MARTA holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MARTA has 8.8K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of MARTA's written reviews are positive against 29% of TrekIT Passenger's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MARTA ships an update every 5 weeks, TrekIT Passenger every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
