What's New in Austin Transit

2026.9.1

August 26, 2026

Hey, it's been a while! We've been busy over the summer months on making our systems faster and better. You should find that most departure boards now just appear instantly. Like, faster than the blink of an eye. When we first got this up and running we just kept tapping and tapping on stops and stations on the map, marvelling at the speed. When you're running for that bus, every seconds counts, right? Of course, we're fixing a bunch of small bug fixes in this release as well, especially around alarms and live notifications, so we hope you're able to get the most out of them. More to come in the next release. See you then!

Live tracking was not accurate

Nice app, but the live tracking didn’t match what actually happened, even on the paid plan. I waited for 10 minutes after the bus was shown at my stop and it still hadn’t come.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback, and we're sorry the tracking was off for your stop. We're actively working on improving accuracy. Please reach out to our support page with details so we can look into this further. The Austin Transit: CapMetro Times Team

Sleazy!

Charging for an online bus schedule is ridiculous not to mention slimy with the free trial and then charging $30. Super sleazy app!

Doesn’t offer live tracking of buses

I thought this would be available.
GenuAayneGenuAayne

Response from developer

Live bus tracking is actually included, you should be able to see buses moving on the map in real time! If it's not showing up for you, please reach out to our support team so we can help. The Austin Transit: CapMetro Times Team

Subscription for ?

I just downloaded this app so that I could use it to catch the bus and all of a sudden I got hit with a subscription $29 a month for what I’m trying to catch the bus to go to work and function in society. Every review is one star one thing I hate is someone playing around like it’s funny. You literally could have the map on the website that people could look at I just moved from the coldest place in America and they had a better app system than this ! in a major big city Well, what’s trying to turn into a major big city lol Austin go figure tech hub of what ? lol.
