Pretty good app. I get that it's only as good as the data available from the T, so you can only count on accuracy within about 5 minutes. My biggest beef is that when you look at a specific station and scroll to, for example, the southbound trains, then check again in like 2 minutes, the app relocates itself to show you the northbound trains. This has led me to run for a train i thought i had plenty of time to catch (see inaccuracy, above) only to find that i was looking at the wrong direction.

This app doesn't appear to actually track buses, but simply report their schedule. For example I am standing at a bus stop and the bus is nowhere in sight. The yellow arrow on the app may or may not be present, but the app says the bus is arriving/departing from my stop. It cascades on down through the stops: arriving, departing, arriving next stop, departing that stop, but there is no actual bus. Real time arrival times are sort of the whole point of a bus tracking app, so while this is better than a total shot in the dark, it's not by much.

Update 3/2/23: still 5 stars! Real world bus situation: This app showed TWO 137 buses arriving at the stop I was running to within 60 seconds of each other. Google Maps said to wait 18 minutes for the next bus. THIS APP WAS CORRECT - I caught the 2nd bus 60 seconds after missing the first bus. Nice! Awesome! I love that when I'm heading to the train I can see real time arrival times and know whether it's worth rushing to the train or not. The bus tracker is also helpful and accurate. Thanks!

update: still my favorite MBTA tracking app by far, just learnt today how to use the home screen short cuts to go straight to a specific station and have the shortcut filter to the correct lines which is awesome. lets me make quick decisions between the orange line and commuter rail in the morning. old review: Great app, shows all the data I want like vehicle numbers and map locations... Make sure it gets updated to the latest MBTA API they announced today (update, it does)

This app makes public transit more convenient than Lyft or Uber. This app is wonderful. I've used the free version constantly for years. The features are perfect. I can use maps with gps and live tracking data to find buses from anywhere. I can see schedules as well for planning. Mostly, I find myself searching for the nearest bus almost constantly.

Good app. It's very useful. Accurate arrival times. My 1 criticism (I'm not sure this can be fixed) is that busses may go out of service or change routes at the end of the line. System cannot predict this. So you're wating for the 441 to arrive. It's 3 minutes away, then 2 minutes, then 1. You see it arrive, passengers deboard, the bus turns off, disappears from the system. This is likely only a problem at the end of the line which is a major stop (Oak Grove, Braintree, Alewife)

I'm sorry I didn't rate this earlier. I love this app. It complements Google maps beautifully, by giving the latest real time best estimates of bus arrival times at every stop. I appreciate the map view as well. I'm so much more comfortable taking the bus with more confidence that I won't be waiting outside so long. Now the downside: Since the latest update on March 3 or 4, many of the screens are very nearly unreadable. I'm on Android 9 or pie, not 10 for which it was updated.

Real-time predictions for buses are not always completely accurate because of traffic fluctuations, but as good as you could hope for. Plus all the schedules are easy to access through multiple paths. Really allows you to efficiently use your time when commuting. I highly recommend this app for T-riders (both bus and subway - not sure about commuter rail since I don't ride it).
