About this app

Transit makes it easy to get around your city. No more waiting. No more guessing when your ride will arrive – our app helps you travel by public transport in 1,000+ cities and regions. With live departure times and real-time vehicle tracking, you’ll always know EXACTLY when your bus or train is coming. With Transit, you can get anywhere without needing a car:

• Plan the fastest route from A to B on public transport
• Quickly compare options like bike + rail or bus + metro
• Get instant alerts about delays
• Save your favourite destinations and services – then plan trips in just one tap!

It’s the go-to bus app for riders from Perth to Sydney to Auckland and beyond. Thousands of systems across transport modes are supported, including PTV, TfNSW, TransLink Brisbane, Transperth, and so many more.

HERE’S WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
"Gives you the best route to where you want to go" - New York Times
ā€œYou won't realize how much time you can save planning until you use this appā€ - LA Times
ā€œKiller appā€ - Wall Street Journal
"MBTA has a favorite transit app – and it's called Transit" - Boston Globe
ā€œA one-stop-shopā€ - Washington Post

AND HERE’S THE WORD FROM PUBLIC TRANSPORT RIDERS:
ā€œYour app was the deciding factor in selling my car.ā€
ā€œMy favourite transit app here in NSW.ā€
ā€œBlows Google Maps out of the water.ā€
ā€œThe head of our local transit agency recommended this app over the one her agency created.ā€

5 GREAT THINGS ABOUT TRANSIT:

THE BEST REAL-TIME DATA: Using the best transport agency data, GO crowdsourcing data, and our in-house ETA prediction engine, we get you the most accurate real-time info possible for all transport modes: bus, subway or metro, train, tram, ferry, rideshare and more. Prefer to travel on two wheels? See live bikeshare and scooter locations right on the map.

OFFLINE SUPPORT: Bus schedules, stop locations, metro maps and even our trip planner are available offline. When GPS is spotty underground? Use GO and you’ll still get precise ETAs.

TRIP PLANNING PAR EXCELLENCE: See fast and easy trips combining buses, metro and trains, and even multiple modes in one trip (bus + bike or scooter + metro). Personalise your travel in the settings – skip long walks or the modes you’d rather avoid.

GO NAVIGATION*: Use GO to receive departure alarms to catch your bus or train, and get alerted when it’s time to get off or transfer. You’ll also contribute more accurate info and real-time ETAs for other passengers – and rack up points for being the most helpful Transit user on your line.

CROWDSOURCED WISDOM: See what other passengers have to say! With millions of users contributing, you’ll get helpful info on crowding levels, on-time performance, the closest station exit map, and more.

*Continued use of GPS running in the background can decrease battery life.

I really loved this app until the most recent update, which completely changed the ui and some of the functions. With the new update, it's harder for me to tell which bus I am taking and when it will arrive. While I'm on the bus, the app no longer shows me all the stops on the route. It does not show me the full route on screen, and it keeps zooming in to the bus no matter what I do, so I cannot see how close I am to my destination. The notifications now alert me after my stop and not before it.

Constantly have to force stop when, after reaching one's destination, the app won't work correctly when attempting to connect to an adjoining route - it basically has to be reset (via force stop) to restore its normal functionality. Another bug issue is that you can only change the app icon color a few times before it "locks" and it can no longer be changed without uninstalling / reinstalling, which afterwards warns you you'll have to contact them if you uninstall / reinstall again. What a mess.

The amount you have to pay for other lines (and the fact that you do AT ALL) really ticks me off. What turns me off about this app is how it hangs and crashes 85% of the time and I'm *CONSTANTLY* Force Stopping it. I hate NJ Transit's app, but at least it doesn't keep freezing šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø If I have to keep clearing Cache and Data, then it's really a piss-poor app. No other app requires clearing Data and Cache multiple times.

What's new

The best cyclists in the world took our hometown by storm as they duked it out at the Road World Championships in Montreal this week.

Dodging our city’s infamous potholes, traffic pylons, and cowbell-clad maniacs on electric BIXIs, the winners sped to the finish — and hey, so does this new and faster version of Transit.

Rate us 5 stars and we’ll put some poutine gravy in your bidons.
