6 GREAT THINGS ABOUT TRANSIT:

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

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

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

4) GO: our step-by-step navigator*
Receive departure alarms to catch your bus or train, and get alerted when it’s time to get off or transfer. When using GO, you’ll also crowdsource more accurate info and real-time ETAs for other passengers– and rack up points and thank yous for being the most helpful rider on your line.

5) User Reports
See what other riders have to say! With millions of users contributing, you’ll get helpful info on crowding levels, on-time performance, the closest subway exits, and more.

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

Don't bother. Google Maps has better real-time tracking, schedules, usability, etc. Spending money on the premium version conferred no real additional benefits. Trackers are almost always wrong, and I am late very frequently just following the instructions on the app when the busses suddenly come early or late despite the app's insistence that they are on time. When you do depart at the time given by the app, it will refuse to show you tracking on the bus YOU ARE TRYING TO TAKE. Just don't.

You need to show non-transfer commute options in urban environments (NYC here). City dwellers will walk an extra few minutes to avoid a transfer. Not only do you not show any transfer-less options (when Google Maps and Citymapper plainly do), you offer no options to show or prioritize transferless rides. I'll be using Citymapper from here on out.

Transit ROCKS !! It is exceptionally accurate & out performs Google Maps. Arrival is based on Bus GPS as well as onboard contributing riders. Several routes are offered; the bus that you're waiting for is animated on the map; underground subway movement shown while onboard; options for two wheels, pedestrians, wheelchairs, Uber, Curb, settings for favorite transit lines, location& accessibility; some transit systems' fare purchase; rate-my-ride feedback; AND the Rider Leader Board is fun too!!
