  • A life saver for my commute

    I use this app daily to check in with my reg buses and routes to work and back. It takes a little fiddling around to figure out how best to use it but I've found that if you set your favorite bus lines or go directly to the map option of your current location I can quickly access the timetables, ETA and location of any given bus line. It also has subway/rail status updates for quick reference. This app has been super useful and so far reliable with its regular status updates. I feel like it's a must-have app if you live/work in the NYC area.

  • Super helpful!

    I absolutely love this app! I can check ahead of time so I’ll know if it’s worth waiting for. The route updates are really fast too so I’m never worried about updating the route when I need to check the bus time! Definitely recommend this app to anyone using the nyc buses!
  • The accuracy

    This app is very accurate like an elite QB let’s you know the time, let’s you know what’s going on, updates the whole 9 yards. All the other apps are not quite accurate as this one, this app is the G.O.A.T.
  • Best nyc mta app

    This is hands down the best app if you are a nyc commuter, then UI is nice, clean, its very informational, and easy to use
    Some of the things i wish for

    1) able to back up your favorites to dropbox or somewhere.
    2) notification if your bus is coming in a timer you can set
  • A must have app for traveling in nyc

    Need to cut down on bus wait time in the morning? This is THE app to download.

    App will show you a real time location with a moving icon on the screen. Great for those days in NYC winter when you hide inside then ATM section of the bank to keep warm. Wait for the bus there and track it. No more frozen hands!

  • It's ok

    It's fine if you want to know whether a bus is coming soon but the bus marker is always at least 3 blocks behind the actual location of the bus. If you're rushing to catch a bus that you think is still 2 blocks away, forget it. You already missed it.
  • Great app for NYC commuters

    As an NYC commuter, this is my go to app for my transportation needs. Live tracking of your respective route and allows me to manage my time more because of this.

    The integration with the trains continue to update and hope to see improvements on live tracking as well. Thanks!
  • Great app! Missing widget

    This is the best app I've tried
    Unlike other apps I've tried, GPS information is very accurate. A widget would come very handy to check bus times in an instant
  • Only accurate bus app, thumbs down for UI.

    I’ve used and relied on other apps including transit (the battery eater) before someone told me about this one. Other apps constantly showed out of service buses that would pop on the route as moving and then disappear off the radar. This could be due to MTA’s signal but for whatever reason that does not appear to be frequent (or at all) on this app.

    Downside. I can’t stand the interface and needs to be modified/simplified so that the homepage upon loading shows the routes closest to current location.

  • 5 stars, love this app

    The app does exactly what I need it to do. Beautifully designed, easy to get to both bus and subway departure times. Active development team fixing bugs and adding support for new iPhone screen sizes

    One con: I wish it was fewer clicks to get to a subway map. Not a dealbreaker but would make it a little more of a Swiss Army knife kind of app
