## What is Navy Yard Transit?

Navy Yard Transit is one app for all your urban mobility and transit rides.



Designed by Moovit, the Navy Yard Transit app provides riders with a one-stop-shop journey experience to help them get from point A to B in the easiest and most efficient way. Get train and bus times, maps, and real-time arrival information with ease so that you can plan your trip with confidence. Pay and validate your rides. Find critical alerts and service disruptions for your favorite lines. Get step-by-step directions of optimal route bus, train, subway, bike, or any combination.



Commuters will find updated bus and train times, transit maps, and, where available, real-time line arrivals. Locate nearby bus stops and train stations, travel with on-the-go live navigation guidance, receive get-off alerts when approaching your destination to ensure a smooth ride. 



► Real-time arrivals. View real-time arrival information, which is taken directly from GPS devices positioned on buses and trains. Avoid wasting time guessing train times or bus times.



► Digital payment. Purchase bus & train tickets and validate your digital pass with a tap (select cities).


► Real time alerts. Know about issues ahead of time by receiving service alerts such as emergency or unexpected disruptions, delays, traffic jams, new construction, and more so that you can plan ahead if your bus time or train time changed.


► Live Directions. Get step-by-step bus directions and other transit directions with live guidance from A-to-B: Know how long you need to walk to your station, view your line's arrival time, receive get-off alerts as you approach your destination, and more.


► Visualize Your Stop. Use augmented reality to locate your bus or train stop with "Way Finder".


► User reports. Users can report issues found with stations, line service, and schedules so that we can inform all nearby riders about what’s going on in their area.


► Favorite lines, stations, and places. Get easy access to lines, stations, and places you ride and visit all the time. Plus, get real-time updates if/when there are changes to your favorite lines in case your bus time or train time is impacted!



► Bike routes. Get bike routes in addition to the bus, subway, train, or metro trip plans. If you ride bikes (yours or shared) we can plan a route that includes the train or bus. The app will help you plan a trip that meets your transit-needs. Indego bike docking stations are updated in real-time. Bike trip plans are only available in supported metro areas.



► Maps view. Interested in seeing the whole picture? View all stations, routes, and lines on the subway or bus map. Additionally, maps are available in PDF for when you’re offline, or underground on the subway.

### 5/5 — Express Drivers

*2025-11-11, version 5.175.0*

Courteous and kind, very nice ride to a from the Yard. Great start to my day :)

### 1/5 — Buses not arriving

*2025-07-16, version 5.139.2*

If your bus isn’t going to come, then quit wasting my time. I can walk to nrg myself instead of waiting for your express. 7:22. Your drivers love not showing up later in the day.

### 1/5 — Totally Unhelpful

*2025-04-15, version 5.139.2*

Actively unhelpful. Lists shuttle times that are inaccurate and pickup locations that don’t exist. Why bother writing a schedule if it is meaningless. Plus drivers randomly decide they are breaking and will skip stops. Terrible service with a terrible app.

### 1/5 — not helpful

*2025-04-08, version 5.139.2*

you can’t really search for your destination, most often have to find the spot on the map yourself. half the time the suggested route isn’t even the fastest. needs major updates

### 1/5 — Don’t trust the schedule

*2025-02-11, version 5.139.2*

A group of us were waiting in the cold for over an hour for a bus to come. Two busses were scheduled to come during that time. Please incorporate live tracking so people aren’t waiting in freezing temps!

### 1/5 — Not following schedule

*2025-02-05, version 5.139.2*

No bus for 6:30am. People waited in cold weather for extended periods.

### 2/5 — Not following schedule

*2025-01-27*

Monday morning buses are always late.

### 3/5 — Why are some buses not showing up?

*2025-01-21*

The buses are getting lazy! Even if you think no one will be at a stop you should still show up! It’s always someone waiting for the bus even if it is 1 person. Its the winter time, not cool that you guys dont even show up at certain times especially the 3 buses that come before the last one of the day.

### 1/5 — Where is the GD bus?

*2025-01-10*

Update: January 2025- Still the same level of service.  No 7:40 bus.  Not late.  Just didn’t come.

The service is unreliable.  The busses run too infrequently and sometimes don't show up at all.

### 1/5 — Really confusing

*2024-02-28, version 5.127.0*

This app is incredibly difficult to navigate in figuring out when the shuttle picks up. Really difficult.
