5 GREAT THINGS ABOUT TRANSIT

THE BEST LIVE DATA: Using the best transport agency data, GO crowdsourcing data and our in-house ETA prediction engine, we give you the most accurate info possible for all transport modes: including the Underground, Overground, buses, coaches, trains, trams, ferries, ride-hailing services like Uber and more. Prefer to travel on two wheels? See live bikeshare and e-scooter locations right on the map.

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

JOURNEY PLANNING PAR EXCELLENCE: See fast and easy trips combining buses, trains and the Tube, and even multiple modes in one journey. Personalise your travel in the settings – skip long walks or the modes you’d rather avoid.

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

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

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

Ratings and reviews

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.

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.

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

We’ve been blazing away the artificial daylight hours, the hour for shining the spotlight on our January bébé has not yet arrived.

You’ll have to content yourself with bug fixes this time around!

Keep your eyes on high alert for something that lights up detours, delays, skipped stops, and track changes at the most timely times. We’ll have more to say in the next update ;)
