What's New — MetroConnect

1.2 Latest September 2026 · launching on Google Play

Live NJ Transit out of the box. Real-time delays, train positions, and station-board track numbers at NY Penn and Newark Penn now come from the MetroConnect cloud service — no accounts, no configuration, it just works.
NJ Transit Bus advisories. Detours and service notices for every NJT bus route, grouped per route in the alerts tree — sourced from NJ Transit's official advisories feed. (Bus schedules and trip planning: planned for a future update.)
NJ Transit Rail alerts with line scoping — pin your line and see only what affects your train.
Smarter polling: the app only fetches data for the transit systems you've enabled.
