What's New in Seattle Transit

2026.10.6

October 7, 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!

Phenomenal

Probably the best free transit app out there. Super easy-to-use interface and very useful not only in Seattle but all over the globe. I can see from anywhere at any time when buses, trams, subways, trains, and more come and go. I have had this app for around 9 months now and haven’t had any issues with the app, just my own accidents. If there are any bugs, they are few and far between, and probably an easy fix, seeing how easy the rest of the app is to use. I highly recommend using this if you have a tight budget or don’t want to set up yet another monthly payment or any other reason.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're thrilled the app has served you well across so many transit systems. Your recommendation means a lot to us. The Seattle Transit: Bus Tracker Team

Good app, bad monetization

The app is pretty sleek, but is full of obtrusive ads and the only way to remove them is subscription, like everything these days. I don’t want to pay subscription for my bus schedules lol even if only a few bucks a month

Response from developer

We're truly sorry for this frustrating experience. This is not the practice we intend, and we take this concern very seriously. Please contact our support team immediately so we can look into this and make it right for you. The Seattle Transit: Bus Tracker Team

Cost for pro

As a disabled rider with limited income is there a reduced rate for the pro version?

Response from developer

Thank you for reaching out! We don't currently offer a reduced rate, but we truly appreciate this feedback and will share it with our team. Please contact our support team directly at support to discuss possible options. We hear you! The Seattle Transit: Bus Tracker Team

Terrible

I deleted this app because I’m no longer in Seattle and yet they keep sending me stuff

Response from developer

We're so sorry about that! Please reach out to our support team at [support link] and they can help get those notifications stopped right away. The Seattle Transit: Bus Tracker Team

No Means No

Stop bothering me about notifications and location. I said no, what should that mean? Disgusting design.

Response from developer

We're so sorry for the frustration! We hear you and are looking into how we handle permission requests in version 2025.5.6. Your boundaries should be respected. Please reach out to our support team if this persists! The Seattle Transit: Bus Tracker Team
