6 GREAT THINGS ABOUT TRANSIT:

THE BEST REAL-TIME DATA
The app uses the best transit agency data sources — whether it’s SBB for nationwide trains, for regional connections, like VBZ (Zurich), TPG (Geneva), and BVB (Basel). We combine that data with our ETA prediction engine so you get the most accurate real-time info possible for all modes of transport — including buses, trams, trains, metros, ferries, ride-hail like Uber, and more. Prefer to travel on two wheels? With Transit, you can see the safest bike path and road to take.

TRAVEL OFFLINE
Bus schedules, stop locations, tram maps, and even our trip planner are available offline.

POWERFUL TRIP PLANNING
See fast and easy trips combining buses, trams, and trains – the app even suggests routes that combine multiple options in one trip, like bus + train or bike + tram. You’ll find great trip plans that you never even considered! Don’t like to walk a lot or use a certain mode or operator? Personalize your travel in the settings.

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.

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 station exits, and more.

EASY PAYMENTS
Pay your transit fare and buy bike share passes directly in the app in over 75 cities.

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.

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.

Constantly have to force stop when, after reaching one's destination, the app won't work correctly when attempting to connect to an adjoining route - it basically has to be reset (via force stop) to restore its normal functionality. Another bug issue is that you can only change the app icon color a few times before it "locks" and it can no longer be changed without uninstalling / reinstalling, which afterwards warns you you'll have to contact them if you uninstall / reinstall again. What a mess.
