23 Positive User Reviews for NYC Transit: MTA Bus & Subway
not designed by subway riders
Best app I’ve found for quick access to NYC subway arrival/departure times. It’s installed as a widget on my iphone home screen. But annoying that: (1) opening it goes straight to system-wide delays, which I’m not interested in; and (2) on the arrival time screen, it constantly lists the next train arriving *in any direction* on top. I only care about the train going inbound. But it moves the info constantly.
Great for a tourist.
I’m a tourist, and loved the App for navigating around NYC. Love that it was easy to cancel after I was done using it.
Not the same
This app is usually pretty good but every time it upgrades it seems to get worse. It’s not showing the bus information like it used to because it wants me to pay for a subscription. So now it only shows me 3 buses that I am not looking for.
Best transit app
I’ve used many transit apps and this one, by far, is the best! I highly recommend it for the accuracy and precision in getting me around NYC!

Review
NYC transit is very helpful and reliable. Some apps require you to scan the sign at the bus stop, but not this one! All you have to do is select the stop you’re at, and the rest is simple. This deserves a five star review!
Other apps should take notes
It's better, simple as that. Other apps should take notes.
This is so good.
This helps out a lot with getting to certain places and even knows when their will be a delay. I really appreciate it.
👍👍👍👍

The best transit app
This is more reliable and more visually appealing than Google Maps or Citymapper
Great Help
I recently downloaded this app to try to navigate through New York Citty easier. This app has been very helpful for me and I am happy I have it!!!
Why?
I have used this app successfully & absolutely loved the convenience BUT… suddenly the bus I use the most dies not come up as a choice. AND it advertises an app that’ll cost so much monthly. I’m a still working senior & depended on this so I can figure out a time frame. It was fantastic while it lasted!
Needs to be fixed Expeditiously !!
After 12 if there is certain buses that is not running you need to put that expeditiously
Beware of Posted Schedule
Unfortunately, B38 andB52 buses do not arrive as scheduled. Perhaps MTA can implement a better live update for accuracy- if Uber and Lyft can manage it, so can you. Or why bother with posted schedules?
Easier than official app
This app saved me so much time and money. I tried using the official MTA app but deleted after comparing the two. This one gives you multiple options and incorporates walking directions.

NOT ACCURATE!
Been using this app for about 2 years now. It’s been inaccurate I would say half the time with arrivals/departures of trains and buses. One second it tells you that a bus is coming in 3 min and then all of a sudden, it isn’t. It also doesn’t always show all alternative forms of transportation. For example, I plugged in an address, it only showed me bus routes when I know there’s also a train stop near the destination. Also, the “Quick” option also doesn’t always show all the quickest routes. You
Doesn't have important information
Where are service alerts?? That's really important info, since the MTA is constantly shutting down lines and stations for various improvements. But I don't service alerts anywhere. Also why can't I turn off bus stops? I never take the bus so when I pull up the nearest stations, I want to see subway stations not bus stops. and lastly, showing the lines in colored squares instead of traditional circles is very weird visually.
