Always have my phone with me so it’s unbelievably convenient and then to have the track no right there when you’ve chosen your tickets makes commuting a breeze. Love It!

Great app. Wish the MTA app was this sleek and polished for a native iOS experience. Polished Great app. Wish the MTA app was this sleek and polished for a native iOS experience.

You normally expect apps made by municipalities to be kind of garbage but TrainTime is so consistently easy to use that it’s almost shocking! So much better than it has any right to be!
