## What is NextTrain?

NextTrain shows live times for Boston's MBTA subway, built for the trip you take every day.

YOUR COMMUTE, AT A GLANCE
Save the trips you take: your station, line, direction, and the time you usually leave. When it's time to go, the next train is waiting on the home screen, with any delay or suspension that affects it.

LIVE DEPARTURES
Every station shows its next trains for each line and direction, counting down in real time and refreshing every 10 seconds.

NEAR YOU
See the closest stations, how far a walk they are, and the next trains at the nearest one. Your location never leaves your phone.

SERVICE ALERTS
Delays, shuttle buses, suspensions, and station closures appear on the lines, stations, and commutes they affect.

LIVE LINE DIAGRAMS AND MAP
Watch every train move along its line, or across the whole system on the map, with arrows showing which way each one is heading. Zoom in to see station names, or filter to a single line or Green Line branch.

HOW FULL IS IT?
Tap a train on the map to see where it's headed and, where the MBTA reports it, how crowded each car is.

SEARCH THAT GETS YOU
"harvard sq", "park st", "gov ctr": type it the way you say it.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no ads, no tracking. Your commutes are saved under a random ID, and Settings → Delete my data erases everything.

Live data comes from the MBTA. NextTrain is an independent app and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by the MBTA.
