Awesome app. Schedules, ticket purchase, arrival and departure notifications and more all in one place. Make being a passenger on the MetroNorth super easy. Only thing missing is a way to pay for parking at your stations. Other than that I'm a big fan. Great Job on its deployment and feature set. Thank you.

I'm pleasantly surprised at how good the TrainTime app actually is. They have even incorporated feedback that I've provided around automatically reversing routes for my evening commute. While I have to use this app nearly daily, I actually enjoy it.

Very thoughtfully designed, with features I am surprised (but maybe should not be) to see: for instance, being able to see trains going to more than one destination, click through to buy a ticket right from the planner, real time tracking, track information, car information.

This is an amazingly well crafted app. The destination selection is second to none. The payment process is super quick. The interactive map & actual arrival times (ETA) is virtually flawless. When things work you get happy customers. A+++
