NYC Transit: MTA Bus & Subway for Positive User Reviews
✓ Glad I downloadedThis app was a lifesaver for my first trip to NYC. I found it super helpful as I was also traveling also by PATH and LIRR. I like that it didn’t just have stops but locations too (theaters, stadiums). Gives you multiple ways of getting from A to B and walking directions. I highly recommend!.Version: 2019.13
✓ Great, but with a few flawsI tried this app and ‘NYC Subway’. This is a far better app. I was visiting from out of town and had visited many years earlier. I like the NYC subway. It is easy to get around. But some things are confusing and this app just does not get it right. We were staying at a hotel near the 33rd street, green, #6 line. During most of the day, only the #6 train stops there, it this app’s map says that the 4 also stops there. It does, but only late at night. It took me a day to figure out this error in these maps. But the route directions to get from one place to another were fine most of the time. We wanted to go to Yankees stadium. The app sent us south on #6 to 14th street to change to the #4. We ended up going north on #6 to Grand Central Station, then switch trains there. That seemed far more logical. Still, I could not have found my way around the NYC subway without this app..Version: 4.10.1
✓ Big helpWhen I head for the subway or a bus stop, this app tells me whether I should run to catch my ride that’s about to arrive, or relax because It’s a couple of minutes away and I can stroll to catch it. i’ve been riding the subway since the 1950s, so I don’t need the app to navigate, but it looks like it works pretty well for that, too..Version: 4.12.1
✓ Bus numbers*** Update: this issue was addressed within 24 hours. Thank you very much. This app would be absolutely amazing if I could read the numbers of the busses when I plan a trip. Unfortunately, it looks like the numbers are written in the same color as the highlight and you can’t see the numbers..Version: 4.10.3
✓ The best NYC subway and bus appThis app is the best NYC subway and bus app. Better than any competitors even those offered by the MTA. It's feature rich and thoughtful in it's design. It seems the developers actually use this app and understand the use cases that people may experience and designed around that. Fantastic job, really!!.Version: 2022.6.1
✓ New to this but enjoy how useful it isNice App. I like how it shows you the times for buses near your house as well as the stations as well… as suppose to being close by to check the time. It benefits if one wants to plan way ahead. I also like that it tells you how much the trip will cost, some tourist probably loose alot of money buying metrocards, because they don't know how much it cost to go and come back- so its nice to have. In my case though i have lived here for years there are express buses that are higher price so its good to know which ones those are..Version: 2022.5.4
✓ Highly recommend! This app is a must!I don’t typically do reviews, however my husband & I visited NYC last weekend! We wouldn’t have been able to enjoy the city as much as we did without this app! What a life saver!! This app is a must if you want to see the city and not spend a lot of money on Taxis or Uber!!! We highly recommend!!.Version: 2022.3.3
✓ I use this with CityMapperThe MTA app is more reliable with real-time info. But I use it with CityMapper because it integrates with CitiBike. Sometimes it’s faster and more efficient to bike than use the subway for short trips or to go crosstown in Manhattan..Version: 2021.4.3
✓ AMAZINGRecently, because of the NYC tax for crossing into the east side, I’ve needed to take buses and trains to a lot of my activités. This app has helped so much!!! There aren’t any ads, it’s organized, it tells you the EXACT time and location of the stop; it’s everything you need!!!.Version: 2022.1.12
✓ Great appI think the app is very accurate and the minutes to next train/ next bus are great. Sure it is not spot in always buy hey it’s NY. However I love the app and it is my go to to get around town she the most updated info. Love it.Version: 2021.4.3
✓ Like the MTA, this app needs workLive tracking is not GPS tracking but an estimate of where the bus should be. Just this morning while waiting for the bus, live tracking had the bus pass the stop I was waiting at when there was no bus. Makes you wonder why they would add this feature.Version: 2021.3
✓ SubwayThe app is great for directing you to the correct subway entrance and train number however it could be a little more informative on the direction you need to take the train, as the same trains run both directions and not being familiar with the city we got on the train going the wrong direction. The app still made it much easier..Version: 4.9.1
✓ This app has been a lifesaver!I’ve tried numerous transportation apps, and this is the only one with clear and consistent updates. Plus the layout and favorites screen is easy to read, especially if you have to pull out your phone in a crowd while you’re rushing for a bus! I would definitely recommend it. 👍.Version: 2021.7
✓ Easier than official appThis 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..Version: 2023.7.1
✓ Saved tourists!We just came into town to celebrate a birthday and wouldn’t have been able to get around without this app! It rerouted us when the subways were down for maintenance and gave us multiple options. I wish the app would keep your last searched trip’s information on the home screen instead of opening fresh every time (it got annoying having to constantly re-search our route when I just wanted to double-check the numbers), especially when you’re in a subway station with poor reception, but it was a minor inconvenience..Version: 4.12.1
✓ UI could use some tweaksFound it the most helpful in planning my trip but there are some affordances and UX that could be improved upon to make this even better. What it doesn’t take into account is the travel time between lines and real time delays fm trains that could mess up the travel sequence. I know, a lot to ask for but that would be super..Version: 4.9.3
✓ App not functioning properlyI have been enjoying it till today that my search is not going through.Version: 2022.4.1
✓ Would use again :))I visited NYC for about three days with my family, and this app definitely saved our lives. Coming from California, we never take the train or bus to go places, so taking the subway would be a huge issue. But this app made traveling so much easier. We knew exactly which train to get on, what stops were being taken, and when we had to get off to either our destination or to transfer to another train. Of course, I can’t give it five stars because sometimes the times are inaccurate, but the times are usually off by a couple minutes. To get an accurate time, the signs in the subway do give better times of when a train is arriving (i.e. 1 minute, 5 minutes, etc.). Also, the service does cut off when the train is in motion, so the app doesn’t work and doesn’t show us our exact location, but once the train stops for the next flow of people, you are able to see exactly which station and street you’re on if the train itself doesn’t provide a sign or you cannot hear the conductor. If I ever go back to NYC, I will definitely be using this app again :).Version: 4.10.1
✓ Awesome, Easy to UseIn NYC for a few days and this app was super easy to use for getting around both on the subway and walking. With it, I was the team’s unofficial navigator and I looked like a genius (I am not!)..Version: 2022.3.2
✓ Don’t understand one thing…I’m traveling to NY for the first time and I’m terrified of using the subway thinking I’ll get lost or run into a crazy person. This app has lessen my fears a little bit but I still don’t understand if I get off in the next departures or is that just something for my FYI and I stay on board until it literally tells me to stay for X number of stops. That was confusing to me. But other than that, I’m really enjoying the app..Version: 2022.4.1
✓ Life ChangingI now know when the next bus is coming to my nearest bus stop. No more getting frustrated with delays. If there is one, you can see the alternative routes and trip times. I love it..Version: 2023.3.3
✓ So far so goodI downloaded this app so that I could see exactly what it shows - how soon the buses would arrive. I was surprised to see it even does trains too. The only thing I am not sure of is updates on closings and/or rerouted trains/buses - like for construction or maintenance. I will update rating if it doesn't have this feature but otherwise the starting point is important and it does the job..Version: 4.4
✓ Excellent resource for NYC metro usersThe people behind this app have made adjustments to it since launch which has made this my go-to resource when I use the metro system. And the latest tweak to the iPhone widget is so useful for quick look at service disruptions. App is well organized & easy to use. Favorites tab is great to customize it even further for my specific travel needs..Version: 2022.5.4
✓ Great for Tourists!Stayed in NYC for a week and this really helped us experience and get around the subway transportation if it wasn’t for this i would be stuck in time square traffic all night!.Version: 2022.6.1
✓ Never lost in NY again.My wife and I have never visited the city before, and might not have again If not for this App. No confusion and clear as day instructions. If your visiting the city and the subway is a fear, then use this app and relax!.Version: 2022.5.6
✓ Great app!I used this app during a recent trip to NYC. Because of a leg injury suffered just before our trip, I needed to minimize walking while still enjoying all the city has to offer. This app allowed me to enter my starting point and destination, then gave me choices that included bus, subway, and walking options. So helpful! Easy to use, and was such a help in learning the transit systems. NYC also deserves credit for having bus stops clearly marked, and for maintaining immaculate buses..Version: 5.2
✓ It’s a difficult app to learn there’s no instructions on how to operate this app very confusingThere’s no information on how to operate this app you have to guess and I have been guessing for three weeks and still can’t get this right how about some instructions on how it’s done for those of us who are seniors and not tech wise.Version: 2021.3
✓ Great Application, a must haveThe amount of options to get to your destination by using the MTA system is amazing. I thought I knew how to get around and fast until I downloaded and started to use this app. I get at least 4 options on how to get to my destination and way faster. Great resource I can't be without. Highly recommended!.Version: 4.4
✓ Great appThis is a great way to navigate the NYC Transit System. It allows you to plan trips by destination and desired time of arrival, and includes the time spent walking to the departure stop and from the destination stop to your final destination. The app gives you several alternatives from which to choose. As an out of towner who visits the city a few times a year, this app is invaluable..Version: 2019.13
✓ Life ChangerAbsolutely the best NYC subway map! We tried four separate apps and this one proved to be the easiest to read as well as the easiest to follow. It also shows your current train’s progression to the next stop. Which proved helpful one time when I boarded the wrong train. I was able to hop trains at the next stop and save valuable time. There were a couple of times when I noticed another train, that wasn’t listed, was heading the direction we were going, but that could be something beyond my limited experience. This app should be the NYC’s official subway info provider. It puts MY MTA to shame..Version: 2021.7
✓ Good but Interface is poorThis app has a lot of potential. The best thing about it is it's reasonably accurate display of subway arrival times. But there are at least four things about the app that are annoying. 1) Certain multi line subway stops, like W. 4th St., only show the information for the blue lines, not the orange lines. 2). The subway arrival time display for each station often displays at the top of the screen where you can't see it without resuming your screen. 3) the app should remember the zoom state when switching between bus and subway. 4) you should be able to turn on or off bus/subway info in preferences so that the display is cleaner and tailored to ones main use..Version: 4.9.1
✓ Saved moneyI was looking for a way to save money on travel and this app was very helpful. Every month I spend $269 on metro north and $35 on subway but this app found me a subway close to marble hill .. this saved me $$$. Instead of spending $300+ a month I am down to $110 with almost the same destination arrival time for my morning commute.Version: 5.2
✓ I Like this appIn my opinion the app is user friendly & easily navigated. I tap into the app when leaving a destination - it’s great to get immediate travel info. I even use the app while I’m in transit, this helps because if they’re delays I can see possible so I can connect to another train line to reach my destination. I really enjoy the ‘take me home’ button; I get an immediate estimate on when I’ll arrive home..Version: 4.10.1
