directly from GPS devices positioned on buses and trains. Avoid wasting time guessing train times or bus times.

► Digital payment. Purchase bus & train tickets and validate your digital pass with a tap (select cities).

► Real time alerts. Know about issues ahead of time by receiving service alerts such as emergency or unexpected disruptions, delays, traffic jams, new construction, and more so that you can plan ahead if your bus time or train time changed.

► Live Directions. Get step-by-step bus directions and other transit directions with live guidance from A-to-B: Know how long you need to walk to your station, view your line's arrival time, receive get-off alerts as you approach your destination, and more.

► Visualize Your Stop. Use augmented reality to locate your bus or train stop with "Way Finder".

► User reports. Users can report issues found with stations, line service, and schedules so that we can inform all nearby riders about what’s going on in their area.

► Favorite lines, stations, and places. Get easy access to lines, stations, and places you ride and visit all the time. Plus, get real-time updates if/when there are changes to your favorite lines in case your bus time or train time is impacted!

► Bike routes. Get bike routes in addition to the bus, subway, train, or metro trip plans. If you ride bikes (yours or shared) we can plan a route that includes the train or bus. The app will help you plan a trip that meets your transit-needs. Indego bike docking stations are updated in real-time. Bike trip plans are only available in supported metro areas.

► Maps view. Interested in seeing the whole picture? View all stations, routes, and lines on the subway or bus map. Additionally, maps are available in PDF for when you’re offline, or underground on the subway.

Ratings and reviews

Good bus service, but poorly designed app. The app's basic function of providing a bus pass works poorly, if at all ,when you need it. It wouldn't launch on Amtrak despite repeated tries. Activation window of 30 minutes isn't long enough for an infrequent shuttle. App is filled with non-essential information on Philadelphia transit, and consumes too much of my battery. Skip it if you can.

This app looks fancy but it's way less functional than the old app. I don't know what the estimations for when the shuttle is supposed to arrive are based on, because they are NOT based on when the shuttle actually arrives. The old app that showed only the locations around the app was way better. This app is so incredibly complicated, why would I use this when it's completely unreliable? It's so much worse than Google maps and doesn't provide me any accurate info on when the shuttle will arrive

Lost the functionality to see the current location of all Navy Yard Shuttles that the previous app had. This feature was the key feature for why I used it. Without the live shuttle location updates, compared with how frequently the shuttles ran late due to traffic, there will be alot more waiting around and wondering than before.
