An update is coming that will include all MBTA routes, but to get them now just select to 'Update Routes'. A simple and intuitive Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority application for the iPhone and iPod touch. - Get ...
App requires your location and does not function properly otherwise Routes are not labeled so you have to open each one and read streets Map does not show stations So you cannot plan a route ahead of time Useless unless you are already on the T No titles for routes
This app is just for buses Commuter Rail subway and boats are NOT included So DONT believe the title you arent getting the MBTA The app description is unclear it talks about buses but doesnt exclude other modes But the title definitely implies all modes so its very misleading Also even for buses it is just soso There is no system map If you are interested in going to a place and wonder what buses go near there you are out of luck with this app I gave it two stars because for the situation where you know your bus route and want to look at schedules it seems to be pretty accurate It is NOT the whole MBTA
This app works well most of the time however half of the stops for route 22 outbound the one I most frequently use are missing This problem does not change no matter how many times I email them Missing stops
Loving the iOS8 widget to show favorite stops in the phone notification pull down 90 of the time Im opening the app to look at favorites so big time saver Love the new widget
I have found this app to be great Very accurate and helpful for me to get where I am going I would recommend it I love this app
I used to rely heavily on this app when going to and from work It used to work like a dream Not so much anymore DO NOT GET THIS APP It does not work anymore It no longer gives times or predictions for any stop Dont waste your time with this one Horrible
This app really says what it does How convenient it really shows where the bus is located Thats awesome Finally
This used to be the best app I had ever downloaded Since about 3 months ago there have been mystical arrival times for the 3 routes I use on a daily basis that do not show on my boyfriends catch the bus app and those mystical busses never arrive So when Im alone I never know if Im aiming to catch a bus that will show up or that doesnt exist From best to ok
Disappointed in their lack of preparation If u know that an iPhone update is coming out make sure your software is compatible with the new OS Duh Update wont work
I bought this app because the other bus app I had been using for years suddenly stopped working Unfortunately this is even worse it looks like its working but the times are completely off I missed my bus to work this morning then had to wait in the rain for 15 minutes When the next bus finally came the app still said I had 5 minutes Absolute garbage Doesnt work
Very reliable most of the time Does what it promises Just needs an update for iPhone 5 Nice
On an IPad2 the app crashes every 20 seconds A crashfest
This app only works occasionally and when it works and when its doesnt is totally unpredictable When it works its greatbut it fails often enough no current predictions that I simply cant trust it Really
Bus times are never accurate I missed the bus many times and had to wait too long for next bus since I m not on a main bus route and ran late thanks to this useless app Dont buy this app
For an out if town person this app is totally inscrutable Could not figure it out at all Do not purchase it Where the heck are we
Use this daily works great pretty accurate iOS 8 widget is a God sent Best mbta bus app
Great Had a hard time at first understanding it but now I have it under control Amazing how it could track the buses exact locations I Love it
It shows no bus times or locations Literally worthless I cant believe I paid for it App completely failed today
I downloaded a free one wich is way better Is accurate but could find it for free
Great app saves a lot of time when commuting Only issue for me is that the Green Line is not supported Otherwise nearly perfect Amazing
Excellent app for finding bus routes and arrival times Biggest problem is that the main screen listing all your favorite buses doesnt update properly So dont rely on that The detail screens are very accurate Also there is a graphic to show buses on map which works about 12 the time So close and could be perfect
tried it to find one route 86 during recent visit to Boston only info i got was that the next bus was 92 mins away from my stop ALL DAY about at useful as a chocolate hammer
I dont understand what everyone else is complaining about it works fine for me and I use it for the iPod Touch this app tells me how many minute the bus will arrive at the bus stop closest to me I think its Great if you live in Boston i suggest you download This app is GREAT
Not sure what the low reviewers are complaining about cause this app is spot on for the routes I take I certainly appreciate knowing rather than waiting Primarily use on the routes to and from Forest Hills Thank you Works for me
This will seriously change your appreciation for life This app will change your life
Not reliable Uhm
Works about 80 of the time on my phone but crashes every single time I hit Favorites on my Ipad mini Alright
This app is worth ten times the cost Very accurate extremely useful always helpful A must for MBTA bus commuters or visitors Useful Accurate Great
This app used to work reliably But for the last week or so the times are consistently wrong even with regular updates I missed a few busses due to this app I cant use it anymore Doesnt work
As the other reviewer mentions below this is only for the bus system The app description is very misleading Guess I should have read the reviews Misleading description
This app not so good any longer Information isnt always available Routes keep coming up No Current Predictions which is about as helpful as a headache on Christmas Used to be ok
Glitch in favorites where no current predictions displays for routes that do have an ETA when info is checked Please fix No current predictions
This app is beyond helpful I have a set routine for busses and this app will always give me accurate times I know when I need to step out of my house or how long I have to wait for the next bus Amazing app for busses
I have been using this App for years Never had an issue If you live in Boston and use buses this is essential Get it Great bus App
I bought this app yesterday and happily saw that they could locate the buses which is an important feature to me since the area around my home oftentimes suffer from traffic jams and predictions by minutes for example by NextBus could be way off Unfortunately this morning when I really needed to catch the 78 bus it stopped working only minutes no realtime bus locations Works for other routes like 74 but not the one I need to take Hope they can fix it soon Does not show where the bus is
Thanks for the update This has been my primary app for MBTA info for years now I think its the best out there for riders who dont always use the same lines and stops Glad to see its still being maintained My goto for MBTA
This app is my one and only app for bus travel in Boston On my homescreen and I use it everyday Would love to see it take advantage of my iPhone 5s screen My goto
This app used to work really well but within the past week it started displaying different times for the same stop depending on what view youre in For example when Im in my favorites list it would say 10 minutes When I clicked on the stop to get the map view it would say 5 minutes Id switch back to favorites and it says 10 still It makes no sense and is no longer accurate It stopped working
I used to love the app because it was so helpful but since updating it everytime i try and load it it just crashes Keeps crashing
This app has been very reliable until just the last few days when suddenly different arrival times are shown for the same bus in different views and neither time seems accurate Please updaterepair the app I depend upon it daily Views out of sync
This app has been my favorite app for bus timings You can favorite all your common bus routes and get to them very easily and it lets you know in minutes how soon it will get there Sometimes the MBTA data isnt accurate but otherwise this app is great and its finally been updated for the iOS 8 color scheme Looks good and you can see more busses on the favorite screen New update for iOS 7 makes this the best Boston transit app
Its mostly junk it works now and then may have been a waste of money Just seen a bus that was not on the list
There are times when buses just disappear from the screen and others scheduled to arrive in a few minutes are suddenly 60 minutes away There are better apps than this for only 99 Catch the Bus comes to mind that wont make you want to tear your hair out Hit or miss
Needs to state clearly that this is Bus ONLY not all MBTA services Misleading
It WAS almost perfect and reliable I got to my bus every single day in the right amount of time Now the times are WAY off or give no predictions at all Please fix this ASAP FIX THIS APP
but buses I take dont always show up with realtime locations like I see in other apps and the NextBus web site Widget is neat
My favorite app for using the bus in Boston and Somerville Its the easiest to see all the stops around you and to see all the bus line and times for each stop at a glance It just needed an update Took way too long but its here Finally an update
Need to upgrade Not good
I take the 57 every day and a few months ago in a route update the app changed the route to say that the 57 goes all the way to Haymarket instead of stopping at Kenmore The 57 DOES NOT go all the way to Haymarket Kenmore is the last stop on this route and I have no idea why they changed the route This inaccuracy also causes the buses locations to not show up on the map which is my favorite feature of the app I now manually update the routes about once a week in the hopes that they fix this error Until they do this app is stuck at three stars with me despite otherwise being useful Please fix Good but inaccurate
I agree with the recent reviews for this app It was incredibly reliable until a few weeks ago If it doesnt get fixed soon Ill have to switch to another bus app Its not making for a happy commuter experience Needs an update
