What's New in Simple Transit NYC

1.2

September 29, 2026

• New Map tab: live trains and buses across the city. Trains show their line and buses their route, each pointing the way it’s heading. Tap a station or stop for arrivals, or tap a train or bus to highlight its route. • Service shows subway and bus changes together. Search any subway line or bus route to narrow it down. • Clearer notice summaries: on iPhones with Apple Intelligence, MTA notices are explained in plain words, right on your device. • Plan ahead: choose Leave at or Arrive by for any time in the next week, and get a reminder based on live times when it’s time to go (beta). • Apple Watch support: see your trip progress, next stop, and favorite routes on your wrist. • More ways to ride: when several lines work, the app names them all so you can take whichever comes first. • Fresher schedules: timetables update automatically, so planned service changes show up without an app update. • Smarter alerts: notices about a single station only appear when your trip uses that stop, and train lines read clearly (“2, 3, and 4 trains”). • New Settings with light and dark mode, language, and your trips, places, and travel preferences in one place. • A cleaner home screen with a floating tab bar. Transfers now appear right in My trip. • Your Live Activity shows a departure countdown, stops left, and arrival time. • Improved spacing, text sizing, buttons, and navigation across the app. • Fixed route filters, tracker dismissal, misleading bus counts, and confusing service messages. • Now in Spanish. Switch languages in Settings, and MTA notices can be translated on your iPhone (iOS 18 and later). • Bug fixes and accessibility improvements.
