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:

1) THE BEST REAL-TIME DATA
The app uses the best transit agency data sources like MTA Bus Time, MTA Train Time, NJ Transit MyBus, SF MUNI Next Bus, CTA Bus Tracker, WMATA Next Arrivals, SEPTA Real-Time and many more. We combine that data with our fancy ETA prediction engine so that you get the most accurate real-time info possible for all transit modes - including buses, subways, trains, streetcars, metros, ferries, ridehail and more. Prefer to travel on two wheels? With GPS, you can see live bikeshare and scooter locations right on the map.

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

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

4) 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.

5) 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 subway exits, and more.

6) EASY PAYMENTS
Pay your transit fare and buy bikeshare passes directly in the app in over 75 cities.

Information on this app is horrible and inaccurate. The point of the app is to see the transit updates in live , real time . What do this shows is the Schedule of the transit which is rarely correct . Deleting asap

Good

Excellent app for public transport

santosh srivastava pune on

This is an excellent app. You can pay using thus app. This give route and real time bus schedule.

Good in theory but some bugs

Alesair on

I like the app and use it every day I commute. However if I use the Go function when my phone (iPhone 15) is on the Lock Screen it doesn’t update the time unless I go back in. It could say 36 minutes wait on the Lock Screen but when I click in it’ll be 26 minutes. It would be good if this kept up to date. Otherwise it doesn’t really serve a purpose for me.

great app

google classroom takedown on

just a really simple map to get throughout nyc

Normally great, has started asking weird questions.

butchydoe on

Love being able to actually know where busses are and when they’re arriving. Huge quality of life improvement. Not so keen on the new questions it asks about stops and busses. Transit regularly delivers surveys to users with questions about the quality of infrastructure. I’m more than fine with reporting on a bus stop lacking accessibility or shade. I’m not okay with dinging a bus stop for the presence of graffiti as some kind of value ‘safety’ judgement. I don’t care if there’s graffiti! I can’t decline to answer without exiting the entire survey.

Still many bugs that need to be fixed

FabulousRice on

I wish that instead of rolling out you questions for users about the cleanliness of bus stops, making us work for free, they fixed some of the usability issues I’ve been having for years. The speed at which I walk is superior to average peoples. Therefore I cannot rely on the app when it tells me I will miss the next buscit is actually not true. If I ever get in a bus that shares a route with other buses, then navigate away from transit, I will each time miss my stop because the app is stuck on the “ which line are you on” dialog box, and doesn’t show me notifications to get out, and when I go back to the app and select which line I am on, it tells me I should’ve gotten off 10 minutes ago. And if people are consistently answering all the questions about the buses and the bus stops, give them a Transit + subscription! It’s not that hard

Battery drainer

Sk8erGrl4691 on

App is helpful but would be more helpful if it didn’t drain my battery like crazy and if it gave notifications if a bus is gonna detour or otherwise not be available

Needs upgrades like the subway system

cbkli on

It’s not consistent especially during my commute back home. It doesn’t know my location and I can’t tell how long the G train will take to arrive in the evening. Otherwise it’s fine.

Inaccurate

A. Mazziotti on

I tried using this app instead of my Maps app, because it seemed more convenient, until I was waiting at the bus stop for over half an hour for a bus that was coming in “6 minutes,” more than 5 times. When I checked my Maps it quoted me over 45 minutes, so I went home, and came back, and Maps was the accurate estimate. That’s when I deleted the Transit app. I live in Spokane County.
