NYC, made simple. Simple Transit NYC helps you find your next train or bus, see where it is right now, and know exactly what to do next. SEE THE CITY MOVE The Map tab shows live trains and buses across the city. Trains show their line and buses their route, each pointing the way it’s heading. Subway stations and bus stops are clear signs you can tap for arrivals. Bus routes are dashed lines so they never look like subway lines, and tapping a train or bus highlights its route. START WITH WHAT'S NEARBY See your closest subway station and bus stop together. Switch to Trains or Buses to see the three closest. Check the route, direction, and upcoming arrivals when live predictions are available. PLAN AROUND YOUR DAY Search for an address, place, or landmark. Leave now, pick a later time, or choose when you need to arrive. Choose trains, buses, or both, add a stop along the way, and reorder your places as plans change. KNOW WHEN TO LEAVE (BETA) Turn on a reminder and the app watches live times for your train or bus, then tells you when to head out. Reminders need a connection and can arrive late, so set an alarm too for a trip you can’t miss. KNOW YOUR NEXT MOVE Follow walking, boarding, transfer, and arrival guidance in plain language. Trip progress updates from your location when a reliable signal is available, and your Lock Screen shows a countdown and stops left. If you miss your stop, adjust your trip for recovery help. SEE CHANGES THAT MATTER The Service tab shows subway and bus changes together; search any line to narrow it down. Read MTA service notices in simpler language and open the original message for details. Save your usual trips to see relevant route changes on Home. Optional notifications can check those routes around your usual departure time. KEEP YOUR EVERYDAY PLACES CLOSE Add, edit, and delete saved places and usual trips. Your saved addresses and trip history stay on your device; optional online alerts use route and stop information to watch for changes. MADE FOR YOU English or Spanish, switchable right in Settings, plus light or dark mode and support for larger text. A LITTLE WEATHER HELP Get a small forecast powered by Apple Weather, with practical reminders such as bringing an umbrella or bundling up. PLAN WITH FEWER STAIRS Step-free planning uses MTA station accessibility information and reported elevator outages. Availability depends on the information supplied and conditions at the station. USEFUL WHEN THE SIGNAL ISN'T The bundled timetable and subway map work offline. New place searches, uncached walking routes, weather, live vehicles, and live arrivals need an internet connection. No account is required. Location access is optional for planning: you can enter your starting address instead. Simple Transit NYC is an independent app, not affiliated with or endorsed by the MTA. Arrival predictions, vehicle locations, accessible paths, reminders, and notifications may be delayed or unavailable. Always check posted signs and follow transit staff instructions.
