Transit

Transit makes it easy to get around your city without a car. You plan the fastest route from A to B, compare public transportation options, track buses and trains in real time, and receive instant alerts about delays. The app supports public transit in more than 1,000 cities, helping you know exactly when your ride will arrive.

Know Exactly When Your Bus or Train Arrives

Live departure times and real-time vehicle tracking remove guesswork from public transportation. You see when buses, subways, trains, streetcars, ferries, and rideshares are coming, then plan your departure with confidence. Instead of waiting unnecessarily, you leave at the right time and reach your stop before your ride arrives.

Plan the Fastest Route From A to B

Transit helps you plan complete trips across buses, subways, trains, and other transportation options. You can quickly compare combinations such as bike plus rail or bus plus subway. The route planner considers walking distance, transfers, schedules, and travel time, making it easier to choose the route that fits your day.

Save Favorite Places and Travel in One Tap

Save your home, workplace, favorite destinations, and transit lines. Transit then creates one-tap trip plans based on your regular travel patterns. This feature proves especially useful for everyday commutes, school routes, appointments, and frequent errands.

Receive Instant Delay and Disruption Alerts

Transit alerts you when schedules change or service disruptions affect your route. You can adjust your plans before reaching the station, choose another line, or leave earlier. Fast alerts help you avoid unnecessary delays during your trip.

Use Accurate Real-Time Transportation Data

Transit combines transit-agency data, crowdsourced GO data, and its in-house ETA prediction system to produce accurate real-time information. The app covers buses, subways, metro lines, trains, streetcars, ferries, and rideshares. If you prefer two wheels, you can also see live bikeshare and scooter locations directly on the map.

Access Schedules and Trip Planning Offline

Bus schedules, stop locations, subway maps, and trip-planning features remain available offline. This proves especially useful underground or in areas with weak GPS reception. GO continues supplying precise ETAs where supported, so you still receive useful guidance without a perfect connection.

Personalize Your Trip Planning

Adjust your journey planner to skip long walks or avoid transportation modes you prefer not to use. You can create trips combining buses, subways, trains, bicycles, scooters, and other options. The result feels like using the local transit apps for agencies such as MTA, NJ Transit, CTA, SEPTA, WMATA, and other major systems—all within one app.

Navigate Every Step With GO

Use GO to receive departure alarms that help you catch your bus or train. Transit also notifies you when your stop approaches or when you need to transfer. Your participation helps improve real-time ETAs for other riders, and you can earn points for being the most helpful rider on your line.

Please note that continued GPS use in the background can decrease battery life.

Learn From Crowdsourced Rider Information

Millions of riders contribute information about crowding levels, on-time performance, station exits, and other travel details. You can read practical reports before boarding and make better decisions about routes, timing, and transfers.

Pay Fares and Buy Bikeshare Passes

Transit allows you to pay transit fares and purchase bikeshare passes directly inside the app in more than 100 cities. You can plan your route, check the schedule, and complete payment without switching applications.

Recognized by Major Publications and Riders

Transit has received praise from publications including the New York Times, LA Times, Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe, and Washington Post. Public transportation riders also recommend it for its accurate information and helpful planning tools. Many users say Transit helped them commute more efficiently, reduce travel stress, and even rely less on personal vehicles.
