What's New in Version 4.1.3

Ooooooohweee. That was quite a holiday. Too much whiskey. Too much turkey. Too much Netflix. (And not enough chill.)

The holiday had its ups. But it had its downs, too: San Francisco’s agency real-time went down (and is still down on many lines!)

TRANSIT TO THE RESCUE: hours after the agency real-time tracker broke, we rolled out something special from our North Pole HQ: crowdsourced real-time data.

Citizens of the Silicon City are no longer deprived of their luscious real-time data. Now, riders are providing it themselves. Is your city deprived of (good) real-time data? We’ve got something special in store… stay tuned. For a sneak peak:

Beyond our Bay Area hijinks...

While our app was busy stuffing itself on holiday fare—some dastardly bugs took advantage of its sluggish, inflated state.

Well thank heavens for cleanses. Kombucha cleanse. Kale cleanse. Upside down hot yoga-and-SoulCycle cleanse. We're calling it the Bad Bougie Cleanse. And boy oh boy ain’t it effective.

Transit's insides are now as clean as a whistle. As sparkly as cider. And with fewer bugs than an exterminator’s flamethrower.

In other words—the bugs be gone. (At least the ones that we know of.)

So say hello to 2017. And Hello New Year’s resolutions: less whiskey, more GO, and flamethrowers galore.

Please rate us 5 shining bright stars (because kale can’t grow in the dark.)

Best MTA app in NYC

by Eman152

For years, the only MTA app I trusted to get me around the city was Google maps. It had everything I needed to calculate my travel time and figure out my best commute. After testing several options, your commute becomes routine, but one variable remains the most essential piece to an accurate travel predicton, the time of departure. This is where the Transit app has earned my loyalty. Everyday creates a plethora of reasons for why you are running late, but with Transit, the MTA always feels like its ready when you are. You always know exactly when your next train will arrive, and with the new GO feature, we can all contribute to providing the most accurate public transit information possible. When you turn on this built in crowd sourcing technology, your GPS information will anonymously broadcast the exact location of your public transportation to others who are waiting down the line. Brillant! Thank you Transit!

Used to actually make sense

by Annearchist

I live in NJ. I commute weekly to NYC on a line that usually requires a transfer to a different line along the way. This app used to be able to tell me what train to take to get to New York including the transfer times. Now it can't give me train times to New York, only to the transfer. Then I have to plot a separate trip from the transfer to NYC. The NJTransit app has full schedules that take the transfer into account, why can't this app? Additionally when I try to plan a trip using the app, it doesn't give me any information at all. The area where the route/schedule should appear is blank, no matter what start or end destination I choose. I can only get info at all by clicking on the various transit lines and scouring through them myself. I've used this app for years and I'm thinking it might be time to delete it. 3 stars since it used to be good.

Great app... but crashes!
