Whoever planned the annual American public transit conference to be in NEW ORLEANS and overlap with MARDI GRAS? We salute you… and fear you.
Back home in Montreal, our loyal developers were foregoing the agency meetings, palm trees, and Bourbon street lemonades — and cooked up a gumbo of bug fixes for you all. Good thing we brought them back a pot of gumbo for real.
Rate us five stars to laissez les bons temps rouler… without letting the bugs rouler out of control.

As the mercury meter hops around like a jack-in-the-box, we’re bringing you a weatherproofed wagon of spring cleaning improvements, like:
- Better bicycle trip plans. More options, fewer overlapping legs/zigzagging portions, and stronger biases for bike paths and lightly trafficked roads
- Added bathtub plugs and caulking to leaky strings in the UI, everything is pixel-perfect now

To keep the winter at bay, our designer Béa knitted up some new in-app icons that will warm your heart… and feet. You can inspect her nimble-fingered needlework by navigating to the Royale section in the app settings. (Anyone can see her new app icons, but only our loyal subscribers can add them to their homescreen!)
Other than that? New year, new bug fixes.
PS: App glitch? Dropped stitch? We’re @transitapp on Twitterville. Rate us five stars if your usual place is the Milky Way.
version 5.15.11
posted on 2024-01-30
- Fixed issue with GO when we’d ask you “are you on the J or the F train?” when you were actually on a secret third train… we’re now better at asking which bus or train you’re on when there’s many nearby overlapping transit lines
- Other bug fixes as dry as the day is long
Don’t forget to rate us 5 stars. And if you find a bug? Send us an email (info@transit.app) or drop us a note on Google Plus… we hear it now has more users than Twitter?

• We just launched the NYC Subway Rat Detector' to let you report rat sightings on the subway
• See the leaderboard of rattiest stations: transitapp.com/rats
Other relevant house-keepings and mouse-peepings:
• On an underground train? We can now detect when you're on the move (even when your GPS is spotty)
• We removed the “protected lane tag” for shared bus + bike lanes in the bicycle trip planner
• Other black magic, potions, and spells, per usual
version 5.15.4
posted on 2023-10-30
- Our real-time detour detector is now up and running in Vermont, Vegas, Baltimore, and Torrance, CA, with help from our swift-footed friends at Swiftly.
- As we continue to master the detour, we have somehow perfected the segue:
- Better bike directions are now live! Plan a trip, see elevation levels for different trips, and the % covered by bike paths
- We now have a less confusing way to display vehicle positions on transit lines with branches and loops, and local lines that run express.
version 5.15.0
posted on 2023-10-05
In this update we’ve redesigned our end of ride prompt, which…
1. asks you to rate your trip on a five-star scale, and
2. shows you how many riders you’ve helped, at the end of every GO trip, and
3. tells you how long you were GOing (in time + km)
You’ll see that we’ve slapped a new coat of paint on that bad boy, and added some gratuitous gyroscope physics — test it out. Spin your phone in the air like a pepperoni pizza. What could go wrong.

Taylor Swift: transit icon? The banjo-bound hordes are setting ridership records — in this edition of Transit we’ve thus decided to:
- Shake It Off (“it” being the deluge of real-time feeds we were accidentally loading simultaneously, which slowed the app to a crawl if you happened to be near a lot of transit lines)
- say Hey Stephen (because our editor is on vacation in Nova Scotia, unable to reign in deez Fearless puns)
Spot a bug? Speak now. Question…? We’re @transitapp on twitter.

We’re thrilled to announce that OC Transpo, every Sens fan’s favourite transit agency, is now giving EVERYONE IN OTTAWA free Royale (including the urbanist snakes). From Kanata to Barrhaven to the majestic bogland they call Orléans — it’s the best thing to happen to the 613 since Alexei Kovalev stole Boustan’s shawarma recipe and gave it to Chris Neil.
In other news? Nothing!

- Did you plan a trip from your “current location”, start walking, then plan a new trip?
- Good news: we’ll no longer tell you to “walk ten minutes to the bus stop” when you are already at the bus stop, looking fabulous.
- Just refresh the trip planner to bring your “current location” up to speed!
Other than that, we fixed some bugs under the glow of candlelight, during the Great Montreal Ice Storm of April 2023.

In this update, we’ll start asking you to rate your ride whenever you use GO - did your vehicle show up on time? was it wheelchair-accessible? were people masked up? was it super crowded?
Also...
- we’ve turned on “American spelling” for Americans, to anAEthetize their misspelT rancoUr.

We’re also introducing AUTO-PINNING: any transit line that passes by a saved location like “home” or “work” or “batcave” will appear up top.

We’ve been testing a new way of funding Transit: having the app supported directly by riders. It’s called Royale. Today it comes to more cities.
We’ve kept core features free - you’ll always know when your next ride is coming, no matter what
But some features now require a subscription. An annual subscription is $2/month
We hope you understand & hope you’ll support our team. You can learn more at transitapp.com/royale
Now it’s time to get back to work.

Now live in NYC, NJ, LA, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Denver, Las Vegas, Chicago, St. Louis and more. Look for the purple crystal ball.

Time we put the Crowd into Crowdsourcing(TM)
You can now self-report the crowding on your buses and trains. Because not every transit agency is able to count how many people are in each vehicle. So we invented a way for you and your fellow riders to share crowding info between yourselves. That’s what we call moxie.
Just tap GO. You’ll be asked whether your vehicle’s:
[ ] not crowded
[ ] has some crowding
[ ] crowded
Now in select cities. Rate us 5 stars to make the crowd go wild.

We now support sneaky routes!
Many cities have routes that change their names mid-trip. (Like Portland’s Orange Line, which is really the Yellow Line Part 2. Or Seattle’s 14, which secretly hatches into the 1.)
Now on these routes, instead of saying, “get off the Orange and board the Yellow”, we’ll tell you to sit tight.
No more awkward situations exiting the bus, then getting back on the exact same one!

We now let you override your system settings for Dark Mode! No more ominous spooky blackness, unless you want it that way ;)
Also: we fixed the trip planner bug where we’d suggest 4 hours of walking to the train station. But question: what would have happened on that 4 hour walk? Was your soulmate left there - waiting for you?

Multimodal trip planner. Now with more multi.
Before you could connect:
1. scooters, or bikeshares, or ridehails with...
2. rail
Now you can connect
1. PERSONAL BIKES, or scooters, or bikeshares, or ridehails with...
2. BUSES or rail or ferries (!)
Take that, LinkedIn: we got so many connections your head will spin... while you take a Spin scooter. To a bus.
What else? It’s July. We’re at the beach. Shuck us five starfishes; we’ll whip up some bug fixes. Bye!

What do Billie Eilish, King Henry VIII, and Janet Jackson all have in common? You guessed it! None of them are from Buenos Aires, Argentina - Transit’s newest supported city.

STOP ALERTS: when service on yo’ line is fine-but service at yo’ stop is not.
Tap on a disrupted line. You can now:
- Press the alert to make the danger triangle /! go away
- See disrupted stops*
*But only in cities that publish stop data: Montreal, DC, and... Stockholm?
That’s right, Björn, Bibi, King Carl & Mats Sundin. Welcome, Swedish city #1!
PS: tweet your agency & ask them to add stop alert data. pls.
PPS: tell the swedes
PPPS: unscramble “SFVERITAS” and tweet the answer @transitapp

Since the start of 2018, we:
- Got a gym membership.
- Slipped on the ice.
- Got lost (Transit wasn't updating to our new location).
- Fixed the app so it always updates to our current location.
- Stepped in a huge puddle.
- Got a service alert notification from Transit but couldn't open it.
- Fixed the app so that the above never, ever happens again.
- Bought crampons.
- Met our valentine at the bus stop.
- Got lots of 5-star reviews from users. (Hint, hint.)

Two truths and a lie, Transit edition:
1. Got rid of the bug where our British GPS “Daniel” started speaking random garbage
2. Got rid of the bug where departures disappeared from our schedule view like a David Blaine trick gone horribly wrong.
3. New York bagels are better than Montreal bagels.
Spot the lie? Tweet your best guess to @transitapp. And don’t forget to rate us five stars—because while our release notes may only be 66.6% true, when it comes to transit times, we’re much, much better.
