NextTransit shows the next train arriving at your preferred stops — minimal input, live predictions where the agency provides them and the published schedule otherwise. Free on iOS and Android.
I was tired of how slow and unusable transit agency apps were. I knew which train line I always use. I wanted to set up the train line once, then just be able to see the next train by glancing at my Home Screen or lock screen. That didn’t exist, so I built it. It's available for 12 transit systems in six metro areas including San Francisco (BART, Caltrain), New York/New Jersey/Long Island (Metro-North, LIRR, NJ Transit), Boston (MBTA, The T), Philadelphia (SEPTA, NJ Transit, PATCO), Washington DC (WMATA Metro), and Chicago (CTA Rail, Metra).
The minimal-input idea is exactly right for a daily commute. If I already know my preferred stops, I should not have to dig through a slow transit agency app to find the next train. Showing live predictions where the agency provides them, and falling back to the published schedule otherwise, keeps the answer honest instead of pretending every arrival time is live.
