Reliable and Easy to Use

Great real-time updates. Love how you can pin favorite stops/routes too.

Try again with afult developers

Can't plan a trip for tomorrow, because the app doesn't let me see tomorrow's train schedule and earlier trains from today are removed from the UI, likely to mask frequent delays and mechanical failures.

Can't see the train number when checking arrival times.

Data shown is inconsistent with the schedules on the website.

Data shown is missing delay/failures sent via mbta text message.

Trains are not marked as late until they're >5 minutes behind. Late is late.

Pretty awful

I’ve lived here and used the T extensively. This app is so poorly organized. Wanted to know if I should take the Red Line or a 504. Guess what? No way to find the 504. So search. Favorites doesn’t work. Hopeless

Add tick purchase capability!

Why is this app so good, while MBTA mTicket is so horrible and convoluted? Why can't they fold in purchasing capability into MBTA Go and trash mTicket?

Reliable for buses

I use this regularly to time my departures and catch the bus. It’s been very accurate, in my experience, both for pick up time and location of the bus.
