TRACKING
Put in one or more route numbers, separated by spaces or commas, and see all vehicles on those routes, put in a stop number to see all buses serving that stop, or put in an individual vehicle number (printed on the side of MTA buses).
ROUTE SCHEDULES
- You can request a route schedule for any MTA route by entering its number. Schedules can be viewed as origin/destination tables or on a map. On the map, see when the next bus/train is scheduled to arrive by tapping on a stop. See all times for that stop by tapping on the info window that appears.
CLOSE STOPS
- Select your current location or an address you enter or select on a map as a search location for MTA stops that are nearby. You can specify a maximum number of stops to return as well as an optional route filter.
ALERTS
- You can define alerts for when a MTA vehicle is approaching or arriving at a particular stop. These alerts are based on distance from the stop, using the shape of the route defined by MTA.
- Because these alerts depend on the vehicle following the shape defined by MTA, if the vehicle is on detour, or if the vehicle isn't following the defined route for some other reason, your alert may not trigger as expected.
Other features:
- Choose a light or dark theme.
- Show satellite imagery and/or color-coded traffic data on the map.
- Optionally keep the map screen from dimming and shutting off.
- Adjust the update interval of MTA vehicle locations.
- Choose a custom ringtone for alerts.

as an operator, this app makes it great to track your bus you need to relieve.
It's the only app I've found that includes bus numbers. Which us really helpful as I try to track my child's commute.
great app but sometimes quirky not showing bus that just passed. So gps of vehicles need to be more stable and accurate. otherwise its a decent app.
Missed few buses using it. Hardly no bus on my route shows up on this app
Does not work like older version. Multiple windows for bus routes open at one and blocks the whole map. Does not take you to bus route on the map.
