What's New

Strap on your gold lamé shorts, holster your toast, and turn the safety off on your favourite umbrella: it’s Rocky Horror Picture Show season.

We’ve cooked up a few horrors of our own in this update: if you live in New York City, behold our new Subway Rat Detector which lets you report rat sightings on the subway and look up how ratty your local stop is. For the leaderboard of rattiest stations, visit transitapp.com/rats

Got fun transit-related questions should we ask riders in your city? Does Paris really put the “rat” in “RATP”? What lurketh beneath the London Underground, besides a battalion of ghosts?

Tell us on Twitter @transitapp!

Other relevant house-keepings and mouse-peepings:
- On an underground train? We can now detect when you're on the move (even when your GPS is spotty) which will smooth out some quirks in your GO experience
- We removed the “protected lane tag” for shared bus + bike lanes in the bicycle trip planner
- Is your Apple Watch cluttered with Transit logos? You can now shelve our complication in the launcher widget, for a cleaner watchface
- Couldn’t set a GO reminder before a trip? Here’s your reminder that we fixed the bug… and now you can
- Other black magic, potions, and spells, per usual

“Blows Google Maps out of the water.”
“The head of our local transit agency recommended this app over the one her agency created.”

6 GREAT THINGS ABOUT TRANSIT:

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

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

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

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

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

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