Never miss your bus again. My TTC gives you real-time arrivals, live vehicle tracking, and multi-agency trip planning for Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area — all in one app. REAL-TIME ARRIVALS Live countdowns for every TTC bus, streetcar, and subway stop — refreshing every 15 seconds. A green dot marks GPS-tracked vehicles so you can tell real-time from scheduled. Crowding indicators show you which trips are busy before you board. ARRIVAL ALARMS WITH LIVE ACTIVITY Set an alarm for any departure and get a live countdown right on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island — no need to keep the app open. Voice alerts announce minutes remaining, and a "Time to go!" notification fires when your ride arrives. LIVE VEHICLE TRACKING See exactly where your bus or streetcar is on a live map. Watch it move in real time so you know when to head to the stop. TRIP PLANNING Plan multi-modal journeys across the GTA — TTC, GO Transit, streetcars, and regional buses in a single search. Choose fastest route, least walking, or fewest transfers. Set departure or arrival times and follow step-by-step directions with a visual timeline of every leg. LIVE TRIP TRACKING Start a trip and track your progress in real time on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Get voice-guided get-off alerts so you never miss your stop — even with your phone locked. NEARBY STOPS See every stop near you with live arrivals — on a map or as a list. No searching required. FAVORITES Save your go-to stops for instant access. Drag to reorder and watch arrivals refresh automatically. SERVICE ALERTS Delays and disruptions appear before you leave so you can adjust your plans.
