Fare Cap Tracker

Spend enough on subway and bus rides in New York City within seven days and every ride after that is free. Fare Cap Tracker shows how close you are, so you always know whether the next tap costs you anything. WHAT IT DOES • A progress ring that counts dollars, not rides — because that's how the cap actually works. At $3.00 a ride against a $35.00 cap, the twelfth ride only costs $2.00. • "Rides to free" worked out from what's left, so the number is always right. • A Home Screen and Lock Screen widget, with a button to log a ride without opening the app. • Notifications when you're halfway there, the moment rides go free, and on the evening your period is about to reset. THE PERIOD, DONE PROPERLY The seven days run from the day of your first paid ride - not from Monday. Fare Cap Tracker follows that exactly, including the day boundary in New York time, so the reset lands when it really lands. LOG RIDES THE WAY YOU LIKE • Tap the button, in the app or straight from the widget. • Or set up a Shortcuts automation so a ride is logged whenever you pay with Apple Pay. • Or import the trip history you download from your transit account: it carries the exact fare of every trip, so free transfers and rides after the cap are counted correctly instead of estimated. Importing the same range twice never double counts. ALSO IN THERE • Past periods, with every ride and what it cost. • Reduced fare supported. • Pin a ride to a station and set which direction you were heading. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your rides never leave your iPhone. No account, no sign-in, no server, no analytics. The app doesn't use location services and never asks for the advertising identifier — the ads it shows are not personalized. Fare Cap Tracker is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the MTA.
