What's New in Pittsburgh PRT Transit

2026.10.5

October 1, 2026

A great new update for you today: Smart Suggestions, Delay Assistant, Siri AI improvements, faster launch speeds and a new, refined app design. Read on to find out more... ----- Refined Design: We haven’t changed much, you’ll be glad to hear – we’ve just tightened every screen up a little to make your experience more pleasant. Now you can use the app on iPad as well. ----- Faster Launch: Every second counts, so we've worked hard to make the app launch within 0.5 seconds, making sure you get the info you need as quickly as possible. ----- Smart Suggestions: The app keeps track of your journeys and stations (private by design) and shows you the best way to your regular destinations at the time you need them. ----- GO – Better Than Ever: When you tap GO, the app is even better at giving you up-to-date information – and for PRO customers we’ve introduced Delay Assistant, letting you know if there’s an issue up ahead and will give you alternative routes you can take while you’re on the move. ----- Siri AI: No need to squint at the screen while you’re walking to the station – just ask Siri, which now sees everything on your screen, and you can ask for live times and directions without opening the app first. ----- We’ve moved Alerts into the Saved tab – now they live alongside your stations and places. You can now move your stations, places and alerts around to suit you, and give them distinct colors. ----- Your feedback makes the app better. We'd really appreciate it if you could spare a few moments and leave a review in the App Store for us. We read every one (good and bad!) and we always appreciate every rating and review. Still reading? You might have noticed that we've replaced the swap button on the journey planner with drag indicators you can use to move the start and end points. Why would we do that? Hmm... find out next time. See you then! ----- OK, it's so you can add extra stops to your journey. Coming soon!

ALL ABOUT THE MONEY AND ONLY THE MONEY

Downloaded , noticed they want you to pay monthly for a subscription TO TELL ME WHEN A BUS WILL ARRIVE ? PLEASE !! Immediately deleted. The cheapest membership is $30/month , a pure joke .

Three Stars

You have to pay for so much of it and sometimes the times are wrong on the times when the bus comes but otherwise it’s a good app, i use the free version because you have to pay if u want more routes and stuff and i don’t feel like doing that.

Pay for the app?

The transit app has become difficult to use with trying to catch a PRT vehicle so I figured PRT would have an app. They want to CHARGE for it. PRT is completely unreliable on the red line and 82. Buses and trains just don’t show up. Now they want to charge for their app to show “true” times since their schedules are meaningless. I’ve been riding these buses and trains for over 50 years. Service has never been worse!!! They want to charge for this app to use their service that we already pay for. RIDICULOUS!!! Get it together PRT and actually provide good reliable service to the Greater Pittsburgh area. You are missing the mark by a long shot!

Complete trash

This app forces a trial subscription down your throat despite my best efforts to avoid it, it can't do basic things like look up stations (just sits there loading forever), it can't differentiate between routes (for example it thinks there's a single 87 route; it's unaware it's split into 87M and 87S). It sends random information to my apple watch without me requesting it, it's deceitfully named to look as if it was the official (free) app, then it begs me to rate it after 2 minutes of using it. This for the low price of $90 or $8/month forever. Just utter garbage.

Poor design and clear cash grab

The app design is clunky especially with regards to where alerts are, there’s better apps for the same cost or less, additionally the name is too on the nose and makes people think this app is official from the transit agency when it clearly is NOT
