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.

The app is very useful for getting around on public transport. I'd rate it 5 stars, except recently it started crashing/hanging a lot, so now I can't even complete one trip without having to re-enter the app and try to select my trip again. The app used to pick up on if I was on the bus or not, allowing me a nice trip where I didn't have to worry about the timing, because it would alert me 2 stops before the end. Now I have to worry that the app crashed, and reselcting the route doesn't help.

I use this 'cause my city, that once had a reliable app, redesigned it and after it was a fail they're now offering this app instead. It's barely OK, super clunky to use with infantile, annoying features that aren't useful. For example, there's a dumb seconds timer attached to each route, it just jumps up and down from 8 - 17- 12 -7 seconds etc constantly. It is super annoying, I'd like to turn it off! They clutter up the screen with junk too. I want clear and concise info, not gimmicks.

This app has changed my life and made it possible to actually get out and do stuff. It updates during travel, warns about delays and shows alternative routes. It's incredible! Very helpful when planning any trip. I can now do grocery and mail runs without getting lost, or waiting for hours for a bus. Please support it! Public transport needs all the help it can get!

What's new

- Secret update to our bike navigation that is not actually secret at all (but we’re keeping hush-hush about it until we add the final touches to our masterpiece)


- Fixed a bug in the space-time continuum that asked you “is your bus stop too dark?” when it was the middle of the afternoon. Turns out that sunsets are indeed a thing… thank you Sam D. for recalibrating our sundials.



Rate us five stars for saying “look mom, no handlebars!” as we pedal to the moon
