What's New in Transit

6.3.5

October 6, 2026

The best cyclists in the world took our hometown by storm (and liberated some of its busiest roads from cars, wahoo!) as they duked it out at the Road World Championships in Montreal this week. Dodging our city’s infamous potholes, traffic pylons, and cowbell-clad maniacs on electric BIXIs, the winners sped to the finish — and hey, so does this new faster version of Transit, thanks to a few alacritous improvements from your favourite road crew. As UCI officials doled out medals and rainbow jerseys to perspiring pedalers, we doled out some hardware of our own: a free Royale subscription to everyone who rides Intercity Transit in Olympia, Washington, our 200th agency sponsor! Make sure to send your own agency a little wink-wink-nudge-nudge if you’d like us to bring the Royale treatment to a city near you. Rate us 5 stars and we’ll put some poutine gravy in your bidons the next time you climb Mount Royal.

Fiabilité limitée, efficacité ?

J’ai plus de chance de trouver les horaires de mes bus et les correspondances utiles en allant dans l’application Plan d’Apple que dans Transit :(

Not helpful for future trips. I need to see how often a bus comes to a specific stop.

Amazing but please fix the sync on Apple watch

Please allow the watch to sync with the iPhone (and vice versatility) for starting a “go” trip so we can put our phone away and continue on our watches!
