Still has a lot of work to do to catch up to Transit and other apps, but if you just want your favorite stop’s next bus/train, or want to compare different transit options, it is pretty solid. Some stuff it is missing: directions, trips very far in future (next day). Now that Transit went to their Freemium model and nerfed several great features, this makes up for some of what is lost. For example, being able to move around the map and see time of arrival for multiple stops.
why can’t we buy tickets online. I’m sick of bus drivers being mean to me because I’m a young working individual that likes to not carry cash. this is a step in the right direction but feels like a farce of an app. travel and take time to use the New Jersey and New York transit. I would never ever have any of the problems commuting there I do here. Boston keeps its people stupid and depressed. I wish you all well.
Using MBTA’s system, this app is by far the most accurate at displaying things like Train times (especially for underground stops that most apps get inaccurate). Bus tracking is very accurate as well.
