What's New in Boston Transit

2026.7.4

May 21, 2026

To celebrate World Awareness Day this month, we've added an extra accessibility feature - custom fonts. From the Settings screen, you can now choose from several easy-to-read fonts that will be used throughout the app, including dyslexic-friendly typefaces. New: Destination Filters Just open up a station board, tap on Destination and choose the station you want to get to. You'll only see the services that stop there. Great for busy stations where you want to cut out the noise and focus on the lines that you care about. Best of all, it works for bus stops as well: tap on Destination and choose the place you're going to, and we'll work out which bus lines from that stop go there. Previously... Saved Stops by Distance Now just tap the toggle on the Saved tab to re-order your saved stops and stations by how close they are to you. Service Alert Summaries No more scrolling through long lists of alerts. The app now creates a short summary highlighting the most recent and important disruptions affecting your journey. Better for your battery We’ve made major optimisations to how the app uses location and background activity while you’re travelling. You can now tap GO with confidence that it won’t drain your battery. Smarter Live Activities Live Activities now end cleanly when you reach your destination. You’ll also see a quick summary of your trip when a Live Activity begins. Home & Work improvements You can now edit or remove your Home and Work locations again. Saved places and stations also sync automatically through iCloud, keeping all your devices up to date. Powerful new Shortcuts support You can now start live directions directly from Shortcuts or Siri. Instead of opening the app, directions begin instantly as a Live Activity - perfect for routines like starting your commute each morning. The app also remembers your preferred routes. If a familiar journey is available, it will be selected automatically. Otherwise, just choose a route once and we’ll remember it for next time. Clearer train departure boards Train times are now easier to read in both the app and widgets, so you can find what you need at a glance. If you’re enjoying the app, a quick rating or review really helps. Have feedback or ideas? Send us a message from the Help section in the app.

User reviews

It’s very good

Usually I use MBTA go, but I saw this app and decided to try it. It’s very good and I would use this if I needed to find where to go.

Capo

Very pleased with the service

ERROR

Just subscribed and paid for it.
The app is not working ! The ERROR sign keep popping on screen

Not very easy to use

This app is complicated, you can’t just tap a route to give you a list of the upcoming buses/trains. The app forces you to plan your trip and gives you a list of routes to take, as a local, nobody has time for that! Forget about adding a route as your favorite, it doesn’t add any convenience. I can’t even check for prior buses that had passed my stop.
