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

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.

Very handy and helps with my daily commute. Helps me coordinate my travel and notifies me of any metro changes. If nothing else, it at least saves me some time over using Google maps with an interface specific for metro travel, vs the plethora of information Google maps provides like venue reviews and personal driving info. Plus, I feel I am helping by answering questions about my route which helps other commuters.

I've had a lot of good experiences with the Transit app, showing me where buses are and decent if not entirely optimal routes to my destinations. However, the negative one kind of dominate my perspective and rating. I looked up a route for someone else, and for the next 20 minutes I got a notification every minute that the minutes decreased. It was extremely annoying. Please fix. There seemed to be no way to stop it.

Hi, sorry this is happening; we're here to help! Could you send us an email from inside the app? That will give us a debug report so we can address the problem. Open the app, tap Settings (gear icon), then tap the Transit logo (on the right of the 3 icons), then Email Us. Thank you!

Fantastic app, always works so far, live bus & light rail times are great! I'd like to search for trips with combos like Bike & Bus, ebike & train, scooter & bus, not just walk & bus. I also wish it included long distance ground transportation like Amtrak, Greyhound etc. for trip building. Still ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ To Devs, THANK YOU for creating such an Intuitive & USEFUL app!

What's new

Our release notes writer is taking some time off. Before leaving, he texted every Transit employee an inscrutable hyperlink.

Turns out it’s no phishing scam: it’s a map of our bard’s bagel-fueled bike trip, coast-to-coast across the USA. Hopefully his bike experience comes in handy for next release notes…

Transit writer? More like bike rider amirite ha ha come back soon we are not very good at writing these without you

Also, bug fixes.

Rate us 5 stars and send our cycling scribe some love
