## What is Transit Tracker?

Transit Tracker - MTA allows riders to take advantage of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's vehicle monitoring service, MTA Bus Time.

Transit Tracker - MTA also includes the ability to download route schedules.

Please send me an email if you find a problem or if you have any comments or suggestions.

TRACKING

Put in one or more route numbers, separated by spaces or commas, and see all vehicles on those routes, put in a stop number to see all buses serving that stop, or put in an individual vehicle number (printed on the side of MTA buses).

ROUTE SCHEDULES

- You can request a route schedule for any MTA route by entering its number.  Schedules can be viewed as origin/destination tables or on a map.  On the map, see when the next bus/train is scheduled to arrive by tapping on a stop.  See all times for that stop by tapping on the info window that appears.

This is not an official MTA app; I am not affiliated with MTA in any way.
