Transit VS Öffi

For somebody new to the system I would also recommend something like the Transit App, which you can put your whole trip into ahead of time and will give you literal step by step directions to and within stations, including voice prompts if you want. I don't need it in Chicago but I often use it in other cities where I don't know how to navigate things. Source: 10 months ago

If you don’t mind being on a bus for almost an hour and a half, then sure you can get on the 212 bus. Download the Transit app for accurate schedules and arrivals. Source: 10 months ago

Take a look at the Transit app. Right now I see 5 westbound and 6 eastbound between SM and DTLA. Source: 10 months ago

Sure. My app is Simple MBTA App for Android. This is how I show cancelled trips. Transit is the officially endorsed MBTA app, and I think they do a pretty good job. Source: 10 months ago

I've started using https://transitapp.com/. It works in Dublin and uses crowdsourcing for exactly this. It uses other app users' location to track buses better than the "real time" info. Source: 10 months ago

Or use Öffi, which provides operator-independent connection (and often even realtime information) data and basically everything (except of ticket purchasing) that's needed to get around using public transport. Source: about 1 year ago

I find the third-party app Öffi to have a far superior UX than any official app and it attempts to support as many transportation systems (mainly in German-speaking countries) as possible. That's just for route planning/departures/maps though. In the VBB area it can tell you which ticket to buy, but you can't buy it through the app (you need to use official apps or the vending machines for this). Source: over 2 years ago
