The Best NJT App

One of the best transit apps out there by far. The UI is excellent, easily navigable, and aesthetically pleasing.
The accuracy is high and it let's you know if the information is outdated and by how many minutes. The map is fantastic and keeps track of the trains in real time. Highly recommended.
