  • My Favorite commuting app

    Forget about google maps... this is the best way to get your commuting figured out if you live in nyc and use the subways and busses. I’ve been using it for a few years and haven’t found anything better.
  • Still the best app!

    Update: still the best MTA bus app out out there. Easy to use for finding any nearby stops or for specific lines. I’ve tried many competitors and have found this one to have the most accurate wait time indicators and user-friendly interface. I rely on this app every day. Highly recommend!
  • NYC Bus is the best

    Excellent app, very accurate. Shows all buses on route instead of just the next one that's coming up. If there are any detours or service changes and what they are. Trip planners and MTA contact #'s. Also shows all street names and intersections, App can be used as a neighborhood map! Always updating routes and info.

  • Best in its class!

    I use Bus NYC every day and I really like the ease of use and the accuracy of their data, often more up to date than the MTA signs themselves... Plus it’s very fast.
    Also, the development team is very responsive and committed to making their app even better. An app that you can trust and rely on 100%!

    I have only one suggestion: is it possible to add some tiles on the home page, directly linking to your favorites?

  • Love this app, used for years

    Great app. If I need a bus, I know exactly where it is and how long it will approximately take to get to my location. Wish we can see trains like the way we see busses but I Gus’s that’s asking a lot. Still the best app ever.
  • Super useful for daily commutes and weekend excursions!

    I use the app almost everyday to figure out what buses to take to go crosstown for work or play. I like the live tracking feature. It saved me from waiting endlessly for busses that will never come on many occasions.
  • This is the best one! I love this app!

    I've tried the rest, put them to the test and BUS NYC is simply the best.. They even give you the vehicle numbers for god sakes!! It's awesome.. You can even see every bus and every stop. I use it every morning and every evening coming home from work and it's a god send.. it's right on time for me!!

  • Bus route update fast and accurate

    I was trying to catch bus Q15A on Roosevelt Ave . I try to find out how long I need to wait for the bus. This app give me the the information I need quickly and accurately. If there are problem with the bus, I can take another bus route. I do not have to waste my time waiting.
  • Shows multiple bus locations

    I have several apps on my phone that give me location / schedule data on trains and buses in NYC, including the MTA’s new app. They each do something that the other doesn’t, so that’s why I still have multiple apps that do the same thing. What this app does that no other does is that it shows the GPS locations of all the buses on the route you choose. During rush hour, it’s very helpful to quickly see that you just missed a bus, but there’s another one coming. Other times, a packed bus comes by, but I can see that the next one is just around the corner, so I’ll wait for that one. The UI is has fallen behind, though. I have another app that train and bus info is displayed in a much more user friendly way (I use that one for non rush-hour travel). And the MTA app has become the only one I use for train times. Shocking, I know.

  • Best App for Public Transit Status

    I have been using this app for years to track buses and subway status updates. I’ve used a bunch of different apps for these purposes, and BusNYC is hands-down the best.
