Store listing

Full description
Your bus, down to the second. Transit Now shows real-time arrivals for the stops around you, the moment you open it. No searching, no tapping through menus. Just your bus, counting down. WHERE IT WORKS • Boston: MBTA buses and subway • East Bay: AC Transit, in Oakland, Berkeley and beyond, with service alerts and detours • Toronto: TTC buses, streetcars and subway, with subway alerts and detours STRAIGHT FROM THE SOURCE In Boston and the East Bay, arrivals come from the MBTA's and AC Transit's official real-time feeds, updated as the buses move. DOWN TO THE SECOND Watch your bus count down. Red means it's right there. Orange means soon. Green means you've got time. HEAR YOUR BUS COMING Pick your bus and Transit Now keeps watch. A voice countdown ("5 minutes… 4 minutes…") and an alarm a few minutes before it arrives, with the screen off and the phone in your pocket. SEE WHICH SIDE OF THE STREET Every stop around you on a map, and your bus moving toward the stop. MORE • Favorite stops with your own names and emoji, in your own order • Home-screen widget • Live notification with your next arrivals while you use other apps • Running late? Share your arrival time so whoever's waiting knows when you'll get there • Night mode for the last bus home • Wear OS app: nearby arrivals on your wrist • Every feature is free Made in Toronto by an independent developer, since 2011. Featured in blogTO, MobileSyrup and the Toronto Star. Questions or a stop that looks wrong? [email protected] Transit Now is an independent app. It isn't affiliated with or endorsed by the MBTA, AC Transit or the TTC.
