About this app

Transit makes it easy to get around your city. No more waiting. No more guessing when your ride will arrive – our app helps you travel by public transit in 1,000+ cities. With live departure times and real-time vehicle tracking, you’ll always know EXACTLY when your bus or train is coming. With Transit, you can get anywhere without needing a car:

• Plan the fastest route from A to B on public transportation
• Quickly compare options like bike + rail or bus + subway
• Get instant alerts about delays and disruptions
• Save your favorite destinations and lines – then plan trips in just one 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:

THE BEST REAL-TIME DATA: Using the best transit agency data, GO crowdsourcing data and our in-house ETA prediction engine, we get you the most accurate real-time info possible for all transport modes: bus, subway or metro, train, streetcar, ferry, rideshare and more. Prefer to travel on two wheels? See live bikeshare and scooter locations right on the map.

OFFLINE SUPPORT: Bus schedules, stop locations, subway maps and even our trip planner are available offline. When GPS is spotty underground? Use GO and you’ll still get precise ETAs.

TRIP PLANNING PAR EXCELLENCE: See fast and easy routes on buses, subways and trains, and even multiple modes in one trip (bus + bike or scooter + metro). Personalize your journey planner in the settings: skip long walks or the modes you’d rather avoid. It’s like using the MTA Bus Time, MTA Train Time, NJ Transit MyBus, SF Next Muni, CTA Bus Tracker, WMATA Next Arrivals, SEPTA app – all in one!

GO NAVIGATION*: Use GO to receive departure alarms to catch your bus or train, and get alerted when it’s time to get off or transfer. You’ll also contribute more accurate info and real-time ETAs for other passengers – and rack up points for being the most helpful rider on your line.

CROWDSOURCED WISDOM: See what millions of riders say about crowding levels, on-time performance, the best station exits, and more.

EASY PAYMENTS: Pay your transit fare and buy bikeshare passes directly in the app in 100+ cities.

*Continued use of GPS running in the background can decrease battery life.

Love this app for travel but there's one thing that makes it very annoying to use sometimes. The GPS is finicky; it can't tell when you're at a station depending on what entrance/exit you use. I've missed trains I could have caught because the app thinks I'm not at the station or not moving fast enough to get there, so it stops showing the soonest departure (which makes me slow down thinking it's delayed). MTA stops are big, widen the radius of the stations so the app knows we're here.

I really loved this app until the most recent update, which completely changed the ui and some of the functions. With the new update, it's harder for me to tell which bus I am taking and when it will arrive. While I'm on the bus, the app no longer shows me all the stops on the route. It does not show me the full route on screen, and it keeps zooming in to the bus no matter what I do, so I cannot see how close I am to my destination. The notifications now alert me after my stop and not before it.

Inaccurate bus arrival time has me missing work on so many occasions. It says the bus will arrive at a certain time, then will switch up and says it has already passed or will arrive 10 minutes sooner. Please fix this. Update: This new update is awful. The directions to scan for an all say pass are terrible, and they don't make any sense. It's so complicated, and for what reason? It honestly feels like the app is stealing from us. I wish it would just change back. Terrible.

What’s new

- Platform codes! Looking for a train, but aren’t sure which platform it’s stopping at?
- We’ll now show you the “platform code” associated with each departure in the ETA card (whenever the data’s available)

- Agency links! Are you riding with one of Transit’s 180+ partner agencies? Your agency can now set up a cornucopia of custom links for you to explore in Transit’s settings.

- Something bodaciously GO-dacious for 4M+ qualifying crowdsourcers. Stay tuned!
