Transit - Subway & Bus Times

Public transport planning for city travel

Transit - Subway & Bus Times helps riders plan journeys by bus, subway and other local transport. It is aimed at commuters, visitors and anyone who needs a clearer answer than simply seeing a route on a map: which service to take, where to change and when to leave. The app uses information from more than 1,000 cities and transit agencies, so its usefulness depends on coverage in your area.

Live departures and guided trips

The app focuses on current service information rather than fixed directions alone. It can show nearby lines, departure times and estimated arrivals, then guide you through a trip with transfers included. Transit also combines public transport with options such as bike share, scooters and rideshare where those services are available, which is useful for handling the first or last part of a journey.

Useful details before you board

Transit includes schedules, stop information and trip planning for times when a connection is unreliable or unavailable. In supported locations, riders can also see reports about crowding and service performance from the wider user community. Ticket purchasing is available in some cities, although coverage varies by transport agency. The large, direct layout suits quick checks while walking to a stop or waiting on a platform.
