INSIDE THE ANDROID APP

Plan your trip.
Check your departure.

Check schedules, train numbers, and available tracks before you head to the station. The screenshots below show our Android build; the iPhone app now matches it feature-for-feature.

01

Plan a trip without a signal

Built-in schedules for NJ TRANSIT Rail, LIRR, Metro-North, PATH, and NYC Subway keep trip planning available underground. Live updates need a connection.

02

NJT track assignments

See NJ TRANSIT DepartureVision tracks at New York Penn and Newark Penn when NJ TRANSIT announces them. Train numbers, destinations, and available tracks stay together. Confirm boarding tracks on official station displays.

03

Save your regular commute

Save stations and commutes, choose your transit systems, and focus alerts on the lines you actually ride.

ACROSS SYSTEMS. INTO BROOKLYN.

Rail and subway
connections.

For supported trips, see your rail, subway or PATH legs and walks between stations in one itinerary. You can change subway lines at connected stations.

Plan an LIRR journey to Brooklyn’s Atlantic Terminal. Station-to-station walking connections are not street-address routing or turn-by-turn navigation.

SUBWAY AND PATH ARRIVALS

See the next train
in your direction.

Subway live arrivals use MTA line colors and direction wording, such as “Uptown & Queens” and “Downtown & Brooklyn.” See where the data comes from and when it last updated.

Subway live boards currently cover Times Square, Grand Central, Herald Square, Union Square, Atlantic–Barclays, and Fulton Street. Subway data is fetched when subway is enabled and its board is open. PATH arrivals are available at hubs including Hoboken, 33 Street, and World Trade Center.

THE EVERYDAY DETAILS

Tools for your daily commute.

04

Start at your nearest station

“Use my location” finds a nearby station to begin your trip—not a street-address walk or turn-by-turn route.

05

Alerts that name the line

Service alerts are grouped by line, with station-aware search. Choose your transit systems to focus on your journey. Bus support is alerts and advisories only, not routing.

06

Fare estimates, with clear limits

Trip results include subway and PATH fare estimates. Commuter-rail fares vary; official agency services handle pricing and purchases. Confirm current fares with the operator.

07

Live or scheduled?

Live GPS, Scheduled, Signal lost, and Cancelled labels appear where applicable. These labels distinguish a live estimate from the timetable.

SCHEDULES, LIVE DATA, AND PRIVACY
