Functions
Transit functions as both a journey planner and a real-time navigation tool. Users can enter their destination and instantly see multiple route options ranked by speed, convenience, and cost. The app continuously updates vehicle positions, so you know exactly when your bus or train will arrive. It also lets you compare alternative modes—such as switching from a delayed bus to a nearby bike-share—without leaving the app. In addition, Transit provides crowding predictions for certain transit systems, helping riders avoid packed vehicles when possible.
