What's New in Transit

6.3.7

November 6, 2026

See your city’s blocks from dock to dock: GO Bikeshare is here. At long, long last. You can start a GO trip by tapping a bikeshare pin on the homescreen, or by planning a trip in the trip planner like you so often do. Follow your directions however you want: - Right in the app - Melodically (thanks to audio directions) - On the lockscreen with Live Activities … and if your destination dock runs out of slots? We’ll reroute you on the fly to a different dock. Oh, the magic of GO. We’ve also added support for the app in Swedish and the iPhone Duo (for folks who prefer their phone foldable like a taco). Rate us five stars and tell us what’s the best iSalsa: roja or verde

Greedy

I’ve been using this app since it first launched, I’ve been using it for years. It helped me through out many stages of my life, learning how to navigate transportation. Everything in this app was once free and accessible. They now charge for you to see all train lines and upcoming times. They only give you access to very little which are buses i dont even use. Dont support.
