Transit Tracker puts public transit schedules, nearby departures, route stops, and trip plans on your device. Download the schedules for the cities you ride in, and Transit Tracker stores them on your iPhone. Once a city is downloaded, nearby stops, scheduled departures, route and stop search, and trip planning all work from the data on your device. Real-time predictions are added when the transit agency publishes them and you are online. Use Transit Tracker to: - Download the transit schedules you need from the Downloads screen, and update or delete them at any time - Download more than one city and see stops near you across all of them in one view - Find nearby bus, subway, light rail, commuter rail, ferry, and other transit stops - View scheduled departures, with real-time estimates where the agency provides them - Search routes and stops and see a route's stops and path on the map - Plan trips with the built-in trip planner, then tap any stop to see its departures - Save stops, and save trip plans exactly as they were planned - Use Apple Watch and widget support where available - Choose light, dark, or custom app themes Schedules come from the transit agencies and are stored on your device. Each download is a one-time transfer of the agency's published schedule; Wi-Fi is recommended for larger cities. Schedule data is replaced when you update a city, and the app tells you when a downloaded schedule is about to end. Coverage and feature availability vary by region. Schedules, routes, and real-time predictions depend on the data each transit agency publishes. Optional in-app purchases remove ads. You can also watch a short video to remove ads for an hour.
