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.

Lots of apps can offer driving directions—but what if you’re not driving at all? That’s where Transit comes in. The travel planning app shows you how to get from point A to point B via train, bus, rideshare—and now even bikeshare and scooter. The app will seek out your best route, offer a few alternate options, and let you know how long you can expect to be in transit.

My GO-to transit app in Miami-Dade.

I been a fan since the days of its origins when the app was a necessity to track live down the busses. And although it was lucky matter to see a bus on live tracking since very few will be using it on the Go feature, the interface was more user friendly and the app didn’t freeze as much as the official one from the county. I never reviewed an app before and much less type this much but credit is well due on this one. Thank you to the entire team behind this app because the work you guys have put into it shows very well and make it worth a payable subscription. The new ticketing feature makes the cherry at top. I struggled with digital passes thru the official county app and all because I forgot to unlock my card one time for the charge and now it seems like my card is banned from direct onboard usage or even on the app to buy passes or credits. So transit now saves my life by not only allowing one way passes purchase that can be used later on another time but also digitalizing passes and takes any card on my apple wallet. Paying the subscription really makes it better app than the official one by interface and ease to get the info needed and to the destination! Congratulations guys for your great work, it is highly appreciated and valued.

The only transit app I use

I live on Long Island and have been taking buses most of my life even though I own a car. I prefer public transportation and this app is usually 100% accurate about bus times and trains as well. When I go to New York City, the app is invaluable. Most subways stations now have a timer to let riders know when the next subway is arriving but for taking the bus it’s accurate as usual. And when I travel to Philly, DC or Atlantic City, the app knows where I am and can also tell me when the next bus or subway is coming. My one complaint is that if a bus isn’t coming, the app lets you think the bus left it’s departure point and is arriving at it’s scheduled time and it doesn’t. For example, twice last week I waited for a bus to arrive and the app told me it was on its way and no bus showed up. The next bus, a half hour later arrived as scheduled. It’s not the app’s fault the bus didn’t show up despite there not being construction or detours (the app is good, not great, at alerting you if there are going to be delays due to weather, traffic or construction), so I had to make the issue known to the bus company and they resolved it. So I wish the app could tell me if a bus is coming or not even though it’s supposed to. I assume there’s some type of tracking on the bus but once the scheduled time came and went when I was expecting the bus there was no bus for two days, increasing my already long bus commute home. Still, it’s a solid app and customer service addresses my needs lighting quick. I have no other complaints. Friends from out of town who never use public transportation have come to rely on this app when they visit NYC. I swear by this app!

Bus arrival times are not always accurate - Update : and neither are the bus stops

I’m able to get enough use out of the app to not have to pay for the subscription at this time. But what really gets on my nerves is the accuracy of arrival times for the bus. Sometimes it gives me an estimated time that should allow me to get to my stop on time only for the bus to speed right by me several minutes sooner than the stated time. Other times it indicates that the bus is on the route only to find out that it’s not because it never arrived. I also noticed that sometimes the bus’s signal will disappear one minute and then reappear the next minute. I would give this app a five star rating if not for the problems with arrival time inaccuracy. This may be a problem having to do with the transit authority here but it still is very irritating, especially during bad weather like heavy rain or high temperatures. Keep up the good work developers and hopefully the transit system will be more accurate for their customers. Update: The arrival time accuracy problems continue. 1 star rating until this app and my local transit authority stops lying about the status of buses on the road. Update 2 : I ended up missing a bus because the app pointed me to the wrong stop. The bus I was going to take no longer uses the stop the app recommended. Although this may be the transit organization’s fault for not properly listing the routes on the sign. At least the app is improving on arrival times and warning about buses not in service. Fix the accuracy with stops and this will be a top ten app.

Thanks a lot for letting us know about this. While the arrival times and vehicle locations in the app are provided by our partners at the agency directly, we're working with them to improve real time departures. If you see this again, could you please provide us with a screenshot of the bad info you're seeing on the app, as well as a note on when the bus actually arrived? You can send it to us at review@transitapp.com. Thanks!

OK. So maybe our beloved Canada isn’t a soccer powerhouse quite yet. But if there was a shiny cup for being romantic about public transportation, the Transit team would be frontrunners every year — and you’d be our honorary captain. From fond memories of rides across the city, to your obsessive impulse to know exactly how much longer your morning commute is versus your afternoon one (it’s important, OK!) our all-new Trip History feature lets you run the tape back and look up stats for all your past GO trips. Once you enable Trip History in the settings, you can start tracking all the tracks you’ve travelled down, including: - every GO trip you’ve taken - the number of riders you helped via GO crowdsourcing - the rating you left each trip - what the weather was like - how long the trip took, how long you waited - top speed (wheeeee) and more For additional info, take a trip down your bus-filled memory lane: transitapp.com/en/features/trip-history We’ve also snuck in a few other surprises before the final whistle, like: - Helping partner agencies who are playing host to the football fiesta (in Vancouver, Toronto, Kansas City, Seattle, the Bay Area, and beyond) make it easier for spectators and regular city folk to navigate their cities, with little improvements here and there - Invisible backend improvements that let us swap real-time sources faster than before. (Has your agency made an on-the-fly fix to where their transit data is stored? No more stale data lingering in the app — we’ll now update to the new source in a few short minutes.) - Homescreen widget update! Our wee ol’ widget now lets you plan a trip in one tap for up to four locations — like home, school, work, and one other mysterious fourth place where everybody knows your name - Bug fixes, obv …and that’s it! Rate us five-stars if your favourite sport is throwing your hands up on the bus and starting The Wave
