This is best transit app on the market!

If you’re in Philly and have ever used public transportation, you need this. It is hands down the best app for getting around in Philadelphia.

Way better than Septa app

incredibly well thought out, easy UI and immediate updates. great for daily commuters in philly

A Transit App for the Philly Native

Yes, this app is phenomenal for finding the best route to your destination. It will show you how to get from point A to point B. But what is under rated about this app is actually one of its strongest features in my opinion. I know what lines I need to take to get to work, or to the store. What I don’t know is where those buses or trains are. This app allows you to live track the 17 and the 2 at the same time, so I can decide which one will get me to my destination faster. Or if the next 40 or 42 intersects with the 2 route, so I know which stop I should get off on. This is a great transit app, but it’s a phenomenal tool for a Philly native who knows where they want to go and is weighing their best route options.
