June 26, 2024

Our release notes writer is taking some time off. Before leaving, he sent every Transit employee a text with an inscrutable hyperlink. Turns out it’s no phishing scam: it’s an hour-by-hour map of our bard’s bike route across the U-S-A, a coast-to-coast odyssey fueled by a panier full of Montreal bagels. Hopefully all this bike experience will come in handy when he gets back in time for next month’s release notes…… Transit writer?

May 17, 2024

Hey, May. When the tulips roar into bloom, the picnic baskets come out of storage, and the first varsity jorts of the season are seen rippling along the boulevards. We’ve been whittling the spring away in sing-song toil at Transit HQ, making pull request after melodious pull request, setting you all up for a sub-stantial sequence of midsummer announcements. As we put the finishing touches on our metro-politan magnum opuses, let us refresh your glass with a big swig of bug abatements and new Transit markets: Porto! Lisbon! Dubai! Scotland! Whether you’re taking the Clockwork Orange in Glasgow, ripping the Red Line to the Burj Khalifa, or patronizing Porto’s Purple Line to find the purplest port in town — we’ve got you covered. Speaking of coverage… rate us five stars to pay your respects to the Transit devs beasting in the Underground. PS: Got a hunch on what’s barreling down the third rail to a station near you?

5.15.16

April 19, 2024

The eclipse has passed. The sun has incinerated the last remaining snowflakes of Canada’s winter. Which means Montreal’s super cyclists have escaped from their exercise-bike-equipped basements and taken back the smooth tarmac of Circuit Gilles Villeneuve from the F1 racecars. Sometimes we ride down on our fixed gear bikes to watch the roadies pedal in circles for hours and hours in their skintight suits, like they’re training to be the prettiest horse at the Kentucky Derby. Back home at Transit HQ, we’ve made the usual spring cleaning adjustments, and more: - We’ve added bikeshare fare info to the app (in select cities, more to come) so you can see how much a ride on those metal tanks will run you - New iOS emojis have been christened and added to our GO nickname generator - Real-time data for nearby lines should now load a picosecond or two faster (by prioritizing downloads for visible lines first, and then downloading real-time for ones further away as you scroll down the list of lines) - Other bug fixes and aerodynamic improvements Rate us five stars to put Sriracha in the roadies’ bike bottles for extra motivation.

March 22, 2024

Spring is peeping out of the curtains and keeping us on our toes. One day we’re sunbathing on the mountain. The next day we’re wringing melted snow out of our wool socks and defanging the icicles in our beards. As the mercury meter hops around like a jack-in-the-box, we’re bringing you a weatherproofed wagon of minor improvements, including: - Better bicycle trip plans. You’ll now see a wider variety of options with fewer overlapping legs/zigzagging portions. We’ll also favour trip legs with bike paths and lightly-trafficked roads even more than before - Tweaks that make your GO live activities easier to peep at from the Dynamic Island - Added bathtub plugs and caulking to leaky strings in the UI, everything is pixel perfect now Anything else? Yes, but you’ll have to wait until the next update! Rate us five stars to ask Helios and his solar horses for five more solar eclipses.

Whoever planned the annual American public transit conference to be in NEW ORLEANS and overlap with MARDI GRAS? We salute you… and fear you. We’re now in recovery mode after a week’s worth of parade-chasing, streetcar-riding, agency-collaborating, and haunted walks around the French Quarter. Back home in Montreal, our loyal developers were foregoing the agency meetings, palm trees, and Bourbon street lemonades — and cooked up a gumbo of bug fixes for you all. Good thing we brought them back a pot of gumbo for real. Rate us five stars to laissez les bons temps rouler… without letting the bugs rouler out of control.

February 7, 2024

The forecast in Florida called for “falling iguanas” this month, as the sunshine state experienced a cold snap so cold it stunned the lizards in the trees. While our cold-blooded friends defrosted on the sidewalk, we waxed our cross-country skis, glided to the office, and got busy counting the number of snowed-in and snow-cleared bus stops in Montreal (see transitapp.com/snow for more info). To keep the windchill at bay, our designer Béa knitted up some beautiful new in-app icons that will warm your heart… and feet. You can inspect her nimble-fingered needlework by navigating to the Royale section in the app settings. (Anyone can see her new app icons, but only our loyal subscribers can add them to their homescreen!) Other than that? New year, new bug fixes: - The illegibility wars between dark fonts and dark backgrounds (and light fonts and light backgrounds) that have vexed users of Dark Mode and other colourful in-app themes has reached a détente, thanks to our favourite in-app function, HighContrast. - Planning a trip? We’ve made it easier to buy fares — even for trips that span different transit agencies! You’ll now see a neat “buy ticket” button, below the relevant leg of your trip, when you look up trip directions in the app. Nothing else to report… time to go ice fishing. 
PS: App glitch? Dropped stitch? We’re @transitapp on Twitterville. Rate us five stars if your usual place is chillier than red hot chili peppers.

5.15.10

December 20, 2023

Ah. The ides of December. When the buses in Canada get decked out in the grooviest winter tires. When those wild winter bikers shed the skintight lycra for balaclavas, ski masks, enormous lobster mittens…  proving once and for all what “hardcore” really means. Back at Transit HQ, we’re managing the fleets despite the sleets, running over bugs with our studded-tire BIXI bikes. Who decided to call this “autumn”? Was it you, New Orleans? - You can now dismiss our post-ride questionnaire where we ask you “how was your ride, out of five stars?” by swiping down - Fixed issue with GO when we’d ask you “are you on the J or the F train?” when you were actually on a secret third train… we’re now better at asking which bus or train you’re on when there’s a lot of nearby overlapping transit lines (or the same line but with different branches) - The developers hereby apologize to the designers for misnaming some of the 50 shades of grey in Transit’s colour bible (“you call that ‘elephant hide’? It’s obviously light pewter.”) - Fixed issue where the little robot man who feeds real-time data into the app was skipping like a Green Day CD in your brother’s old Walkman - Montreal snowbirds can now purchase 747 bus tickets from the airport to downtown, right in the app - Other bug fixes as dry as these Decembers days are short Don’t forget to rate us five stars. And if you find a bug? Send us an email (info@transit.app) or drop us a note on Google Plus… we hear it now has more users than Twitter? PS: is that a new in-app icon I see?

Reviews of Transit

  • Capitalism Strikes Again

    It’s been a couple of years since my last review and I still feel the same way about this app if not stronger. The most recent update renders the free version of the app completely useless. It no longer allows you to select your location to see upcoming bus or train times. Unfortunately for me I live a whole 10 minute walk from the train which is for some reason outside of the ability to see times for that train?? If you live in Chicago the Ventra app is free and provides all of the same information. It is hysterical that these developers want you to pay $5 a month just for some pretty colors. I am not being held against my will to use this app and I am grateful for that.

    I’ve been using the Transit app for three years now and I’ve absolutely loved it. It was a great app that helped me navigate the city. Recently they took away some basic but necessary features because they want you to upgrade to the “pro” version of the app. I’m very disappointed by this. Trying to capitalize off of regular working class humans who are just trying to get from point A to point B. I would much rather deal with ads than have to pay more money for something that was free for the past three years. It’s just another money grab.

    Developer Response

    Thanks for your feedback! I understand it can be frustrating that we're now asking people to subscribe to our app when it has always been free. I want to assure you that core features of the app will always remain free so that those who rely on the app can continue to do so. If you have any more questions, just email us at info@transitapp.com.
  • Not helpful

    This app causes me stress and gives misinformation. And customer support is a joke. I wrote in to ask how to increase the volume of the speaker. I was asked to send screenshots of the “error.” Send screenshots of low volume. How about you read my question? I am presently waiting for a train that Transit says will be here to find that it was cancelled over an hour ago. And there are some transit lines that run continuously (Wash DC metro). Yet Transit urges me to “hurry up” bc I might miss a train that comes a every few minutes. I am a premium subscriber, and get no better service than doing the work myself. Seeking a refund…

    UPDATE: Developer asked for ticket number that asked me for screenshots of low volume (!!!!!). They are emails w customer service. Happy to provide to developer if there is a means. Or they can tell me how to screenshot something being hard to hear. They’re not interested in follow up about telling me to hurry up for long-cancelled trains. ALSO, this app switches which train you are headed to without notice. I may leave my office at 4 to get the metro to a 5 pm commuter train. If the app thinks I’m cutting it too close, it automatically switches me to a 6 pm train without notice. How do I update my ride if they switch it without telling me? And times are better than the app says. I often make the 5 pm even when Transit overruled me and is tracking the 6 pm train. Cannot rely on this app.

    Developer Response

    Without a screen recording (a recording taken of your screen) of the issue you are running into, we have no way of troubleshooting or assisting you. Screen recordings also capture sound, in addition to the movement and actions on your screen. If you need assistance doing that, please follow up with us via email. We do not provide technical support via app reviews.
  • Getting better

    (Down below is a review from several months ago and the developers reached out to me pretty quickly about the glitch which I appreciate.)
    I do have a new piece of feedback. Today a bus was was running 2-3 minutes ahead of the app & its scheduled time, and I watched it pass me as I turned the corner to the bus station. The app was still showing it a few blocks away from reaching the station instead of where it really was, already a block and a half passed it - but that’s not the reason I’m writing this, GPS glitches happen. When I’m on the bus I can rate whether it’s running ahead or behind of schedule, and having watched it go by early I wanted to warn other people further down the line, but I couldn’t. There wasn’t any way to mark it as “running early!!” once I’d missed it. I think that’d be a great feature to add to improve the crowd sourcing.

    This app had been glitchy for a while - killing phone battery, missing buses and only announcing that they were on their way when they arrived, but today it straight up stopped working, repeatedly giving a “no transit options found” error in the middle of the day
