Find stops near you. You can also set lines as favorites and see the location of the next bus, for example, in real time. Setting lines as favorites makes for quicker access next time you need it (as well as not having to be nearby to see it), and you can even get data like how long an Uber ride would be in comparison to the train or bus. Convenient, huh?

Find stops near you
Plan your route

Plan your route. Not sure how to use public transit lines surrounding you to get where you need to go? Plan ahead to learn about available routes and optimize your trip. Transit has a gorgeous interface that makes it easy to find nearby public transportation, and you can even plan out your trip in advance to save yourself the headache.

What is it about?

Public transit can be annoying. Sometimes you're in an unfamiliar area and aren't sure about the routes available. Or maybe you're waiting for your regular bus, only to have it not show up, and are wondering whether it's just a bit late or if you'll have to wait for the next one. Transit has you covered. The app can show you all of the available public transit lines near your location and tell you when the next vehicles are expected to arrive. And if your transit line of interest supports it, you can see the real-time location of whatever mode of transportation is on its way toward you next!

For those who...

  • Use public transit regularly
  • Live in a city where public transit is available (you never know when you might need to take it!)
  • Want to discover their city

Not for those who...

  • Never plan on ever encountering public transit
  • Prefer to drive
  • Prefer to use rideshare services over public transit

Why we love it

We've found that this is the most comprehensive app for becoming aware of public transit lines surrounding you in supported cities (and a lot of cities are supported!).

Transit is your real-time urban travel companion. Navigate your city’s public transit system with accurate real-time predictions, simple trip planning, step-by-step navigation, service disruption notifications, and departure and stop reminders... all presented in a clear, bold interface. Public transport not cooperating? Easily request a ride from Uber, Lyft or VIA, or grab the closest bikeshare.

10 GREAT THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH TRANSIT:
1) See real-time arrivals for nearby buses and trains instantly upon launch.
2) Watch your transit vehicle approaching on a map in real-time
3) Compare options with powerful A to B trip plans using real-time data.
4) Launch GO for step-by-step navigation when you’re on an unfamiliar route or want to nap/read/space out.*
5) Receive departure alarms and stop notifications as well as prompts to pick up the pace in GO.*
6) Get push notifications if service disruptions will affect your commute.
7) Plan trips, view transit schedules and get route itineraries—even when you’re offline!
8) Locate bikeshare stations, see the number of bikes available, pay for passes, and unlock bikes (in select cities).
9) Check ETA (and price) for nearby Uber, Lyft and VIA rides, and book in two taps.
10) Easily plan and pay for a trip combining Uber, Lyft, or VIA with transit. We call it Transit+
