ProximiT: MBTA Boston Transit App Reviews

Saving me some anxiety for sure. No more rushing because I’m sick of looking up the bus schedule or don’t have it memorized.

Please add sorting to the app.

Super useful and easy to use. Ads are minimal and it really simplifies the tracking for everything. I don’t really care about the subway tracking but it’s super useful for bus and trains. I think that one upgrade to add would be to click on a stop on the map and see its name and have the option to then see the schedule for that stop because when I’m on the bus I want to know when to hit stop so that’s why the name would be helpful and the other is cuz it’s nice to just click on a stop you can vi

The app sometimes glitches spamming you with notifications. The app also does not have up to date information for some lines (bus routes that no longer exist, South Coast Rail, Silver Hill on the Fitchburg line etc.)

The bus showing onboarding in the app is either a ghost or “not in service” in front of me…

It’s generally accurate. Generally, it will say trains are arriving much sooner than they actually are.

Thank goodness for this app - I use it everyday and it is so helpful when planning a commute. It can be a bit buggy or slow sometimes, but one of the most useful apps I have!

This is app works wonders. On time location accuracy.

I enjoy how slick it is. Plus the commuter rail addition is a nice touch. I enjoy the crowd feature. But where is the commuter rail count down times? Also. Why is there 2 Sullivan Sq station list under 90 bus going to assembly? The 4:50pm onCT2 bus at Kendall on 8/25/22 was crowded. But the application said one dot. It lied. Right it shows one bus. Befor it had 2

Probably the terrible T more than the pretty good app, but the accuracy has diminished recently.

It estimates 5minutes.off a lot

I trust this app. Its about 99.999% on the money. I live close to my T stop, and when the app says 2 min for the train, it’s pretty much 2 min. I told my husband about this app, and now he uses it too. Thank you for designing an app that actually works very well. Keep up the great work.

This app is well organized, but lacks trip planning capabilities.

So glad this all exists. I multiple modes of transit so it is good to be able to see all their statuses together at one place.

bus isn't coming at the same time it says and tracker isn't always accurate

Most up to date app that I have found

Used the transit tracker app, which was super until it ceased to exist. ProximiT is great replacement app now and enables me to plan my travel schedule. Hope it only improves in quality.

lovely app! only thing is i live on the mattapan line, and begin 90% of my trips that way, so i would really appreciate if it were included. otherwise, the app interface is beautiful and easy to navigate!

For example today, my 6:10 am commuter train from Wachusett station was 40 minutes delayed going to North station. Now it is 5:00 pm and I am still getting the notification that the morning train was delayed. I guess the developers are not updating the software or not doing the bug fixes. So, don’t trust the alerts.

Bus location on the map appear to be accurate, but arrival and departure time are wildly inaccurate. You’re better off guessing arrival times.

I use this app to follow my bus schedule and the ETAs often fluctuate wildly. One minute it will be telling you the bus is 20 min away and the next it will say the bus is arriving. I’ve grown to expect this and now watch the thing like a hawk when I know I need to catch the next bus, but it would be a lot better if it were more reliable.
