Transit Tracker - Boston App Reviews

App did not show all the available bus lines even with current location turned on. Times listed were not accurate. Ads blocked the maps and as I tried to look through the app many ads popped up. Not recommended for using in Boston mbta. Used apple device

I stood waiting for a ridiculous amount of time and supposedly two buses came and went yet I saw none.

Useful for trip planning in terms of what bus stops are around you, how to get from A to B, etc., but under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you use it for accuracy on when buses are actually arriving. I think its just counting down to their scheduled arrivals and if youre bus is 15 minutes late, this app will not tell you. :(

I purchased this app thinking it really would cover the entire MBTA and was disappointed to discover that doesnt include all the ferry routes...specifically Hinhgam to Rowes Warf. Will you be adding?

Does not give real time update for commuter train.

Just wasted a dollar. Does not track real time. Only reason i bought is because train was delayed and i wanted to know where it was. To my surprise their ETAs are estimated and pre determined by 10 min intervals at night. Do not download this app.

I recently began having to utilize the bus system around Boston/Cambridge and was dreading the prospect. However, this app has made that endeavor much more tolerable and I am a huge fan of the continued improvements being made in its functionality. If you use the MBTA system regularly, get this app!

I was hoping to help myself choose between two different subway lines during my everyday commute; however, the timer is completely unreliable. What is this timer based on? Obviously not on real time data. It needs to be based on the actual locations of the trains. The developers should be ashamed of this hoax! Please fix it soon.

Nice UI, but I want to see (and bookmark!) all buses at a stop. Eg bookmark "Harvard Upper Busway" and see which bus leaves next, as many routes will get me home...

Route 66 bus route only works one way. No outbound data. I generally love this app (previous versions were fine) and would give it 5 stars otherwise though.

I liked this app, but the new update will only allow you to look at a bus route in one direction. The app appears to decide if you need the inbound or outbound route based on your current GPS location. Its annoying as youre walking toward a stop or not at the precise location for it to correctly guess which way you want to go. Even in my apartment I can only look at the bus routes traveling on the side of the street I live on. Those going in the other direction cant be viewed even when trying to manually select the ->/<- arrows. Annoying, fix this! In the meantime it makes the app pretty much useless.

Two feature requests Add traffic Add notifications of when bus should arrive at start position and stop you want to hop off - this should be customizable for each users preference Thanks for the great app

Has everything you need to get around Boston on the T. However I had an issue with the bus times being off today so I was wondering if youre using mbta next bus site to track it with the gps of the bus? I was with someone using yourbus on a droid and its correct on time down to the second. I know it uses the next bus site so maybe update the app? Then it will be perfect and Ill give it 5 stars!

I have been trying out all different apps and this is by far the best! It has the trip planner feature which actually works :) Very excited I found this app.

Works really well.

A very helpful app. The schedule of upcoming departures and countdown clock makes it easy to know when I need to leave the home/office to catch the next ferry. My only frustration is that it often didnt automatically show the nearest station/terminal so I had to pay $0.99 for the upgrade to be able to bookmark them.

This app, while seemingly reliable, is only slightly worse than the mbta. More than often there is an arrival that just never comes while giving false hope to users of the app. Buses go out of service without the app realizing. Since this is a paid app recommended by the mbta I expected more

Constant ads that get you sidetracked. Can’t find the routes I want. I deleted it.

Works fine, but has far too much advertising. Theres an ad constantly covering up part of tge map, and every time you tap something it show a big fullscreen ad.

Been using this to figure out the bus routes in cambridge and neighboring cities, and its the best Ive found. Figures out the best combination of walking, buses, and T to get me from point to point, and comes up with different options. And lets you know where the bus is!
