What's New in NYC Transit

2026.11.3

October 29, 2026

New in this release: support for iPhone Duo, taking advantage of all the ways to use it. Now you can set a destination and keep an eye on your journey while scrolling through your feeds with Split View, and the app works great when the Duo is unfolded, with a large, expansive map view giving you lots of room to explore connections and alternative routes. Of course we wouldn't leave everyone else out: this release includes a number of small improvements, especially around iPad support, VoiceOver improvements and right-to-left languages like Japanese and Arabic. While many of you love the new design for iOS 27, there's one thing everyone agreed on: the horizontally-scrolling list on the route map was really hard to use, and made switching routes difficult. We heard you, and we've changed it to make it a lot easier to switch directions in a route map. Until next time, happy travels!

This use to be my go to… updates made it difficult

Now I can no longer change bus routes. For some reason all buses saved revert to just one route with the inability to swap. People take the bus in both directions.

Time to look elsewhere

awful time prediction

saids 2m till it arrives and ive been waiting for like 10 and now it shows 0 and still nothing

Best of the best

This has saved me so many times over. The hi is super easy and everything is intuitive. Highly recommended

RUTA 55

Muy mal servicio todas las mañanas, choferes racistas, impuntualidad y aparte le dan servicio a quien les parece no a todo el mundo.( No habren la puerta ) el chofer 808 de hoy 2 de octubre del 2026 venía cerrando las puertas a la gente y dejándoles medio cuerpo afuera;por empleados como el ocurren tantos accidentes, cuando sea algo más grave tomarán cartas en el asunto sobre este chofer
