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.

Too much junk. Too slow to load. There is way too much going on in this app. I was using an app called Swiftly to get San Francisco BART times for my commute and the Transit app company must have bought them out because Swiftly no longer works and gives a link to this app. Okay, so I gave it a shot. Firstly, the app opens onto a map view with a bunch of bus/train and other transit stops dotted all over it and there’s no way to navigate to a particular station until the data loads. This is really frustrating for me because sometimes I like to check the train times when I’m already at the station in case the first train that comes is crowded, I can decide if it’s worth waiting for the next train or squeeze in with the crowd. The station I use is underground with poor reception and no GPS so I can’t actually use the app to quickly check train times because the map data has to load to be able to navigate in the app! I used Swiftly because I need an app to quickly look at train times for a particular station. This Transit app is bloated and slow and it was too difficult to set it up in a way that quickly gave me the information I wanted. I’m very sad that they bought out and took away a competing app that was better. I use EasyBART now and I pray these guys don’t buy them out next

Apathy by 1000 cuts. I used to like this app better, and still want to like it, but it’s slowly wearing me out. I know that it is a 3rd party app and is only reliant on the information it obtains from local transportation agencies, yet if that information isn’t reliable, then this app isn’t reliable. I’ve read some of their responses to other reviews and I think it’s a cop-out for them to just say “sorry, we’re a third party app.” I’m sure its frustrating to rely on unreliable information from agencies like the notoriously inept mta (which will say on the marquee that a train is coming in three minutes for over five minutes or longer), and I hope their sources of information get better. In the meantime, be aware that this app isn’t that reliable, especially with bus schedules. The times listed are frequently wrong, it will say buses are coming that never show up, and the most annoying to me is that they will show a bus icon “in real time” on the map, on its way to your stop, then suddenly, it will disappear. What happens to these phantom buses? I still leave super early to give myself time for bus and train delays because I know I can’t rely on any posted info. The dream, though, is still that, one day, one of these apps will be good enough that I can save myself some time while still making it to school and work on time. Unfortunately, they’re still not there and whether or not it’s the apps fault or the mta’s fault, whats the difference?

Pay Close Attention. This app is essential for my travel to and from college. I've noticed however that the time it tells you to leave is way too late every time, and I end up missing the bus by a minute or two. Even leaving earlier than the recommended departure, I will miss the bus. Not only that, but it has no way of alerting you when you've taken the wrong bus. It says "Unplanned Detour" which is really inconvenient for someone new to public transport who doesn't know the stops for other buses. You'll believe you're on the right bus and there IS a detour, maybe because the stops are correct up until a certain point when really the app just can't track you because you're obviously not on the route of the bus you were supposed to take. Please find a way to fix this. I don't know if you could make some sort of route recognition that would know if you've taken an actual detour or if you're simply on the wrong bus. On top of that, it gave me an estimated arrival at my destination, changed to a half hour later. All when the bus was the WRONG bus. Why on earth would there be an estimated arrival for that, if the bus is never getting there in the first place?

The app is smart. Then it’s stupid. Then it’s smart…. Great app. When it shows what you’re looking for. There are times, like every day, when the route it shows, is going in the opposite direction that I’m going in. So I move the purple pointer around on both sides of the street. It still doesn’t show the route for the direction I’m going. I keep moving it around, further away from the street I’m by. Eventually it shows what I’m looking for. Other times, it shows the current route, but not the exact location (which I don’t normally need). This is fine, but why sometimes and not other times? Is it the bus operator’s fault? The transit agency? And then if you do want to report a problem, they want all of the details. Ok, but the same problems keep occurring. Do the people who designed the apps (all of them) ever actually use them? I am firmly convinced that the people who design the systems used by regular people, never use the systems themselves, nor do they consult the end users.

This app does not work. This used to be my favorite app and I would tell everyone about it. There was nothing wrong with it it worked just fine. Then you guys updated it and the update is completely horrible it doesn’t work most of the time. Today I received a notification of a delay that affected my route to work. When I clicked on the notification it took me to the app and did not take me directly to the notification. I wanted to read the full notification but was not able to. When I went to the actual notifications portion of the app this particular notification wasn’t even there! On top of that all the notifications that were there were three days old! I have the app set to notify me at all times as well as I use this train the most. What did you do to make this app not work like it used to? Who’s in charge of testing this to make sure everything functions properly? Once again I’m giving you one star and if I could rate you zero stars I would. This app disappoints me daily now. It’s a shame. It was a BRILLIANT app before and worked almost perfectly and there was NOTHING that needed updating and you’ve succeeded at completely ruining it.

Super helpful with public transit. I’ve been looking for an app to help me track public transit times (specifically, NYC subway and bus times). I’ve been using mapping apps to do this for a long time but they don’t always have accurate arrival times. Transit is specifically designed around public transit and shows you local stops on subway, train, and bus lines. The best feature is the ability to have it track your bus or train in real-time so other people can see it’s actual position. Really a game-changing feature when you consider how often the official arrival times are off or just difficult to find. My only complaint is that if you get on a bus that doesn’t show up on the MTA’s app (for technical reasons) then your bus won’t shop up in the Transit app, even when you turn on real-time tracking. Hopefully they fix this issue soon. Very satisfied with these app as it really does the best job of helping you track bus, subway, and train times.

Great App. This app has helped me so much this summer to navigate the city. I think it’s clever that it uses other riders to help locate the buses in real time. The issues I have riding the buses are mainly with the Nashville bus system than with this app. One thing I wish were better is if the app gave extra warning or let you know the bus stop is on the opposite side of the road. I’ve found myself with not enough time to cross the street, watching the bus I wanted zoom by. I also have issues planning a route on occasion. I have to refresh multiple times to see all possible routes because the app only shows 3 at a time. It’s also not always possible to see when the next buses are coming once you’re at the navigation page, in case I like the route, but want to take the next pass. It is also not possible to edit a route once you start, which would be great if I wanted to get off at a different stop. Lastly, it takes way too long for the app to figure out the bus I’m waiting for is never going to show up. It just keeps updating the arrival time for the bus, making me believe the bus will be there, while I should be looking for a different way home. Other than that, it’s a great app, works better than google maps, and has saved me multiple times!

definitely a one stop shop. I’m from the DC metro area but I go to college in NYC and I use the same app in both places, it works accurately in either city. If you’re serious about shaving minutes off your commute then I don’t really know what your needs are, but as someone who just wants a 2-5 minute buffer when I’m checking when my bus comes, this app is incredibly accurate and fits my needs perfectly. Currently using it in DC and the app even shows me real-time where I am on my own bus, including upcoming stops. I was wary about this feature because I use a line that has a lot of minor stops that are really closely spaced, so I thought that by the time the stop showed up on the Transit screen my bus would have already missed it, but it was accurate down to me seeing us pass the stop as the app said we were going by it. I love this app and unless some update makes it ridiculously hard to plan travel on it or something, I plan on using it for a very long time!

This app will strand you, unless you pay. This app is only for the well off transit users. The most reliant users, the poor and homeless are at the mercy of a capricious AI that doles out stale and low efficacy rider information. It is much more than pinned routes. This leads to poor decisions from inappropriate and stale information presented by the app. Such as not showing relevant bus availability options at the stop the rider is at or making a transfer. Meaning the information that is shown is hard to assure as accurate and there’s not enough to make an informed decision. The charity options that Transit graciously provides is behind access barriers. Individuals living under severe financial constraints don’t have the means to satisfy or uncover the obfuscated charity. So Transit satisfies its needs by providing ill fitting rider information and showing the needed bus information just on the other side of a paywall. Probably expecting the poor to surrender what little money they have to a subscription. There is no transparency to alternatives, except call this avarice out in a review. This not designed to help the needy, it is designed to satisfy the business. Feedback on these policies have been sent through support and previous deleted reviews

Nickel-and-dime Capitalism. This is probably one of the best and most versatile public transit apps out there, sadly, at least in the US, most people dependent upon public transit are on the lower end of the socioeconomic scale and while the fee assessed by the app to not be worthlessly crippled should be reasonable, it’s nigh absurd that the poor are once again being nickel-and-dimed for the crime of poverty, and to use an effective resource for traversing *public* transit, especially in dense and often confusing urban environments. I already understand the counter argument: where value exists, it’s “reasonable” under capitalism for it to be extracted, and the app assuredly provides value, but I remember when it was free and it does feel against the spirit of public transit to have to pay for resource to optimize utilization. Should public transit apps for the systems themselves be better in the US? Yes. But it’s beyond hope as we privatize everything, sadly.

Decent App but too many inconsistencies to justify a subscription. I definitely like the layout of the app. it’s far better than the official Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit app. However, many times the Transit app shows “tracked” GPS arrival times, but then the GPS icon disappears and the bus never shows up. Transit app developers say that it’s out of their reach because they get the GPS tracking from the agency, but when i go to the official agency app, i don’t see the bus even on their own GPS tracker map. Also, there are many times i see GPS tracked buses on the agency app but not the transit app and vice versa. Overall, I have to go to three different apps to get a somewhat accurate time table. I toggle through the transit app and the official agency app to see if the times are consistent, then because of the national driver shortage, i go to the agency twitter page to see if my route has been cancelled for the time slot, because the transit app won’t alert you of any bus cancellations. Because of all this, i can’t justify paying for this app. I would pay if the app was more accurate.

Great app to use for travel ( concerned about this tho). Ya’lls app is pretty great! I have used it ever since I upgraded my phone 4 months ago 💯😎 Really helpful with bus trips, train trips and travel in general! 💯 This app is almost perfect 🤩👌🏾My concern is when I opened the app today and saw a notification saying ( I will have access to to nervy lines and times until September 13th) PLEASE DON’t TELL ME YA’LL ARE PULLING THE “MONEY CARD” ON US USERS FROMS YEARS AGO TO NOW!! Please don’t make the mistake of making people pay money just to see lines and times, that’s stupid, that should be free for everyone, otherwise your app would be useless to download, I beg ya’ll to think on this, your app is good the way it is, and a lot of people rely on it for travel, including me who is a college student who commutes 💯 Please don’t be “greedy” like other apps and take away the reason why people down load this app in the first place 😭💯 Tour app is great, if you haven’t done that change to this app by then and beyond I would gladly give a full five star rating 💯😎 PROMISE 💯💯 Thank you for reading 💯

Love it when riding the busses. This app is great! Not only does it help me get a better ETA when I’m going somewhere but it makes sure I get there at the time I want to be there. Personally enjoy seeing the map show where my bus currently is and the notifications to remind you when to get off is very helpful. Prefer to give 4.5 stars because I do have some feedback for improvements if the team sees my review. I just recently bought a Apple Watch and I know it has compatibility with the app but I was somewhat disappointed. I was expecting a smaller menu on the app so you may pick from a list of favorites and have the app give you the ASAP option for when you go. So when I’m on the bus or waiting instead of looking at my phone to see when my bus is arriving by the minutes or when to get off I could look at the watch and see oh it’s going to be here in 4min I should look out for it. And I should be off in 2 stops... I think just a minimalist menu be nice not just nearby line options. If it had this I would give 20stars!

New Royale system. So I see there is a new system for the app upcoming. I have been using the app since I was a freshman in high school and am currently a junior, this App has been pretty accurate as new schedules are established but the new system will unfortunately make it difficult for students like myself to navigate using the app, seeing limited busses and may make it almost as inconvenient as using the papers distributed on the metros for their schedules. I do understand that this may become costly for the developers over time to run the app and I am fine with ads such as little bars on the top of the screen that roll but aren’t obnoxiously in the way but enough to gather funds from users that don’t have sufficient funds (teenagers/poor adults) to receive reliable; accurate times of the busses and keep the ability to see future busses later that day or other days. But I would like to thank the developers of having an app I was able to use for a few years now and it has been great for navigation thus very useful when you are trying to get around without a vehicle in the city.

Best App and Best Transit App. I have used this app for years, in multiple cities and it always gets me where I need to go. Started using it when my kids were going to be using public transit to get to middle school (the oldest will graduate high school this year). I would ride with them then use public transit to get to work. Transit let us know when we HAD to leave house and if I could squeeze more out of the snooze button. We have visited several different cities on vacation over the years and always check Transit to navigate for sightseeing so I don’t have to drive in an unfamiliar area. Their coverage is great and it is rare that we haven’t used the app (so far only towns that don’t actually have public transit). But the BEST thing about the app is the updates and the update notes. I would keep the app just to be able to read the witty update notes even if we didn’t use public transit. Truly a five star app backed by passionate dev team and organization. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

Won’t be able to use app once upgrade takes effect. I have relied heavily on this app for years for my commutes into Manhattan. It has been a huge help for planning my commutes especially to go into areas I’m unfamiliar with. Unfortunately I won’t be able to use the app anymore after the paid subscription takes effect. I will not be able to access literally any routes that take me into Manhattan. These are the only public transportation routes into Manhattan. The bus stop within a literal 5 minute walk from my house that I rely most heavily on will require a subscription to see its schedule. I will only be able to access 2 local bus routes (which are further from my house and I do not need to take). I cannot afford the paid subscription. I understand they need to make their money to run the app, but restricting every single viable transportation app from free use seems unfair. It seems like they see an opportunity to large profits now. I’ll have to find a new app now because I won’t be paying for this app. Such a shame. I recommended this app to a lot of people but I’ll no longer be using or recommending it.

Widget issues. Please read.. Update to my original review. If you have already updated to the new version of the transit app and suffer from the issues I mentioned below remove the modern widget from your screen, and reboot and the old widget should reappear. At least in my case it took a couple of reboots but once it reappeared it has stayed. Hopefully this will get resolved in the next version. My original review is below explaining the situation. As of version 5.9.0 they have taken away the classic widget that provided the nearby departures for your location without opening the app. The modern widget they replaced it with not only fails to provide this information but it is also set up with a color scheme that is not accessible for people with visual impairments as well as the elderly who may be dealing with contrast issues between colors. Why they believe that light green text on a medium green background is a good idea I do not know. Lastly for users of the voiceover screen reader the buttons inside of the widget for the most part are not labeled. If the issues I mentioned above affect you I strongly recommend not upgrading.

I appreciate great developers 😊. As a 10 year iOS developer myself, I really appreciate good user interfaces and experiences while using an app. Transit app has not only been super helpful in getting me where I need to go in a timely fashion, but it’s a fun social way to travel with features like the “leaderboard”. To be able to see how many other riders and commuters you’ve helped along the way is pretty awesome. Keep up the great work. I’d like to see better features regarding how accurate the app is “real time” bus updates as sometimes I’m not even aboard a bus and the app may tell me “it looks like you missed the bus” when in fact the bus is simply late, so there should be some options to not start a trip until a rider either hit “start trip” perhaps making this an option as with my commute I take 4 different buses, so while the app will show me the exact route sometimes it’s off in regards to whether or not I am actually aboard a bus. Overall wonderful app and I look forward to its improvements!

A little annoyed. I can only give a 3 star rating because I’m currently annoyed with the new layout on this app. I don’t need a sophisticated app to see where I’m going and how long it will take or I will need to wait. Before the new layout I could add a saved location where I normally pick up transit (I can still do that), but before I could click on that location and see ALL of the times the bus would come to that location. I would then time my trolley ride to coincide with the time I needed to be at that stop for the bus with minimal wait time. NOW with the new SOPHISTICATED app I CANNOT do this which leaves me with my current ANNOYANCE AND FRUSTRATION. I shouldn’t have to take so much time trying to figure this out when I’m already in a rush and now I have no idea when the will come at my saved location in 2 hours when I arrive there. Thanks a lot transit app! What’s the point of saving the location when I can only see the current time the bus will get there and not ALL of the future times?? Please fix this issue.

Worst transit app ever. I’ve lived in a lot of places and dealt with a lot of bad public transportation communication, and this is by far the worst I’ve ever seen. This app is not intuitive at all and is overall extremely difficult to use while telling users very little information. There’s no schedule listing when the bus will stop at each location, and when trying to look up directions, the app–I assume trying to be helpful?–moves your location away from where you are. There’s also no consistency in how it looks up directions, and it often calculates the wrong travel time, contradicting itself more than once. The font is small and doesn’t adjust to device settings, making it extremely difficult to read the directions. The only marginally helpful feature is the real-time bus locator, which does not work consistently and is difficult to find in the app. It also constantly gives pop up notifications of the same messages, which is just annoying and distracting. I would give constructive criticism, but I don’t even know where to start. Just throw the whole app away and start over. Don’t get this app, it will only frustrate you.

Not bad but could be better in some ways. Usually this app is accurate but lately I’ve been noticing some inaccuracy. Sometimes it tells me that a bus is coming in 1 minute but I end up waiting for 10 minutes. Sometimes it says 0 minutes but then the wrong bus comes. I like this app for the most part but I also have a few feature suggestions. I really wish this app had an easy option that guides me to the bus stop or train station that I’m looking for. I’m not very good with directions, and I often have some trouble finding bus stops and train stations that I’m looking for. Sometimes I find myself walking in circles just to find the bus stop or train station that I need. I wish there was an app that uses GPS that can guide me to easily find specific bus stops and train stations in the direction that I want to go. I really want to travel more and I’d feel more confident about it if I can minimize the chances of getting lost.

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.

Super helpful, some additional features would be nice. This app is pretty useful, I appreciate the voice notifications telling you when to get on/off a train & it’s the most accurate I’ve found for transit departures. That being said, a few things would be helpful if improved: - Inability to see different line departure times from the GO screen. I want to be able to click on a line directly from the GO screen and see when the next train is (if I miss it) or all the stops. - Missing lines. I’m in the greater Boston area and Google maps has information on smaller shuttle routes that run infrequently but regularly that I often take. This app only has MBTA data so it doesn’t have any of that info & I find I still have to use gmaps. - More multimodal options. This one is pretty niche so I don’t expect much, but bikeshare is often much faster than buses where I am, and I wish I had more options that replaced the bus section of a bus-subway transfer with bikeshare instead of having to use 2 separate gmaps trips.

Not as good as it used to be. I used to really enjoy this app. Some things made it less usable in the latest iterations. First, based on the schedule, if a train has departed from a station, I can’t click on to check the schedule; I have no idea when my train will get to my destination, nor can I see if we are on time at the en-route destinations. Sometimes the train is two or three minutes late, and I want to see details, but can’t. Second, before, the entire schedule for the entire day could be displayed if need be. This functionality has been deleted; it only shows trains going forward, which, again, prevents me from checking the schedule of the train once I am on the train. Finally, since I’m a NYC area user, the train is often underground and this I have no signal. I am certain that the older versions uploaded more nearby train schedules, so deep underneath the East or the Hudson Rivers, my connecting schedule will be available. This is no longer the case. I have reverted to using multiple other apps that can accomplish the same thing, but it definitely is not as convenient.

Which Direction RTA?. The Transit app does not tell you whether to catch the bus going N, S, E or West. So, 4 buses passed me by while I thought I should be taking a bus to a location Southwest of me and walked 3/4 of a mile to the intersections of the main streets that would get me there. The app showed the bus route numbers but not the direction or something like “stand at the NE facing bus stop. Another passenger tried help me understand where the app was telling me to walk to (looked like another mile away) then we asked the bus driver who stopped to pick her up. He told me that I had to ride back downtown and transfer to another bus that would take me in the direction I was going. So, I got on his bus to be taken to the hib. Having to go 24 minutes back to the hub then be taken back another 54 minutes (at least the app tells you the time it will take) is ridiculous when my destination is only 3.8 miles away. And, the app could at least give you explanations ABOUT bus routes so that you know a route no longer exists or “all routes depart from the hub, take the bus headed South” as an explanation underneath the number of the bus the route tells you to take. Until those kind of useful information, rather than just walk icons and bus route number are displayed on Transit, it will never get above a 1 rating for me: people helped me, the app did not.

Great App but Why start charging $$$. Only logical explanation is some company bought out u guys thinking they can turn this app into a profit not considering A)People have using this app for free for years NO ONES GONNA PAY U. B)Most people that use public transport generally are of the lower to middle class mainly the poor so almost NO ONE IS GOING TO PAY for this app along with bus fare ($25 is a-lot of money just for a bus schedule most TAP Cards for Metro out here in LA average about $70 a month depending on where you live). And C) There’s a message in the app where y’all explain how you’re now charging a fee so that you don’t harass your users with ‘unnecessary ads’ BUT if you’d actually thought about -money aside-I’m pretty sure EVERYONE -users including myself-WOULD PREFER ADS that way y’all get your $$$ and people like me continue to use the app without being cheated. Win/Win The ‘genius’ /🤡behind this idea is not a logical thinker😅imo more a numbers type of guy

Truly one of the BEST apps out there. Now as a tech savvy enthusiast, I always aim to test out dozens of apps just to know what works and what just simply doesn’t work. For a while, transit slowly but surely growing and over the past 4-5 years, as a New Yorker, I can confidently and how heartedly say that this app is truly one of the best apps out there! -Subway countdown clocks? Pffft, who needs them? TRANSIT has been RIGHT for the arrival of trains for the past 2-3 years now (mark my words, and I’m very avid on time frames). -When there’s incidents affecting your line, guarantee you won’t hear it on the news, but you’ll definitely get an alert with Transit, whether you’re in the app or not. -If you’re not sure how to find a certain subway stop, TRANSIT slays at showing you markers where you are exactly located and when to leave in order to catch that train you just aren’t quite sure is still running or not (even if it’s every 20 min on the weekends late at night) 2 things: I would LOVE to see an integration for Juno, VIA, and ARRO/ CURB apps as well, it would truly make this app even more unique and stellar. Also, there’s an amazing app called iTransNYC and I would LOVE if Transit integrated their app and notification styles with them. Before Transit, iTransNYC was my go to app. Would be really great if a great app got picked up by an even greater app. Transit is already slaying other NYC subway applications. Why look any further? :-)

Getting better. (Down below is a review from several months ago and the developers reached out to me pretty quickly about the glitch which I appreciate.) I do have a new piece of feedback. Today a bus was was running 2-3 minutes ahead of the app & its scheduled time, and I watched it pass me as I turned the corner to the bus station. The app was still showing it a few blocks away from reaching the station instead of where it really was, already a block and a half passed it - but that’s not the reason I’m writing this, GPS glitches happen. When I’m on the bus I can rate whether it’s running ahead or behind of schedule, and having watched it go by early I wanted to warn other people further down the line, but I couldn’t. There wasn’t any way to mark it as “running early!!” once I’d missed it. I think that’d be a great feature to add to improve the crowd sourcing. This app had been glitchy for a while - killing phone battery, missing buses and only announcing that they were on their way when they arrived, but today it straight up stopped working, repeatedly giving a “no transit options found” error in the middle of the day

Since I can’t find your email.... This is my go-to Transit app. However, in a recent update, the app started automatically changing to the next route time if it appears that I’m going to miss a bus - and it doesn’t allow me to return to the prior route schedule. One of the stops I use most often has the wrong lat/lon values. As a result, the app thinks I should be a block away from where the stop actually is. At the time the bus is supposed to be there, the app switches to the next route time, thinking I’m going to miss the bus. Then, I can’t see my transfer point any longer, till the app figures out that I’m on the right bus after all. This is very frustrating!!! The app should ASK me if I want to switch to the next route time or stay on the current route time!!! (Since this app is supposedly crowd-sourced, optimally it should notice that I’m catching the bus a block away, or let me note the correct location - but, no, it doesn’t offer that option!) So PLEASE put back the ability to KEEP the original route result even if it appears I’ve missed the bus!!!

Completely unreliable [One star ⭐️••••]. The live tracking almost never works in my city. While that may be more of an issue with the transit service I use (I don’t know what they’re expected to provide to make the app work, so not sure), it’s still beyond frustrating and makes the app utterly unusable for trip planning. Our buses are also late more often than not, at least during the hours I use it, so when the tracking isn’t working (which again, is most days) and the bus is late (which is most days), then the app is straight up giving you misinformation. (It will start to say you have to catch the next bus, when there’s actually still a bus coming any moment.) I used the app a lot when I first started riding the bus in this area, but I use it almost never now (just to see if I’m lucky and the tracking happens to be working that morning). I can never use it for trip planning, it’s completely unreliable. Also, sometimes when the tracking is working, you STILL can’t rely on it being accurate. On countless occasions, the bus I’ve been waiting for will cross paths with the other bus on the same “loop”, and it’s like the tracking completely breaks and suddenly the app says both buses are moving in the same direction.

Houston area. I mainly take the metro to get to and from the University of Houston. Downloaded this app around a year ago or two, its pretty great at showing me the nearest line to where I’m trying to leave from. It’s also pretty great letting you know if you’ll have to take a second bus and showing the walking distance to actually get to your destination. It even shows you the estimated time it would take if you took an Uber or Lyft. As a student I wanna make sure to arrive to my classes on time, so it’s great being able to see my options. Honestly much better than just looking at google maps imo. I’m not giving it a full 5 starts just because sometimes the bus will arrive either earlier or later then the time it gives you but that’s understandable it’s not always going to be 100% accurate. I get that same issue even when I use the cities official metro text service, where it sends the time schedule for the bus, like I said not going to ever be 100% because there’s a lot of other factors one needs to take into account like traffic etc. overall I would recommend this app to anyone not familiar with their local metro service like if your knew to the city or just taking the metro for the first time, it comes in handy if you want to make sure you’re getting on the right bus.

Best app for bus riders. This is my preferred app for catching the bus. I love that you can get real time updates on when and where the buses are. When I’m at the bus stop, people are amazed when I can tell them exactly where the bus is when it runs late. I always tell them to download Transit. My one gripe is I hate that the app switches me to the next bus time when I’m awaiting a late bus, or are looking for the bus times too close to when one is expected to arrive. It often shows me the next hours bus route, which in my city is different than the current route. This gives Transit riders bad info because it might be a few minutes before I realize I’m offering real time info regarding this hours route for the next hour’s route. To fix this, I have to quickly type in a future stop on my route and hope the app kicks in and realizes what route I am currently on. Other than this funky bit, I recommend the app. I used to be a Royale subscriber and let my subscription end without renewing due to this bug. If it were fixed, I’d gladly resubscribe.

Takes the anxiety away fro my morning commute!. My commute relies on a under-serviced route and if I miss my bus, I will have to wait an hour for the next one. Needless to say that puts a a lot of pressure on me to make sure I’m on time. Having this app is so helpful because it reassures me that I have not missed the bus if it is not running on time! I would love to give it a fifth star but sometimes I find that it can give me lofty directions when I try to go somewhere I have not been before. What I mean by that is I always double check google when planning my trip and sometimes the transit app misses some well times trips google finds. Also, I live in Boston and we have this subway line that branches out into four different outbound locations; instead of separating the stops of these routes out from one another they’re combined into one list where the terminating stop on one branch is succeeded by the beginning stop of another branch. It’s just ultimately confusing especially if you’re new to the city.

Saves my ***. I work early morning hours in NYC. Before covid, I could walk outside my place, stick my arm out, and 10 taxis would appear out of nowhere. Since covid the yellow taxi situation, especially in the early early am is abysmal. Not a cab in sight. So… I take the subway. This app is able to tell me with accuracy, when the train is coming- it’s able to show me moving trains on its map section-it will give me specific and accurate directions to an address- and it tells me when there’s a change in service. Now I sit in my apartment and pick the train I’m going to take by looking at the app. I know how long it takes to walk to the station, so I time it perfectly. No more guess work. This works for buses as well. Even has citi bike. I loved this free app so much, I donated the full yearly subscription price. Turns out it’s even better with the subscription. If you’re a user of public transportation, this app rocks.

Amazing app, I literally use it everyday. This app has been through my ups and downs; from moments to when I needed to view if it was worth running to catch the bus when i’m running late to moments where i have enough time sit down and plan a trip and see what transfer bus im going to take. Transit is the best thing ever invented and it’s very user friendly. I decided to pay for their annual membership because I wanted to help support a free app in which i use constantly and doesn’t fail me. I love the feature where we can see the buses real time movements if another Transit user presses ‘Go’. I also like how I can see what time i’m going to get to my destination while i’m riding the bus. My county also has two types of bus companies (one for the county and one for the metropolitan area) and this app has both companies all in one app. If i didn’t have Transit I would’ve had to use tow different websites which can sometimes not work properly. Thank you Transit team and thank you for the funny commentary under the “What’s new?” section on the app store

Overall works well. Update (11/23): they fixed the bug where the app can’t detect when you’re already on the bus in Go mode, so I’m a happy camper now (upgraded to 5 stars). Original review (10/23) My only gripe is the Transit app doesn’t give you the ability to use the “Go” feature if you’re nearby the stop and the bus will arrive in 5 mins, or worse, you’re actually on the bus; instead it shows you the next departure 15 min in the future. That makes the app virtually useless if you’re already on your desired bus as there’s seemingly no way for the app to recognize you’re on it (you think it’d be obvious to the app if you’re eg traveling on the subway underground and your iPhones location is moving along with the current train, but the app still feels the need to give you walking directions to the stop you just left… How exactly would that work, with people walking in the dark tunnels? 🤣).

Unintuitive Redesign. I like the crowd-sourcing feature and being able to watch the bus approaching in real time, but the redesign makes for a super frustrating app. It takes too many taps and swipes to navigate that aren’t all obvious. For instance, checking the complete schedule of a Line while currently in a GO session. It’s not very obvious that you have to swipe down the GO session to get to the schedule list of nearby lines. And I liked how previously, on the same line, you could see the ETA of the next bus as well as what time that would be. Now you HAVE TO look at the full schedule to then get only the bus arrival times and not ETA. It’s a broken experience and quite annoying at that. My other issue with the new full schedule list is that the earlier bus times were removed. I actually found it useful to see which arrivals have already passed. At least seeing one or two past arrivals would be helpful. Please incorporate these features back into the app so I could give the star rating this app really deserves. I use it every day and hate to have less than an awesome experience.

Gives weird directions. Standing at a station or sitting in a train car, input your destination, it will frequently tell you weird things like to get off the train catch a bus, go around the block and get on the next train. I understand that it doesn’t think you’re going to make the current train, but why tell you to get on a bus? Why not tell you to stand and wait for the next train? Hopefully riders use common sense and don’t do the weird things it suggests. Also, sure wish it integrated our on-demand bus service like it tries to do with Lyft. Instead it tells you to wait and take another bus line way out of the way and then get off and walk over the Interstate. If you’re not familiar with the area, you could actually do that when the best route is clearly to hail an on-demand bus to take you to your door. [update: still tells you to do weird things. It currently tells me to take the train to the station, get off the train and wait 8 min for a Lyft (it loves Lyft). Take Lyft 0 ft to the station. 🤷‍♂️]

Normally it’s a decent app to use but it’s been very buggy lately. I use this app everyday to get to work, I tend to get on the first buses in the morning on a bus line that has terrible service in my area. So I consistently have the app on so I can make sure I’m not late and make the time to get to my bus stop on time or try to pull out my emergency Uber ride money if there’s a major delay. But lately the times has not been accurate usually the app has been two or three minutes off in the morning or more if I’m downtown because of all the drivers. I never have too much of a problem. But this week? I’ve basically been having to basically run like hell to make sure I’ve made it to my bus on time. Only to be there waiting out of breath and my bad ankle aching for a bus that’s not coming for another 10-20 minutes. It keeps occurring and it’s not my bus that’s the issue because I know many people at my job have been dealing with similar issues this past week. Also usually if the time seems mistaken you can pull up the map to see where the bus is only problem is that it hasn’t been showing me that for the week either. So it’s like I’m consistently doing the most just not to risk being late, only to sit there looking stupid and losing more of what sleep I can get.

Great app nationwide, and fun release notes (seriously). Living in a big city, I have lots of transit app options but no matter how many I try, I keep coming back here. It just works and keeps just working (“just keeps working”?). Occasionally I’ll try another but only a few stay on the first page of my phone. This, as you probably guessed by the 5-stars, is one of them. Even better, it’s clear the developers really enjoy their jobs, which makes me even happier to support them. If you want proof, read their release notes. No, seriously. I know no one reads those, because they’re usually boring and uninformative “bug fixes and minor improvements” again???), but these are useful and surprisingly entertaining. The best thing about happy engineers is knowing it’s likely the app will stick around and keep getting better. Kudos all around. Except for the “All Star” ear worm from the most recent release notes, which is *still* stuck in my head. I’m just glad it wasn’t Rick Ashley. Oh no, now I have TWO ear worms!

Was a 10 star before update.. For the past two year I have thoroughly enjoyed your app. Unfortunately that ends today. I understand that you are trying to keep up to date with the advancement in technology but does that need to sacrifice the quality of the app? The app is done beautifully. The colors are vibrant and the advancements are enjoyable; but it’s not reliable anymore. I use to be able to pin point the exact time I would make it to my destination. Literally. I was able to press on a stop on the line and see what other train or buses run in that area. I was also able to then see their arrive time and predict which route would be faster to me. A for some reason that all has vanished over night. The app was so amazing that I made sure that everyone I’ve ever come in contact with downloaded the app; as well as many tourists. I live in New York city so the train are extremely important to us as well as the ability to predict our arrive time. In a city that is heavy controlled by delays of “train traffic ahead” or “sick passengers” we rely on apps like yours to help us get through the subway storms and to our destination quickly and safely. You can change the formula but please don’t sacrifice the quality.

Lost, Confused & Upset. This review is not about the ride or the bus driver. It is about the person who answered the phone for customer service. We are from out of state and decided to use public transportation rather than an Uber or Lift. We were trying to get to the airport and did not know how to go about getting tickets. He instructed us on where to get tickets but did not state we were getting them from a kiosk and not a human. His directions on where to catch the bus were not clear. The BIG kicker was HE TOLD US TO GET ON THE WRONG BUS!!! We ended up getting PUT OFF at the last stop for that route. The bus driver was confused as to why we were told we would be taken to the airport. We would have to wait 30 minutes until he would be back AND THEN dropped back off at the stop where we were picked up. At this point we were confused at why the direction we were given by THE person that we thought would have been THE BEST person we could have asked. So I’m saying they need more training, more signs, more maps and more directions!! We had to UBER after all.

I’ve loved and relied on this app for years but. The accuracy has started to come and go in the past year or maybe six months. I find myself rushing to catch a train pulling into the station in 2 min, only to arrive and find there’s no train for 8 min. And people are still standing on the platform, so the app was tracking a phantom train. This is even after multiple refreshes, and the app is showing me it’s tracking real time riders, so it’s apparently as accurate as can be. This happened a while ago, and it went on for long enough that I downloaded other apps to compensate when I couldn’t rely on this one. Then it stopped. And then started again, and then stopped. And I’m starting to have that issue again. So I don’t know what’s happening. But when that’s not happening, the app has the best layout and the most useful UI logic you could hope for in an app like this. I’ve tried every other one I could find and none are like this one. But goddammit if it doesn’t have me chasing phantom trains across the city sometimes.

Non existing busses late busses. Liar app. Horrible. The VERY ONLY REASON I use this app is because it’s the most seemless one. I’ve received marks at my job for being late and trusting this app have missed other rides because of this app. If you want to get anything done this app works MAYBE 30% of the day the rest of the day it will literally say bus arriving. Then just skip the bus and go to the next bus which is 30 minutes away. It’s so bad it’s almost a scam. It’s almost as if this app wants you to have a messed up day. Came to write a bad review but see I already have one in the previous paragraph(good job past me) this app still remains trash. Gps is an outdated tech that any basic company should have figured out. Literally sitting down for a bus that goes from 23 minutes all the way to zero. Watch it traveling on the map. Then when it gets to zero minutes remaining the bus disappears, like magic. Luckily today I’m doing nothing important. Had I been on my way to work I’d have been late. If you use this app leave for work an hour ahead of what it says. Because this app is straight up lying to you half the time . I’ve used this app for years and never has the experience gotten better

Always useful, reliable, and fantastic customer service!!. I have been using the Transit app for quite a few years. I live in Brooklyn, NY and have always used it to travel all over the 5 boroughs. I prefer Transit over the MTA website and other apps, as I have always found it to be the most helpful, as it always provided me with the most efficient route to where I needed to go, and it was more accurate than any other website or app when it came to bus times, subway times, etc. I also recently needed to contact their customer service to ask for help with something. Not only did they get back to me super quickly, they went above and beyond to provide me with what I needed (and then some!) without hesitation, and were very polite and professional. I also appreciate their honesty and transparency around their new upgrade and having to charge for it. I also feel that their prices are reasonable and affordable. They are also very understanding and honor their word and offers!

DETOUR INFORMATION. Overall the app is great but theres no specific place to get information on detours. It notifies me when its happening but if i need to go back and check? sometimes its not there… maybe add a detour section to see all your routes detours if there is any. Also there was no information regarding the event in my city that would let me know in advance that the ONLY bus to my job would just not going to show up during these days… It wasn’t even appearing on the app and googles schedule page would come up blank. I had to download the Moovit app where they, right at the beginning, gave me a VERY obvious information icon on my bus route that told me everything. I wouldn’t consistently use the Moovit app but having to rely on a whole different app for actual information is silly. My bus wasn’t running and instead of making it obvious to riders and presenting it on the app as an important notification its just hid the bus all together. This resulted in me spending $60 on uber when i could have just gotten a ride with a friend/coworker. But I didn’t see that the bus was just GONE. Not even appearing on the app anymore. Detour information should be a very loud icon or one of the first things you see when you open the app and that information should be accessible ANYTIME you want to go back and check it. DONT HIDE THE BUS I WANNA TAKE GIVE INFORMATION THAT ITS NOT ACTIVE INSTEAD. PLEASE FIX THIS

About y’all’s buses. Sometimes the last bus will come early an sometimes the last bus will go another route so they don’t have to pick up anyone so they can hurry and get their route over with I’ve seen it happen a couple of times or they will put bus not in service and that’s so so not right at all there is a lot of people that get off of work 1am to 2am an after a long day of work gotta sleep outside at the bus stop because some driver’s doesn’t wanna do their job right..... y’all say metro is friendly and that is such a lie y’all have drivers that has attitude problems an if they don’t like you for whatever reason they really will pass you up they don’t know if that person is going to work to a dr appointment an they make people late because they bring their personal issues to work with them or hold the pass against people we are all adults why can’t they act like they are an adult instead of a child my 13 year old act way better than some of your drivers an has better respect and manners than some of your drivers....!!!!!!

Inaccurate Real-Time Tracking. Transit cannot seem to perform the basic function of accurately tracking in real time the location of Golden Gate Transit buses and the expected arrival time of those buses at a particular stop. I waited at a scheduled stop from 2 minutes before until 10 minutes after the scheduled pickup time. During that whole time, the Transit app indicated that the bus was “0 mins” away. It did not show the bus’s location on the map. Then, the app suddenly changed to show that there would not be another bus arriving for 15 mins (which would be the next scheduled bus), indicating that I had missed the bus I was originally waiting on. Then, 5 minutes later, that bus arrived, 15 minutes late. The late arrival of the bus was frustrating but not the fault of the Transit app (that’s a GGT issue). My frustration with the Transit app is that it did not provide accurate information about the real-time location or ETA of the bus at the scheduled stop. I experience this problem with Transit on a regular basis. If the app cannot perform this basic task in a reliable manner, I have no use for it.

I LOVE this app but just a suggestion. I really LOVE this app I use it ALL OVER the United States when I've traveled in/to Las Vegas, NV to Florida to NYC, I've recommend it to many of my friends throughout the States even in Hawaii. I think it would be neat to "ADD" to the app a route of our own from "Loc-A to Loc-B" besides what's offered, to see at times which way may be more economical in timeframe. I know many many routes of traveling from using the (San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency) SFMTA - The Bay Area/Golden Gate, (Regional Transportation Authority) RTC/Duce - Sin City, (Regional Transit Authority of Tennessee) RTA - Music City, and (Metropolitan Transportation Authority) MTA - The Big Apple, etc. You get the point. The way I go at times is much faster even if I have to transfer alot it doesn't bother me, but it never pops up. I have to calculate backwards & forwards, guesstimate and hope I get it right. In addition, sometimes just sometimes we should also be able to add delays or if the bus is ahead of schedule. Ex: If something happened on the road that's delaying the buses but really has nothing to do with mechanical issues or if a bus is running behind or ahead of schedule so that perhaps other people who are using the app may find alternate routes to their location(s) instead of looking like a slow loris perplexed waiting for a bus that may have or may not have pass by.

Used to be more accurate. 5/5/18 update: First, thanks to the developer for responding to my original review. I’m not sure what good screen shots would do, but here’s a specific example from last week Monday, morning: I got to the bus stop and checked your app for the arrival of the next bus. It said 19 minutes and that the last bus had gone through four minutes earlier. Instead if waiting such a long time, I opted to jump in a shared bike that happened to be parked nearby. No sooner than I’d pedaled all of a mile (about five minutes later) and, whoosh, the bus goes flying by. All of relevant buses appearing in the schedule were displaying with the GPS tracking indicator, but none of the times was accurate. Maybe you could query Valley Transit about their useless signalling. ______________ I have relied upon this app in the Phoenix metro area for going on two years and consider it an essential part of my commute and even incidental use of public transit. However, it seems that recently it’s less accurate, even for buses that are supposedly being tracked with GPS. I’ll keep using it, because I really like its user interface and features, but I’m hoping, a lot, that the accuracy of arrival times improves—soon.

Excellent app for daily bus rides. The apps works really well in Brisbane especially for bus connections. One suggestion, could there be a function for skipping interchange? let’s say my bus arrive the 1st interchange there is one bus connection that goes to the destination. If I skip to the 2nd interchange there are two bus connections goes to the same destination. Isn’t this way increases the rate of getting to the destination on time? A user-choice redundancies should any of the bus lines were late?

Doesn't list every line. The Canberra transport system was changed recently, and the app doesn't seem to have updated the information about these new lines. In particular, there's some new lines like "R5" which don't seem to be listed at all. It also doesn't stay on the same page if you switch apps, which is super annoying if you want to check the details of a planned trip while you're on the bus/train. There doesn't seem to be a way to save trips to avoid this, either.

Public Transport is agonising no more. Well ok, maybe that’s an exaggeration. However, using the Transit app certainly makes travelling on Public Transport a much smoother and less tiresome experience. I’m in Melbourne Australia and am happy to report that the app works great here. Occasionally expected buses go missing but I blame the Twilight Zone, not the app.

Great Transport App for Brisbane!. Such an amazing app that is very accurate! Takes all the stress out of public transport that I usually feel, especially when catching buses. I also really appreciate that the free version is still very useful.

The most reliable & useful public transport app. This app is by far the best I’ve used - most of the time it’s more reliable than PTV itself. I use this app every day and it’s fantastic. Only 4 stars, though, because sometimes it can be buggy and suggest for me to leave at 4am to get to university by 11... but other than these occasional glitches, it’s amazing.

Thank you!. This app has been a constant companion for me whenever I go out! As someone who’s anxious about getting lost and not knowing how to get home, being able to look up where I am and what transport is available is unspeakably wonderful. The app works great for planning ahead as well, and seeing just how many options there are around me! Thank you so much to the developers for bringing me peace of mind! Hope everyone is doing well and taking care admist the pandemic!

Somethings wrong now. Not sure if this is just my area but I am no longer getting live feedback from the location of my trains or buses. I used to be able to choose a bus or train line a be able to see their most recent location but now no matter what bus or train I choose it doesn’t give me their location and that puts their times out of whack as, let’s be honest, they don’t always come on time let it be earlier or later.

Great transport info. I love using transit. I live in Adelaide and before transit, our real time info was hard to use but with the transit app it’s amazing. I love how you can update the bus location and see how full your bus it. The only complaint is that you can’t change the “how full is your bus” once you have done it. on the train network once you get closer to the city, the trains get packed and being able to update that would be amazing. Thanks for a amazing app

Just one more feature and I’ll give it 5 stars!. This is a great app. Excellent interface, easy to use, and routes better than other apps I’ve tried. There’s just one feature I’d like added - and when it is, I’ll give Transit 5 stars. I’d like to see a notification given when an approaching bus is, say, 3 minutes away. That way, I could relax, read a book, answer emails, whatever, and be notified when my bus is approaching a bus stop where I’m waiting for a bus without worrying I’ll miss it by not hailing it in time. There’s another app that does this and I often have that app running in parallel with Transit just to have that feature. Please bring it to Transit so I can forget the other app! ;-) Please!!

Excellent App. I use this App daily, i really think it’s the best one around for using Public Transport around Sydney. It allows you to view bus routes, plan your trips and it even reminds you when you have to leave your house. it’s packed with features. Top Notch App

There must be something better than this!. Having used a number of transit apps is one of the most unintuitive apps I’ve used. It fails to provide the user timetables for easy planning. It complex and one can’t seek option before or around the required trip time. I would suggest when an update is done the developer focused on the user, how they use it (usually one handed in a hurry) and make the information on trip easy to edit - whilst people are on the move in a hurry whilst using this. Shame.

Amazing app. Excellent real-time results, handily beats Apple/Google and the transport agency app. Lightweight, integrated feel, map drag and near-me is a brilliant piece of UX and a noticeable advantage over Citymapper — swipe stacks are intuitive, feels responsive w/ haptic feedback. Notifications for upcoming stop arrive at the perfect time to press the button :D Seems to drain battery faster than native, unfortunately means I cannot use the GO function for daily commute.

Amazing !!!!!!!!!. I was using TripView for sydney transportation and, and thinking about some missing features , and how they can improve it, same day I Accidentally found TRANSIT , it has everything I was expecting . Amazing , very creative developers . Thank you for the amazing product . Andrew

I’d love to have just one feature. This app is wonderful in basically every way, however, I think it would be really useful if we could also just tap bus stops on the map as opposed to dragging the sort of pin to get bus info for the area

Pretty good and way more accurate than other apps. Great app, very easy to use. The tram tracking is amazing and very accurate (way more accurate than some other apps). It’s also compatible with Siri Shortcuts so you can quickly check when the next tram is coming, but it can drain your battery like crazy.

Great app..but.... It’s a great app when it works. A few flaws though, it thinks I’m on a bus when I’m not and asks for me to select the bus I’m on which if I hit “I’m unsure” puts me on whichever bus it thinks I’m on. Just give us an option to cancel that dialog, I currently just force close and reopen. Also please stop with the wanky skim-soy-latte hipster release notes, some of us actually want to know what’s changed. Other than that keep up the good work.

Great app with love UI!!. Transit is an amazing app with a beautiful user interface. I enjoy using this app and it helps me on my journeys every day. The only problem is the full schedule and departure times. Most people catch public transport and rely on bus and train services daily. It can be off putting when you have to pay to see the full schedule and departure times. Other than this, great app!! Keep up the good work!!

Excellent and has Adelaide data. Excellent transit app, the fact they have more Australian cities than Citymapper is the main reason for using it initially, but it’s just so simple and easy. The fact it has Adelaide data is brilliant which Citymapper doesn’t. I use it every day.

Awesome app but…. Awesome app but recently I believe since the latest update when I try to get transit directions and setting a time I’d like to arrive at the destination it glitches out and says to leave immediately with massive wait or walk gaps in the middle instead of showing transit options that are suited to the journey’s requested arrival time even if the arrival time is hours or more ahead of time.

Not great any more. Used to be really good for Melbourne public transport. Not any more. Transit now shows 3 possible routes — all basically the same and suboptimal — then wants me to subscribe for any other options. I don’t like this change .. would be much happier to still get good routes offered but pay to remove adverts or nag screens. As it is I reckon I’ll be deleting the app soon

Hard to Use. Took me some time to locate the area to select a departure location other than my current location . In addition, the provided schedule only displayed a limit selection over a small time frame; making it hard to plan future trips during the day, without continuously changing the departure time.

Subscription… seriously. As a long time user of this app I was always in love with the interface and the up to date info this platform provided regarding public transport info. That was until I clicked into the app today only to find the platform now wants to charge users a monthly or annually subscription to use and see the schedules becoming like all the other money hungry app developers who just want to profit off of peoples needs.. what an absolute joke locking long time users like myself out of a service that I actually loved and appreciated now you guys want to take that away from people who might actually depend on it. Don’t worry will be deleting this app once the subscription comes into effect. And I now hope like Embark this platform collapses

Was originally 5 Stars, but now it’s useless.. I am on iPhone SE, iOS 11.4.1. Transit app originally worked flawlessly for at least a year with real time bus location shown on the map. That was the defining useful feature, but after an update maybe a month back now no real time bus location on the map no matter if restart the app, reinstall the app etc. it is just broken. Please fix this or else it really deserves only 1 star because TransLink already does most of what this app does except real time bus location.

Great app, but fails on key premise. This is a greatly designed app, the interface is buttery smooth and intuitive. The only problem is that, at least in Melbourne, the transport routes are just not reliable. There have been multiple times where this app just didn’t consider or warn of service disruptions, and I have ended up late to wherever I’m going whenever I use this app and I swear that it’s the last time I use it. But the interface keeps me coming back...

Stunning and useful!. Transit is a beautiful app that uses Apple Maps for streets and uses Google for address search. This is the best of both worlds: Apple Maps is visually pleasant, smooth and rich. Google Search is comprehensive, trustworthy and vast. The UI is also great with nearby stops/stations, transit overlays and live data. The GO feature is also the best in-transit experience, with live tracking reporting, stops remaining and notification-reminders to get off. I used to think that Apple Maps or Google Maps could do the job for both driving and transit. After using the Transit app, I’ve learned that a dedicated public transport app is worthwhile!!

Amazing. This app Transit is one of the best apps I have ever downloaded. Transit helps me get everywhere around my city, it helps me get to and from school each day and it is very convenient and easy to use when you may be in a rush. I absolutely recommend this app to anyone as it has been very useful to me for over a year. Thank you for everything you’ve done Transit!!

Go isn’t working! :(. This morning it was. Now I can’t press the button without it crashing the app. Even after the update for some reason! I adore this app and use it every day (it even took over the app I had been using for SEVEN YEARS), but I love using the Go feature and it’s not even working right now. Please fix :( Also agree it would be nice to see where the bus is again.

Very helpful. This has Helped me !! Since Iv just moved to Adelaide ❤️ I will definitely be using It Always the down fall is some of the buses I have waiting on was Late But Part from that it’s a very good app😊 I would definitely recommend it to friends

Nice UI but missing main features. Transit is very pretty and has great UI l, but it’s missing crucial features. It has no notifications of disruptions which is especially necessary in Melbourne with all the metro tunnel works. It’s also lacking trip customisability: sometimes it always suggests I take multiple buses home. I don’t know what it uses to work out the best route but it gives slower and less convenient routes, suggesting buses and trams over trains.

Release Notes Writer. Leaving 5 stays just for whoever writes the release notes. The app is great and very useful, but those release notes always make my day. Updating apps can be annoying at times (freeing up space) but I always get excited when this one pops up because I can’t wait to see what’s been written this time. Think my favourite so far has been the heavy metal one from a while back, I did take a screenshot of it but I wouldn’t have a hope of finding it so I can’t provide a version number.

Slow to refresh on load. I keep falling for this - open the app, see that my preferred bus is 2-3 mins away, let an alternative bus pass by and then, hello!, preferred bus is now 6 mins away. And sometimes when a bus is early, the app hasn’t caught up yet. (Early buses are the worst kind. Unless you’re already on it, then they’re great. Which isn’t very charitable, I know.) But I still use the app most days as it seems better than the other free apps (yes, it’s free, so I shouldn’t complain).

Fantastic upto date information. I daily use the 901 bus from Frankston to Dandenong or further. I find it easy to use and though I have an iPhone X iOS 12.2 I don’t seem to have the problems the lady said regarding crashing maybe it’s cause a lot more transit around the city and trams ect. but on my side of Melbourne it’s been fantastic. Invaluable even. No matter where I am I can find out very quickly wat bus train or tram(rarely) is going where and how long it’ll b. Keep up the good work

Really good but missing a few things. Great app, great UI, thoughtful experience, beautiful maps. Improvements needed: sometimes gets express line timetables wrong, expecting a train to stop at a station when it may not. Also needs to add train platform numbers. The voice over of the guy sounds weird. Can you use the system configured Siri voice? Or can you define some chime sound to indicate the upcoming stop, not a clumsy voice over? If a train hasn’t actually left yet, or is running late, it doesn’t correct present it as a viable option. Apple maps does a better job of this.

best public transport app ever until these bugs…. i’ve used transit for the past 3ish years to get to and from work. i don’t own a car so public transport is essential to me and this app has been WONDERFUL until about a week ago. when using the go feature now at around 20 minutes before the bus, the bus will just disappear?? it won’t show up when i search for it or allow me to track it, literally just disappears off the app. this proves quite annoying when planning trips and sometimes it comes back, sometimes it doesn’t. please please please fix this bug as i’ve almost missed my bus multiple times because of it and have to leave at least 10 minutes earlier to ensure i am there on time. other than that this app is amazing and i would recommend it to anyone who relies on public transport :)

First transit + bike route finder!. Love it, as a multi mode commuter using a push bike and train/ferry to get around Sydney this is the best (First? Only?) app that combines a route planner for using both. I scored it down from ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ as it seems to assume that the bike cannot take the transit trip. So the bike ride portion is limited to the first leg, getting you to a station, wharf or stop. Whilst this is true for a bus trip in Sydney for trains, ferries and trams in Sydney, bikes can be taken on the transit journey with you, so the last leg or any intermediate joining trips can also be done on the bike. This limits it’s functionality if the destination is not nearby a station as it will put you on a bus or not be able to find a suitable route. If the functionality of being able to use the bike at any point in the journey is added, then ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+ for sure!

Would be great to adjust the walking speed.. The app is really good, but only works when I walk slowly. Every morning I will miss a train because the app suggested I should catch the one after that. Just frustrating to see the train passing in front of me, and knowing I could arrive the office 15 mins earlier.

Nearly the best public transport app. Transit is a great app but the largest downside of the app is that we just need some more users if we are ever going to be able to properly experience the crowdsourcing feature, as in Melbourne, I don't think that I have ever been waiting for a bus which has been crowdsourced, which I feel kind of defeats the purpose of the whole app. However, that is not going to stop me from giving ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 stars) as the rest of the app is really convenient. Some of my favourite features are: How easy it is to view next departures; “GO”, the notifications from it are really useful and the way that it counts down the stops until it is time to get off is also very helpful to help prevent stop-missing!; The fact that even without reported bus locations, the app can work out (about) where the bus is, based on real-time data. Overall, I give about 9/10, and a green heart. 💚

Not bad. All round a very good app. My only criticism is that the app always takes ages to get real-time departure information from PTV to show. Sometimes it can take more than 10 minutes and you miss out on catching a connection which is extremely frustrating. I also cannot get the widget to show anything on my Home Screen. But other than that it’s definitely worth a look.

Amazing App. I’ve used a lot of map apps. Everything from google maps, the crappy map app my local public transport makes and even the map function on Uber. But to have an app that integrates everything - walking, public transport, Uber, Ola, is phenomenal. Highly recommend it for anyone, especially if you catches public transport, travel or are a student. (Also shout out to the devs - you guys write some hilarious update notes)

Indispensable Tourist Aid to Las Vegas. We’ve been here for 8 days, living 20-minutes out of The Strip, travelling in every day. The three-day bus pass is excellent value for money - cheaper than Ubers- and this brilliant App tells me where and when the bus is arriving. It even gives you alerts on your phone when you stop is coming up. Excellent.

Best Navigation app for Public Transport ever. At least for Sydney.. It shows realtime bus and train location and times. Still free and no ads. I wonder if it will stay like this or get greedy like others. Oh! And app update notes, they are the best. I wish there’s update as often as just to see these notes.

Good integration and layout. Also really like the integration with dynamic island. I used to flock back to the app regularly to keep an eye progress (some bus stops are really close together) now I’ve got a count that’s easily visible. Excellent app which is better than most of the others I’ve used.

Replaced Google Maps. It’s beautiful, it integrates so nicely into iOS, it works FAR better with my mental framing around transport (more of a portable bus station than a route planner—although it does both exceptionally well), and the developers finally added real-time timetables to the L1 light rail in Sydney, which I (until recently 🦠). The app is built with a focus on speed and efficiency, because they know it’s supposed to be whipped out and glanced at in a hurry, and it does that expertly. Only major drawback is the route planner, which sometimes has weird quirks. I’ve seen it beat Google Maps, but usually it gives a significantly slower route—and I can usually beat both apps on routes I know well.

Incredible!! But.... I wish it lets me save trips and routes I planned at certain times. Some timetables dont ever change. I also want to be able to favourite my trip to work or home; quickly accessible from the home page. It’s annoying having to re-run the search each time. Other than that everything else is great!

Great app - needs some fixes though. I personally find Transit a great app to use, it’s pretty light on data and the real time tracking helps a lot. I do, however, find some glitches or bugs with the actual tracking. When you’re going on a bus ride the app alerts you the stop is incoming yet there are around 3 stops left before your one comes. Also the transition from bus to walking also isn’t as smooth and at times the map isn’t clear on where you need to go. I’d also like a feature where it shows you all the different routes you can take, as some come earlier than the one the app tells you to take yet can still be taken. Apart from that, I highly enjoy using Transit.

By far the BEST transport app in AGES!. When I installed Transit app (because I was planning on going to a concert in the city involving public transport) my hopes weren’t too high as most public transport apps don’t really provide what should be provided, but this one certainty does. The app is incredibly fun to use (And even then, what Transport app should be fun!?) and it’s very easy to use as well. I am completely confident that this will be a great app for me tonight when I use the Public Transport systems in Perth, WA.

This app is good but with some slight tracking flaws. The app is really good and send accurate locations but the tracking flaws are a bit off like it tells you the bus has already went pass or you missed it but it still hasn’t came yet

Fantastic!!!. A wonderful idea and a great way of utilising the power of people to keep services flowing and running efficiently. I think the concept is great and beats other Apps that seem to regularly miss the things that happen at a moment’s notice. Fantastic job!!

No Loyalty to Frequent Users.. Been using this app for over a year. First as a subscriber. But on the free plan they don’t reward people for using this app and providing live updates for everyone else, which is the purpose. No matter how many people benefit from providing live updates for everyone else, they don’t reward you for it. Free users don’t waste your battery or share your location by providing updates for everyone else. 1st on multiple Leader Boards, but nothing to show for it.

Great app if you travel via public transport. It’s such a great app. I am in perth and i love transit app . It gives me all the possible journey options. So easy to use and very handy, Anytime anywhere. It gives me all the timetables and options to add time of departure or arrival that helps plan the journey more accurately. Totally recommend 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hate the upgrade. This WAS an amazing app, I have used it for the past 10 years, it’s essential to my life as I don’t have a car. I think it’s ridiculous that they are now making you get a membership. People who don’t have a lot of money are the ones using the bus, ontop of already high inflation rates and they choose to make it unaccessible to those who need it most like teenagers and daily citizens. Make this app free again, it’s for public transportation, and shouldn’t be a money grab. Complete abusive of power

👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻. I have been using this app for years and it’s really good, all of a sudden I have to pay to see what time the BUS COMES? Oh come on, download Rocketman, they have everything and more and it’s free

Amazing. I love this app makes everything easier no more stress of planning out your trip, Nanaimo BC

New update IS TERRIBLE. Your app is terrible now, not as user friendly, takes forever to load and more confusing

Pay to use now???. So apparently you need to pay a subscription fee per month just to see a full train schedule?! What a mess. Deleted and will never use again.

I was absolutely shocked. I just deleted this app this use to be such a great app Now they make you pay for its service that is absolutely disgusting 🤮 shame on you guys for this

Please remove the need to PAY for access to some lines. I don’t know about other people but I ride the bus because I CANT afford anything else. When you tell me I need to PAY to get the times for a stupid bus, it crosses a line. This needs to be taken away. We don’t care about nicknames. We just want the times to our buses. Stop changing things that already work.

new update sucks. you have to pay to see full bus schedule. stupidest thing i've ever seen will use a new bus app. don't get this app they make u pay to see the buses

Schedule times way off. Hi there, I’ve loved your app for a while, but since last spring, there have been problems with schedule times. When I check individual bus/train times to arrive, they mention the accurate times, but when I look up a direction using the same bus lines, the directions only give me options for minimum 30 minutes from the current time. I have screen shots of the problem, if you could let me know where to send them, to help fix the problem. Thanks!

Pay ???. In what world would I pay to see a bus schedule ????

Beyond disappointed. I used to use this app constantly, and loved it for being so simple to use, intuitive, and for the most part incredibly accurate. This is why I find it to be so upsetting that so many core features (despite what the copy and pasted dev reply would make you believe) are now locked behind a paywall. Sure, the MAIN use is still free, like routing a ride at that exact moment, but so many people rely on looking ahead to route future journeys for their peace of mind. Be it earlier in the day or late at night before the next day. Give us ads instead of a subscription base and then offer us a chance to remove them at least. Or try to add better, new features and lock those behind a paywall. But don’t take preexisting CORE features that many have relied on for years, and then lock those behind a paywall. Some people can barely afford to pay for bus fare, don’t ask them to also pay for a service they find essential to their bussing. Disappointed.

A premium? For an app that reports bus arrival time??. Girl I saw a lot of weird thing but what the hell is a transit royale???? Why do i have to pay $5/ month to know public info????

Used to be great. Used to love this app, not everything is under a paywall. I only take like 2 buses on the entire network and somehow the routes I take a under a paywall but I’m free to access info in busses I’ve never once taken. I’m all for supporting the business, but it feels like a scam at this point.

Paid. They now make you pay to see the bus schedule.

Disappointed. Now we have to pay to see some upcoming departures ?? Im looking for another app

Creative Updates. Love the bug fix messages. I don’t usually read update messages but with you guys it’s worth it. You’re great! Keep doing whatever you’re doing.

Thumbs down. It is missing a bunch of bus routes and the timings are often wrong. Caused me to be late for school twice

Now you need to “upgrade”?!?!. So when I initially downloaded this app at the suggestion of my spouse it was great! Now they want you you to “upgrade” to royale to see and have access to more lines! UGH 😣 Really?!?!

Subscription. terrible choice to make the subscription unavoidable. hope the app goes under

Bad Idea!. Very disappointed with the subscription plan. Will be deleting is app.

Charging for access to routes etc?!. I can’t get behind this. Not even sorry. Deleting the app.

I get why the subscription. After the update, id rather use google maps. I getvit tht the app is made by a private group and not paid by the transit company but having to pay to check further away bus line and time zones, Id rather use google maps a little off but gives me the quick need for free. sorry to hear tho that theybhad to do a subscription base but oh well

on the subject of monthly subscription. literally evil to make people pay to see transit lines. Literally an evil thing to do. If you thing those that are riding transit are a good demographic to ask for money from, you’re messed up in the head. I’ve used this app for a long time and I’m disappointed. We already pay so much for transit fare. Unfortunately I have to keep using the app, as it’s a necessity to get to work. Think about that word; necessity.

☹. Bring back old update please, new layout is very unconventional

Was good but….. 2 stars because the full schedules used to be free, now you have to pay monthly or yearly to get a full bus schedule…shameful

This app is about to go under. They’re trying to make this a freemium app with a monthly subscription. So Sad

Doesn't work after recent update. After the newest update the app doesn't work on my phone. Every time I open transmit, the screen freezes immediately and I can't click anywhere. I have an iPhone s6 and iOS version is 10.2.1. Pleased fix this issue as soon as possible, so I can give this app 5 stars. Thanks

dumb. it’s complete bu****** that you have to pay to use most features on the app. like i’m using the app because buses are cheapest forms of transportation and your just ruining it for people who need the app to plan things and now can’t.

GARBAGE. this app makes me miss the bus daily, every bus comes 10 minutes before the allotted time, I would pay to not have this on my phone. Flaming Garbage. Fix your crappy app.

Money Gated Viewing Lines. This used to be a basic necessity to view where and when a bus was on route. A recent update “gamified” this app and turned it into a money grubbing gate-keeping app that hides a buses basic info behind a wall. Delete and do not support this app.

Fail. Sérieusement, naviger là dessus quand tu veux tes options pour arriver à temps à un endroit, c’est l’enfer. Tu peux pas anticiper. Et les horaires pas fiables de la STM... j’en parle pas! Je suis vraiment pas in love avec l’app. L’application de la stm me manque, c’était beaucoup plus simple.

You have to pay to unlock the full version now. I have used this app for almost 10 years and it has been fantastic. Imagine my shock when I discovered, without warning, that they are now forcing you to pay for it if you want to view more bus schedules. It’s also no longer accurate when buses arrive. I had the GPS tell me a bus was across town, only for said bus to arrive a minute later. It wasn’t even a one off thing, it happened often when I had the WiFi on my phone turned off and used my phone data. Really lame to make you pay for an app that doesn’t function properly anymore. Looks like I have to find a different app to use.

Everything changed. I used this app for 7+ years . Now they asked for a 24.99 subscription a year or 5 bucks a month… every thing is a money grab… even when I subscribe, I can’t see when the bus is coming . The live tracking portion isn’t even working properly 🤨

Love the app. Super great app and much better alternative than texting the bus. However, the best part is the updates. You MUST read what they write in the update description.

Update: it was one of my favourite apps.. It was one of the best apps, fun to use, a free app that resisted the appalling trend of yearly subscriptions. IT WAS. Now it’s one of the many, too many greedy app, making business (25$/year) of what was once free. I’ll go with googlemap. Farewell Transit, it was a pleasant journey but all the good things must come to an end. /// No more: Une de mes app préférées parce qu'elle me sauve du temps! 5 *+ pour le texte des mises à jour :)

Subscription?. Uhhhh why is there a subscription now? Does this allow us to let the drivers wait for us whenever we’re late for a min? Does this subscription gives us more accurate time? Am just asking . Why add subscription all if a sudden?

Disappointed. This used to be a great app - even more helpful than google in terms of public transport. Recently updated my phone and was disappointed to see that you have to pay a subscription now in order to see certain transit lines. Information regarding *public* transportation should be free for all. Even if this app had ads instead I wouldn’t mind. But a subscription? Guess I’ll use google maps instead now.

Disappointed. It’s not accurate most of the time

What?. So now it’s subscription based AND we have to pay?? Like what. The excuse is, is that the core options are still there but now they’re reducing it because why? Idk why. So dumb I want to cry. Thank u so much for making our lives more difficult!!

Lost it with the subscription option. Why would anyone EVER pay for a subscription just to access public transit routes? This just seems like a disgusting grab at money from the app. When it was free, I was alright with the wait times being inaccurate, because it was free. But with a paid subscription just to see “far away” lines? Absolutely not.

Why make users pay?!. When i saw that some schedules were now behind a pay wall i thought it was an april fools joke because how ridiculous could that be?!! If they needed money there are SO MANY other ways they could’ve sourced funding instead of asking users. If we’re reliant on the app for daily public transport use, chances are we can’t afford to pay a stupid premium for a silly app…

Transit Royal Breaks Things. Now that I know my bus line it is much easier to not use this app then use transit royal. I am not paying for a subscription model. Its a shame. I’m now using uber or google maps. Sometimes I will no the route I need to take which will not be logged in the app due to absence of royal.

5 stars. Thanks to this app, I won’t seem like a tourist in my own city :’)

Making people who struggle can’t afford it now. Every buss I take to see my kids or work or anything I do is now locked and you have to pay for it yet how many people are struggling. To live check to check and now we gotta pay for the times for the busses we use daily honestly I’ll just delete the app and use my phone maps doesn’t charge me it doesn’t help anyone takes money out of kids mouths for what? People who don’t struggle to do fine and people who struggling to live well you get what I’m saying they made it impossible to plan to go anywhere now worst app out there I highly suggest not getting it

Horrible App. bus times are never accurate. probably the most unreliable app for buses in the city

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.. I don't know what the reasoning was for this massive UI overall, but the app is practically useless in Toronto now. The arrival times are now wrong, it's not intuitive to determine which route is heading in which direction unless you're already intimately familiar with the route you're travelling on, and this new trip planner feature isnt worth using because any sane person is already using Google Maps. This was practically perfect before: you could see all the routes, the timing was accurate, and it was clear which buses/streetcars were headed in which direction. It was also amazing to use this while travelling out of town because I could figure out exactly where I was going with ease. Why did you have to go and ruin a good thing by saddling it with your latest "update"? #rollbacktopreviousversion

Magnificence!. I freaking love this app it’s really useful. However, the thing I love the most is when I go to update it and read the update notes and start reading them. just giggling myself. Whoever writes those needs an award. Woot woot!

Subscription. Seriously? Now you need to pay a monthly payment to check some bus schedules????

made it subscription based. The app is free but they have now taken away almost all the functions, making you pay to get them back. I can only access schedules for the next few hours and only on 4 bus lines immediately close to me. It’s public transport. That’s disgusting, shame on these people that run this app.

Trash. at this point it just seem like they're usimg the app to squeeze our money, whats tje point of the premium? not only the bus schedule is not accurate but i also have to pay just ao i can see what time my bus is coming? this is trash , its very unhelpful. you just made it worse for everyone.its useless now and will be deleting it.

I don’t do reviews but I just had to for this app. I cannot say how much I appreciate this app and how accurate it is EVERY SINGLE TIME. I have options that I didn’t even know about, before I had the app I would get off work later that the options that I knew of and riding in Uber or Lyft every night was not conducive to the fact that I was doing OTat work and it simply cost to much money and defeated the purpose of more work hours when I would have to spend those extra hours of money to pay for personal expensive rides. With the information that I can access through your app I can pocket my money instead by utilizing public transportations that I didn’t know were available ESPECIALLY during COVID19. This app makes all kinds of sense and I cannot thank you enough!!!!!! <3

Shoots itself in the foot with its new paywall. I used and loved this app for years. It was extremely useful. Unfortunately, now many transit lines are locked behind a paywall, with apparently no rhyme or reason which ones I will be able to see for free or not. If you’re going to lock *some* of the lines behind a paywall you may as well make the entire app paid, because not knowing ahead of time what lines I will be able to see is a total headache and destroys the convenience, the whole point of, the proximity-based list of transit lines. I instantly deleted the app when it became apparent this would be a constant issue. I know my local transit lines well enough that Transit App is a convenience, not a necessity. On the rare occasion when I am in an unfamiliar city, Google Maps or the actual physical subway maps still do the trick well enough. Congratulations, Transit, you kneecapped the one feature that made you stand out from the pack in the first place. I’m genuinely sad :(

The only transit app you need. This is, by far, the best transit app out there. The interface super is clean and easy to use, and the information is very reliable, often more accurate than the actual bus times. While many transit apps are limited to one state or transit system (I’m looking at you Citymapper), the Transit app connects a multitude of transit systems, and will connect busses/trains/trolleys to find the best route and is always expanding to include more more systems. With every update the devs add more features, functionality, and refinements to this app. All the while they maintain the simple interface without making it too cluttered. The developers truly understand how to make the commuting process as easy as possible, and base the app experience around this. There are alternatives to the Transit app, some of them pretty good, but none come close to this one in terms of simplicity, design, and functionality. Get this app.

Hard to navigate. This app is useful but is not designed in an efficient way. There is not a button to reset my location on the map, I have to close out of the app entirely. Sometimes the times are not correct. There have been a few times that the app displays a bus time about 5 minutes later than the actual bus goes by the stop. I know it’s supposed to use in real time based on others using the app but you really should display times with a couple of minutes to spare, or display times as reported by the bus system. Also, after reading other reviews it’s super annoying that the developer pawns off all responsibility on the transit companies. If you’re going to offer third party service you need to make sure you’re giving correct information. And please do not put off blame hen others take the time to give you feedback.

Buggy and Missing a few features. I loved the older version of this app - it was perfect for navigating the MBTA (Boston). However this new version is missing a few features that I used to use a lot - for example the go to current location button that was always right on the main map screen is gone. It’s still somewhat accessible, but it’s only under the “get directions” section. I often didn’t use this part of the app unless I was in really unfamiliar territory - I just want to see when the next train or bus is coming. You can still move the purple cursor over towards your location on the map shown in blue, but it often crashes or moves very slowly when I try and do this. Also it seems like the times have been a bit off, where it used to always be very accurate. This may be the fault of the MBTA rather than the app itself, but it still makes it less useful nonetheless.

Good at a lot, not the best trip planner. I love this app and use it all the time to get around all over the US. It’s got an easy to understand interface and it’s easy to see what lines are nearby and can often provide more accurate arrival times than the transit agencies themselves. A word of warning though: I’m not a huge fan of Transit’s trip planner. It has a habit of sending users on ridiculously long bus rides, in what my guess is an effort to avoid transfers, when train options exist. Generally speaking, I’d say most people would prefer a subway trip that requires one transfer than a bus ride of about the same length with no transfers. For example, if I wanted to travel from my home in Washington to a Ravens game in Baltimore, Transit will recommend three different trip options, all of which require 90 minute commuter bus rides before a transfer to another city bus. What Transit won’t show me is that there are two different commuter rail lines between DC and Baltimore, both of which make the trip in about an hour. Those trains’ schedules and arrival times can be found in the app, but because I’d have to transfer more times to ride them, they don’t show up, even though they’d be faster. In short, I’d recommend plotting out any trip yourself, on a map or on google, and then using the app to make sure your train is on time, since that’s where the app really shines.

Free version is nearly useless. You can only see the 5 routes closest to you - and in a smaller city, I’m sure that probably works. But in a big city, with trains and multiple bus systems, it absolutely doesn’t. I can’t see data for the subway station literally across the street from my apartment because it’s so far down the list. So you’re held hostage to YET ANOTHER yearly subscription fee. $25 might not be a lot on its own, but when every single app requires one, it adds up. I am SO OVER this stupid subscription model. Update to respond to developer response: Without Royale, you cannot pin favorite lines. I tried and tried to get the pinning favorites thing to work before succumbing to your stupid subscription. They do not appear at the top of the list, and thus my complaint stands. Also, how does ‘moving the map’ help if I’m trying to see the lines near my home? That’s nonsensical. I stand by my original complaint and 1 star review: the app is useless in a large city with many lines unless you pay the subscription, since you can’t even do something as simple as pinning favorite lines to the top the list.

Extremely helpful but periodically frustrating. I use this app to get to and from work. Most of the time it’s extremely reliable and helpful, especially with how early I go to work (6am). That being said, I have had a couple of frustrations lately with the app: 1. For some reason this morning the app decided not to show the correct time for the buses, saying that the 40, which I normally catch at around 5:08, wasn’t going to be coming for another 56 minutes. I decided to stick around and see if the bus would come at the normal time, which it did, but it’s frustrating that the app made me panic so early in the morning for no good reason. 2. When I go home from work, there are technically two routes in the area (the 60 and 78), though only the 78 stops at my actual place of work. For some reason—it doesn’t do this in the morning—the app merged the two routes, so it never gives me a clear estimate of when I’m getting back to the transit center (since it thinks the bus has to go both routes instead of just the one). These are just little things, though, and I’m happy with the app otherwise! It makes getting around via public transit a lot easier, which is extremely helpful when you can’t drive and rely on public transit.

NEW FEATURE IDEA. I just started using this app & I’m already impressed with the ease of use & functionality. It’s been a while since I’ve rode a bus, but back in the day when I used to ride buses all the time one thing that was always a concern as someone who would ride a bike between buses is wondering if the bus had an available space on the bike rack. It was always a concern if I had to be somewhere by a certain time only to find out that the bus I was waiting on had a full bike rack. With that in mind, I’m proposing an idea for the front-facing camera to be used for real-time bike detection. That way as riders we can know in real-time if there’s none, one or two bike spaces available on the bus heading our way. I’m reserving the 5-star rating for when this feature is implemented. Aside from this the app is phenomenal. Keep up the great work 👌🏼

Free Rides & Smokers. When we had free rides, the whole system flowed a lot more smoothly. But there’s a major problem in Pico Rivera, with people smoking at the bus stop. When I tell the bus driver that people were smoking at the bus stop, they don’t say anything to the offenders. They tell me to report it. 1. My phone doesn’t always work. 2. They don’t know the ph num I should call. 3. It’s more immediate if they kick them off the bus. Severe? 2nd hand and 3rd hand smoke is just as deadly as 1st hand smoke. California has the most legislation against smoking. Yet, poor people remain uneducated concerning the ills of smoking and apathetic. For instance, when I was in Rancho Cucamonga, the were signs AT THE BUS STOP telling smokers to get 15 or 20 feet away to smoke. PEOPLE STILL SMOKED AT THE BUS STOP. Right at the sign. Smokers shouldn’t extend the right to toxify MY lungs. Bus drivers should act.

The most amazing app if you’re taking the bus every day. I’ve been using this app for years. It has come so far since I first started using it back in 2015 and it was awesome back then. This app is very efficient and consistent with times and routes. It connects you with other passengers that may or may not be taking the same bus as you. I live in Miami Dade County Court and bus times are on point. Routes are amazing it even tells you where the stops are located and at what time you should leave your home so you don’t have to be waiting extra time on the bus stop. It’s not only for bus it’s for all public transportation like trains, metro-rails, ect.... This is one of the apps that I first open in the morning very helpful and useful tool if your traveling by bus or you’re at vacation at a different city and need to get around.

Tried Calling Metro. I did call metro and explain how upsetting it is that busses will not come up as “Out of Service” and will say in service most the time (except at night which I believe are mostly planned times). I get that life happens but they refused to forward information to you, the third party app creators apartently and that just bridges a huge communication gap. How will an app improve if there is a large communication barrier to services and needs are not being met? Maine is a hard working state, we all work very very hard to survive and those relying on busses especially are a huge part of the working class, our entire life is centralized by transportation in general. Our taxes pay for services and our hard works puts food on the table, as does yours. Please take into consideration that a better system for navigation NEEDS to be established, this is a great idea but needs to be constantly updated and held to high standards as our lives revolve around being places. Thank you.

Downloaded after my fav app was discontinued. I had another transit app, but the company shut down. It said to download Transit, so I did. It’s not as user friendly as the other, and unfortunately I can’t remember the name of it. I liked being able to input any delays, but you can’t do it on Transit. I feel like user input about delays is better than the Go option. Also, the times aren’t accurate, at least for San Francisco. I’ve compared it to times on Routesy, and Routesy is more accurate. UPDATE: I actually like Go now that I’ve tried it out. I still think user input is needed. For example, Go told me to get off at a specific stop to catch another bus. Well, I was able to catch the same bus a couple of stops before the recommended one. I had to turn off Go, then turn it back on to show that I’m on the second bus. I hope there’s a way to manually switch to another bus line while staying in Go.

Wrong departure times and bad ETAa. I don’t need this app for directions, I only use it for departure times on the bus/trains and to see my ETA. Unfortunately, it is incredibly unreliable in that regard. If they are doing maintenance on the tracks and/or the trains are delayed, the departure times will be flat out wrong, off by several minutes, even when the times on the MBTA website are accurate. It’s especially bad a leg of the train is being replaced by shuttle busses, which happens quite frequently with the MBTA. Also, the app is unable to cope if I pick a route and make it to the station for an earlier departure than it expects me to. In fact, if there is an earlier departure, the app won’t even show it to you if it thinks you won’t make it in time, which is a huge problem for me because I walk much faster than it thinks I do. I wish it were like Citymapper where, while you’re on a route, it shows you all the upcoming departures and let’s you select which one you’re going to get on.

Great decision, thanks. This is been a five-star out for me for the past two or three years. It's often the only app I use for planning transit trips. But the decision to lock seeing farther away routes or times behind a paywall makes it completely useless to me. I don't use the trip planner. I've never been a person who relies on trip planners. I plan my own trips through being able to see the schedules and times of all the routes. I understand the train of thought behind making some features paid - but for gods sake make it stuff like GO. The whole point of a transit app over just using Google maps trip planner is that you can see the routes' full schedules. That's some thing that's IMPORTANT. And if it was a one time payment, that would be one thing. But by requiring a subscription, you've made your app worse than the Google maps Transit trip planner. I know you make a big deal about not selling my data but honestly I'd rather you just sell my data.

Pros and Cons. I’ve been using this app for a little over a year now and am one of the top users for the Chicago Brown line. There are some great features of this app, but one glitch that puts a big dent in its usability for me. The thing I love the most is that you can set a route and the app will alert you when you are nearing your stop, how long you have to wait for your connection, or if you are going to miss your connection. Unfortunately, the app will often “forget” that you are on a route and completely reset. If you aren’t regularly checking, and relying on it to notify you when your stop is coming up, you could very easily miss your stop. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. I’d say lately it resets itself about 3-4 times per my hour long commute. Also, when it does seem to remember my route, it keeps saying that certain stops are closer than they are. In general, it’s a good app to have, but you have to keep checking it to make sure it is still running the route you put in.

Great for seasoned riders, but not for anyone else. I’m quite comfortable riding the UTA bus system to and from the places I need to go m, and the information in the app is perfectly synced with UTA’s real-time information. For me, this app is great and works almost perfectly. For my wife, who is new to public transit, this app is a nightmare. The UI is unintuitive with so many hidden swipes needed to perform one task; the numbers on the screen are all poorly labeled, creating a jungle of colors and numbers that mean nothing; and the calculations for when to leave are either way too long or way too short. She’s basically learned how to use this app, but she’s also been using it for three days a week for four weeks now and there are still times where everything gets jumbled. I have no idea what could possibly fix these things, but man, it’s a confusing app.

Best App for Bay Area. This app is the best transit app I’ve found. I would pay money for this app. I actually look forward to using it. While you are on a bus or train and leave it on in your pocket you can literally see everyone you are helping. Then when you get off it tells you the total amount of people you helped on your trip. The directions the British dude gives you are on point. One issue though is it doesn’t provide much on the finding the station. It lead me to the station and said I was there but it took me a while to realize in was under ground so I had to try and find the stairs. Would be awesome if users could take a picture of the stop and attach them to the stop in the app. Overall, use this for your SF trip or even just your day to day so you feel your starting your day by helping other commuters.

Used to love it. Being a commuter in Chicago, it’s nice to have transit handy when navigating through the city before and after work- especially when I can plan ahead. With that being said, I am so sad to find the new (I have auto-update off, my old phone has an older version of the app) update no longer allows me the luxury of planning my commute a night before without having to pay for “Royal”. If one commutes to the point they have to plan their schedule hours in advance to arrive to their work place (or school) one cannot afford to pay for such a service. It is very inconvenient and it’s sad to see such a helpful app go in such a direction. If the incentive is to see some type of cash flow from the service provided, why not instead create means to accept and receive donations as opposed to completely limiting the functions that many who NEED to commute for their livelihoods.

Subscription charge. I’ve been using this app since high school and I came to learn about the subscription this app decided to include this passed Friday morning. I deleted this app once I became aware of this and I gotta say, I am highly disappointed that the developers resulted in charging people to use this app to its fullest potential. I cannot believe people have become so greedy to the point where the developers think the best way to move forward with this app is to charge people to view and plan out their commute times, it’s absolutely appalling in my opinion. People should not have to pay to see when a bus or train (that is further away) will arrive or where it may be or even if you’re checking for a bus/train that is not within your area. I loved this app but I’m sorry, I’m not paying a monthly subscription for this service, I just won’t do it. You guys ruined a great thing for many people who relied on this app all because you all have become greedy for money.

Was amazing, but “update” was terrible. I’ve been a long time fan and user and promoter of your app, depending on it for years for my commute and transit. But what you did last week is terrible. When I clicked on one transit option I could see more info about a particular option without leaving the main screen that shows all the transit options for my location. Now it pops up this stupid screen (that covers up information I need) trying to make me use GO. You guys are obsessed with forcing your customers to use your GO product and if you don’t back off, that will be your downfall. Many users understand the transit options in their city and how to make transfer connections quite well and don’t need or want GO. The the ability to see multiple arrivals for multiple options while still seeing the list was the magic sauce of Transit app. Very disappointed. Please put it back the way it was instead of trying to be Google maps. Google maps has that covered. 😠

Google and others will not show you around better. I downloaded this because I knew that there were multiple bus lines that could get me to my destination, yet google only provided one. This app is amazing. It’s a lot like how waze gives you real time alerts based on other users. The go feature will allow you to share your location so other users can see where their bus or train is in real time. That means you can get updates from people too. A couple of things on my wishlist though: the interface is confusing at first, and I have to believe there’s a simpler way to navigate (though I’m used to it now), also there isn’t an Apple Watch app and I think there needs to be. I’m the kind of person that wears one everyday and would like the see the current time, and the next bus for my favorite line in a complication on my main watch face.

I hope you update the Transit app as soon and as much as possible. I absolutely love this app I hope they update this app as soon as possible first Chicago at least I hope when we have a notification about something that depending on like what line it is like if it’s the blue line then they should have like a little blue train next of the word blue line train so then we can see it clear inside of it just saying the words blue line and if it’s the Metra it should show what color Metra train line it is and as far as buses go it should say like pace bus with the pace symbol and then the bus someone in the number and will CTA buses it should say CTA bus like their logo let’s say and then the number of the bus in the notification as well I hope that all makes sense

Time delay. I love this app sooo much, it has helped me with everything I need to about the busses. I have few issue with it though, it would say one time then take 2x as much as it say it would come. For example it would say 1 minute but then it would take 20 minutes before it would actually come. Another issue is that it would have a glitch. It would say 3 minutes one second and then it would say 59 minutes the second you blink. This would sometimes cause me to miss my bus and have to wait 20 minutes for the next one. I found out that I wasn’t the only one who would have this problem some of my friends and families would go through this problem also. These are really the two big issues I have with this app and I hope that it gets fixed soon.

Timely, Accurate, and you gotta read the update notes. As a Chicago resident this app is used more than any of the others out there and is more accurate then the CTA apps published by the transit systems. I’ve found that it also works well when visiting other cities as well, so the apps ability to show a transit system is unrivaled. Their navigation is pretty user friendly and intuitive as well from the start, allowing you to favorite specific routes or lines & has an easy to access widget that can get you major route times without having to open the app (though it sometimes has difficulty registering smaller/less used routes). If you’re looking for a good transit scheduler, so long as these good folks have mapped out a system, this is a great choice to help plan your commute. Also, there’s some good fun in reading their update notes sometimes if you’re bored.

I have to PAY to track buses. I opened up the app today and discovered that only three random buses were appearing and showing their live arrival times. I only use one of those three buses, and haven’t ever even been in the other ones shown. In order for me to track other buses, I now have to subscribe to the app!!!! Monitoring live bus arrival time is such a basic servic! Transit, you clearly are one of the leading apps for transportation! Requesting your users to pay money if they want to track more than three buses at a time seems so incredibly greedy. People that take public transportation often do not own cars because they are low income. They take buses, subways, etc., often to help them get to and from a job that pays barely enough to survive. So to now expect people to pay you for a service you have provided for free for multiple years, it seems like you are taking advantage of people by demanding often low income people pay you for a service that many consider a necessity in their life. This just seems so very wrong of you. I am incredibly shocked and disappointed about this decision.

Got stranded out on Blue Diamond & Decatur lastnight. Okay recently started working at Cafe Rio on Decatur ave & Blue Diamond rd. & live on Tropicana ave & Valleyview. Lastnight was my first day working at night & we closed at 10pm & I wasn’t done until 11pm. The bus stop is right outside the restaurant on Decatur as the last bus going back North down Decatur to Tropicana went by as the driver saw me running to the bus stop & did not stop. Cause nobody was at the bus stop but I signaled to the driver to stop as they saw me running. This caused me to be stranded out there with no way home so I started walking & didn’t get home untill 4am. By the time I got home my feet were killing me as I was on my feet at work all day. This is NOT right. Drivers should atleast stop for a few seconds to make sure people aren’t getting on or atleast stop when seeing people running & signaling to the bus driver. I can’t believe there is no buses running past 11pm. There are people who work & don’t even get off till 12am midnight who don’t live in that pricey expensive neighborhood.

What Happened?. I switched from using my city’s public transportation app to Transit by recommendation of a bus driver. This app saved me so much waiting time, made me on time when I would have otherwise been late. As a person who depends entirely on public transportation, the app was a lifesaver!! The best thing about Transit was the ability to search for directions and see several options with live times of arrival and departure. This function of the app is all bus useless now! Arrival times are different from what’s input, directions for “leave now” are often way after the next bus actually arrives, and I no longer get several bus/train/walking options. Transit has actually made me late when I could have been on time because of these issues. The only reason I still use the app is for the live bus feed which is, for the most part, pretty accurate. Please, please, please fix these issues with the directions function. I miss not having to worry about missing transfers and being late to things. :(

If you rely on public transportation this app isn’t it for you. I honestly wouldn’t recommend using this app. 95% of the time it glitches or freezes and exits on its own. This has happened more then 10 times where I catch the earliest bus to get to work on time and it shows I’ve either missed it but that’s not possible if I’m at the bus stop waiting for 10-15 minutes to get here and the app also states the same minutes as well. Or it also can extend the time frame example right now it told me to leave my house at 6:59 the bus would get there at 7:10 I’ve been waiting and I see no bus until I check the app it switches the tike further to 7:35 .. the company/city needs to get it together & figure out the root of the problem. I am one of the people who rely on bus transportation to get to work and I can’t afford losing my job because of how many times the bus routes choose to change or choose the certain time to come .

Glitchy and alarm feature is not as useful as you’d like. Really like this app overall. Definitely a better interface than google maps. A few things have been challenging though. Simply scrolling up makes it really easy to dismiss a route you were trying to view. I’ve had to start over so many times after accidentally scrolling just a bit too far. I also wish the alarm feature would actually let me view the trip I’ve set the alarm for or that the alarms were at least easier to find. They’re pretty hard to find unless you remember what route you saved them on which is hard if you’re learning a new area. There’s also no way to tap the alarm and see the trip you’ve set it for. It only shows you the time and whatever line you’ve set it for. Lastly, for whatever reason, it’s gotten progressively glitchier like erasing trips when i switch to different windows or just freezing up. At one point it even erased the work address I had set as a favorite.

Not the most reliable. Transit is a great app in a lot of ways especially when they give you reminders for when to get off. But the way they update the arrival times is a hit or miss. And it’s been more of a miss lately. Now, the bus stop is right in front of my building so it takes me like 5-10 seconds to get out there. But there have been too many times where the bus says 3 min away, and I walk out to the bus just leaving the stop. Then after missing the bus, it wants to speed up to the correct time. I’ve learned not to completely trust the arrival times and leave a little bit earlier. The trouble with that is it could be one of those times where the bus doesn’t show up, and I have to wait 20 minutes for the next one. When it's good, it's good, and when it's bad, then it's pretty irritating, but I can't find an app that is better than this.

Weekend Schedule. I love the app and have used it for years. However lately I don’t like using it on the weekends because it’s not accounting for weekend transit. I don’t think this should be hidden under Royal. It becomes misleading. In MARTA’s case The red line doesn’t do its whole run. Goes from North Springs to Lindbergh station very unlike week days where the whole route is North Springs to Airport. Unfortunately the weekday schedule is the only option showing up on the weekend when technically it’s not even an option. Those that aren’t familiar with the weekend route adjustment will be mislead into thinking the Red Line is run its whole route and be wondering how to get to their destination which on the weekends would be to switch to the yellow line a Lindbergh station for the rest of the way. This really needs to be addressed and not just hidden behind the paid tear.

Great app!. I never review because I never care enough. But, this app is so helpful in my daily commute. It’s very precise and accurate. Sometimes I see that I won’t be able to make it in time to catch my bus but it lets me see what other times I can catch it, giving me time to grab a coffee or a snack before heading over instead of waiting like an idiot wondering what time it will come. In winter, I just wait in a store and see when the app says my bus is coming in “two minutes” so I head over to the stop and didn’t have to freeze as I waited. I love this app. It doesn’t seem to consume that much battery life either. I had this open when my phone was on 5% and I waited fifteen minutes and my phone was still alive to show the driver my virtual ticket. Great developer(s), talented person or people, and truly amazing for letting this app be free. Best app ever!

Poor accuracy for MBTA busses and trains. I’m not sure whose fault this is, but Transit doesn’t give good predictions for Boston’s MBTA busses and trains, and seems to much less accurate for busses recently. Predicted busses rarely show up at the predicted time, and often not at all. Busses don’t show on the map of a route until they are very close to or well past the stop I’m waiting at. Perhaps it’s the MBTA’s fault for not providing frequent enough GPS data. Whatever the cause, it’s a serious problem, which makes it impossible for users of Transit to make a well informed decision on whether it’s faster to take a train or bus. For example today I waited ten minutes for a #1 bus to go from the South End in Boston to Harvard Square, but the bus never arrived, then the predicted arrival time reset from 0 to 10 minutes, so I decided to take the subway instead. Subway predictions in Transit seem to be more accurate. Is the inaccuracy of MBTA bus position and time an issue of garbage data in garbage analysis out? Possibly. Whatever the problem, this needs fixing.

there when i need it. this app makes the best of an impossible task: making heads and tails of the tucson, az, bus lines - suntran. between the gps data sharing from the busses only working half the time and the randomly changing bus times, it would be impossible to actually PLAN a trip across town. this app is the best option, rather than standing in a pile of ants, hoping a bus is actually going to come along before i get robbed or eaten. there are a few quirks and d****t’s along the way, but nothing’s perfect, right? any problems, and the dev’s are quick and friendly with their response and resolution. don’t know of any other app in this category that can boast the same, so, why should i even look? thanks guys and gals for helping us make our transit system “usable”. locally it would seem they could care less. -lee tucson,az

Great app with a couple minor flaws. I love this app and use it regularly. Although, there are two issues I run into. First, if I get on a different bus number that would also work for the route. It will assume I got on the bus it recommended and the tracking will show the wrong bus number. For example, I live in Pittsburgh and can take either the 61B or 61A to work. Today, it told me the 61B would come first, but the 61A came first. So I got on the 61A and it assumed it was the 61B. I wish there was a way I could correct it and tell it that I’m actually on the 61A. My second issue is similar. Sometimes I get on a bus without starting navigation, but then forget what stop I should get off at. I wish there was a way I could open the app and tell it what bus line I was on and start navigation during my journey. Other than these two things, very solid app.

So good the MTA didn’t bother to develop its own. Before our local transit system started providing real time positions of buses and trains, this app was useful as a user friendly keeper of the timetables and trip planner. Now that it is getting positions info, it's almost empowering. I used to go out and stand on the street wondering if I've missed the bus or if it's late and feeling foolish to just be hanging out watching the cars go by. Now I know where the buses are and when to expect them. I can have the app alert me when to start walking out rather than going crazy early to make sure I didn't miss it. Of course the GPS tech sometimes doesn't work on all the buses and there app had to rely on schedules but that's not the apps fault. Even if you're a casual transit user this is an essential app.

Continuous Downgrade. I’ve used this app for the last handful of years and it has only gotten worse over the last few. What used to be a helpful and, mostly, accurate tool that got me to work and class on time has turned into another “freemium” piece of bloatware taking up space in my phone. Anything useful this app did for me has been overshadowed by the fact that they’ve edged it closer and closer to something that’s only function is to collect my data and have me pay them to take it from me. When I couldn’t check bus times an 8 minute walk from my place, I understood. When I couldn’t check the bus stop 4 blocks away, I was bothered, but let it go. But NOW, I can no longer see the bus stop that’s just down the road not even 3 blocks. What’s the point of having a bus tracking app that doesn’t tell you times BEFORE you leave your apartment? I know times are hard, but the constant decreasing of the viable area for free users has made your service useless to me. Y’all pushed too much this time in your greed.

Best Transit App Ever. I use transit on a daily basis for my commute to & from work, it has never disappointed me in its accuracy which is what I love about the app, who wants to be disappointed arriving at a location late because the app they were using was inaccurate in predicting arrival or departure times? If you haven’t tried this app, give it a try, I’m certain, just like myself, you will not only keep it but, it becomes a necessary app each and every time you walk out your residence to see where a bus and/or train is predicted to arrive before you arrive and once there you will see for yourself how accurate this app is, and will be amazed how getting to work with this app gets you there early with enough time to stop for a cup of Joe and a breakfast sandwich before walking into your work day early.

MADE FOR THE PEOPLE. Having recently moved to the city, I've been on a quest to find the most reliable way to get around, even for short distances. After trying out several apps, I can confidently say that none have been as beneficial as the transit app. Its user-friendly interface and thoughtful features have truly made a difference in my daily commute. One feature that has stood out for me is the app's ability to provide real-time updates about my current location and the next stop. This feature proves to be incredibly helpful, especially since some buses might not stop at every designated location. With the app's timely notifications, I can now travel with peace of mind, knowing exactly where I am and which stop is up next, even in the scariest place of all, the subway.

Great estimates from afar but not at a station. Pros: great for planning ahead - it gives walking times with a few min to spare HOWEVER Cons: you can’t elect which station you want to get off on along the route. Say you live halfway between two stations and one is closer but sketchy, the other is clean and a nicer walk but slightly longer. It will ALWAYS prefer the other station and there is no way to change it. Also, if you’re standing on the platform at the station, for some reason, no matter what, it will assume you’re a few min walking distance away, especially if you’re underground at a platform. So if your train is 2 min away, you know you’ll make it, and you’re trying to get an estimate of final destination arrival. Good luck. It will assign you to the next train, which could be 10-20 min out, so the entire purpose of the app is wasted because all the timing is off. Developers - let me say “I’m at this station” and give me the ability to edit which stops on a route I would like to take, not the “optimal” one based on distance alone. Or let me just pick a literal train, whether I’m on it or not and say “I’m taking this train” or “I am on this train” Thanks. Otherwise the app does really well to give live estimates for when say, almost done getting ready at home and you wanna wait 10 min so you aren’t waiting for 10 min on the platform.

A great app that keeps getting better.. I originally downloaded Transit back in college—probably about five years ago. I’ve tried some other apps, but nothing compares. The real-time updates are usually pretty accurate, and it’s helpful to be able to see where the bus or train is located while you wait. The new(?) Go feature is also amazing. I love that it gives you alerts when to leave, and when you’re a couple stops away (especially if I’m dozing off on my commute). The only thing I wish it had was an option to pick preferred routes—i.e., when you search for directions, being able to select least amount of walking, least transfers, etc. because Chicago is FRIGID in the winter, and I like to avoid being outside as much as possible. Still an amazing app, though.

Use this app with other apps and information. This app is occasionally accurate; to get a good idea of when the next bus or train is coming, I find it’s best to supplement use of this app with use of other transportation-related apps and any information the company that owns the local transportation system provides. Response to Transit’s query: Thanks for your reply. I find that this app often inaccurately indicates when the next bus or train will arrive at various stops in the Washington metropolitan area. Actually, the app seems to have become less accurate over time. I have been using the app for 11 months. Sometimes, I will be pleasantly surprised to find that a train or bus is arriving 15 minutes earlier than Transit indicates it will. Other times, a train or bus arrives 15 minutes after Transit said it would. I, therefore, also consult the DC Metro and Bus app and any electronic signs that the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority updates in the places where I wait for trains or buses.

Very convenient once you get the hang of it + recommendation. For all those considering downloading, just know that you should probably leave about 10 minutes before the time that they recommend. Otherwise it will be down to the wire. It was kind of difficult to get the hang of this app but once I figured it out it’s proven to be a very handy tool. One complaint I do have is with the ability to cancel a trip. There should be a prompt when you hit the cancel button that maybe says, “Are you sure you want to cancel this trip?” or something like that. I mentioned this because I was using the app for the 4th or 5th time in a city I was completely unfamiliar with and I accidentally cancelled the trip. Once you cancel it there’s no way to “un-cancel it” and you’re pretty much screwed in terms of what stop you need to get off at.

Some functional issues. Really beautiful and fast UI and I love the crowdsourcing features. Unfortunately the trip schedule planner doesn’t always pick up all of my upcoming options - for example, the UTA train that leaves my work has 15min headways and yet the app insists the next departure is 30min away. I don’t have an issue scheduling the train going in the opposite direction, oddly. Makes it hard to trust the scheduling in areas that I’m less familiar with. Also, although I admire that the app pushes you to avoid driving altogether, it would be useful to me if I could map out my drive for park & ride on the light rail. As it is, I have to use Google Maps in tandem with Transit to plan out my daily commute since walking or biking to my train stop isn’t always possible like when temperatures are below freezing. Would love to be able to use Transit as a one stop shop without having to fall back on Google Maps.

Some good features but kills battery. Using the Go feature really drains the battery like none else. However, the real-time tracking is one of the best I’ve used among tracking apps for the MBTA. Also, when using the Go feature, it tells you when to get off, which is super useful if you tend to zone out on the bus. There are some pretty good features that are useful, like being able to easily move the location your searching for routes nearby to a different location than your actual location by just dragging the map. But there are some pretty basic things that are missing, or are difficult to figure out, that are really easy and native to other tracking apps, such as the ability to easily see other route options forwards and backwards in time, or being able to see the schedule for a route of choose and not just the predictions for a particular stop.

Despite minor issues, it works well!. I probably rely on this app much more than the time ticker in the train stations (a lot of the times they’re offline or not working at all). I love how it gives me every single option possible when it comes to travel as well as the ability to set up alerts for when there are issues happening with the train that you take the most! As another reviewer mentioned, there are times when on this app, it says that the next bus or train that I’m thinking of taking is 5 minutes away, however when I get to the station, the train/bus has already passed -or- it’s longer than expected. Sometimes you just gotta roll with the punches, as frustrating as it may be.

UII/UX is not user-friendly anymore. When I fist got Transit app, I loved it. It had an easy-to-use interface, which is imperative when you’re on the go. Then they did a design overhaul, and I don’t think they did much user testing as the app is no where near as intuitive as it had been. Bus time schedules are hidden (contextual time doesn’t help as much as actual time). When I want to set a reminder, it gives a prompt to get “Go” alerts for commuter hour updates—which isn’t necessary when all I’m I’m trying to do is to know what time to leave to catch a bus at a particular time. Don’t get me wrong. It’s a good app, and fairly reliable in Boston—which is not an easy city to be reliable in. But they need to do more robust user testing when doing UI/UX updates. People (like me!) rely on this app for their day-to-day life.

Ok, but Unstable. This app used to be so good. Used to be the only way to navigate around cities like Boston. Now it’s as unstable as Oscar Pistorius. It works well sometimes, but when the slightest movement or schedule error throws it off, it goes haywire. Very often I find it telling me to go one station back to hop on a train going the direction I want it to, in a city where this isn’t an issue. Or it will jump between similar but still different routes with different timing seemingly at random, often in the background. A lot of bus and subway times are greyed out showing uncertainty, and it often misses buses that do come. Something snapped internally, and the devs really need to look into fixing it, considering the number of emails with bugs I’ve sent them. And unfortunately, they hold a monopoly over many cities including Boston. Please fix all the bugs please.

So much better than CTA’s Ventra app. I put up with CTA’s own Ventra app for a long time and found it frustratingly inaccurate, dated in lack of features, and buggy. Transit does a much better job providing accurate timing, which is the most important thing. The interface is much easier to navigate and understand and the GO system is intuitive — I especially like that it tracks which station/stop I’m at in real time and uses rider feedback in real-time to show delays, crowds, etc. Since giving feedback is game-ified with a ranking system for helping other riders, it’s intuitive to actually submit the feedback and provide better data. I have some nitpicks but none worth mentioning yet, and the relative volume of timely updates from developers is encouraging. Highly recommend this app to anyone taking public transit as the best option for navigation.

Transit • Subway & Bus Times App Customer Service, Editor Notes:

Whoever planned the annual American public transit conference to be in NEW ORLEANS and overlap with MARDI GRAS? We salute you… and fear you. We’re now in recovery mode after a week’s worth of parade-chasing, streetcar-riding, agency-collaborating, and haunted walks around the French Quarter. Back home in Montreal, our loyal developers were foregoing the agency meetings, palm trees, and Bourbon street lemonades — and cooked up a gumbo of bug fixes for you all. Good thing we brought them back a pot of gumbo for real. Rate us five stars to laissez les bons temps rouler… without letting the bugs rouler out of control.
