Description
This is not an official MTA app; I am not affiliated with MTA in any way.Transit Tracker+ - NYC is an ad-free version of Transit Tracker - NYC with a few additional features.Transit Tracker - NYC allows riders to take advantage of the Metropolitan Transportation Authoritys vehicle monitoring service, MTA Bus Time.Transit Tracker - NYC also includes the ability to download route schedules.Transit Tracker - NYC allows you to define alerts for MTA routes and stops; get a notification when a vehicle on a specific route is approaching or arriving at a particular stop.Please send me an email if you find a problem or if you have any comments or suggestions.TRACKING** Important! **Not all MTA routes are currently supported. MTA Bus Time will be available NYC-wide by the end of 2013. See the this site for a list of currently supported routes:http://bustime.mta.info/routes/ - Put in one or more route numbers, separated by spaces or commas, and see all vehicles on those routes, put in a stop number to see all buses serving that stop, or put in an individual vehicle number (printed on the side of MTA buses).ROUTE SCHEDULES- You can request a route schedule for any MTA route by entering its number. Schedules can be viewed as origin/destination tables or on a map. On the map, see when the next bus/train is scheduled to arrive by tapping on a stop. See all times for that stop by tapping on the info window that appears.CLOSE STOPS- Select your current location or an address you enter or select on a map as a search location for MTA stops that are nearby. You can specify a maximum number of stops to return as well as an optional route filter.ALERTS- You can define alerts for when a MTA vehicle is approaching or arriving at a particular stop. These alerts are based on distance from the stop, using the shape of the route defined by MTA.- Because these alerts depend on the vehicle following the shape defined by MTA, if the vehicle is on detour, or if the vehicle isnt following the defined route for some other reason, your alert may not trigger as expected. TWITTER- Transit Tracker - NYC displays the latest updates from @MTA. Other features:- Choose a light or dark theme.- Show satellite imagery and/or color-coded traffic data on the map.- Optionally keep the map screen from dimming and shutting off.- Adjust the update interval of MTA vehicle locations.- Choose a custom ringtone for alerts.- Add track and route widgets and shortcuts to your home screen to go straight to the map or schedule you want.

Every New Yorker who uses MTA buses should get this app. Never wonder where your next bus is ever again!
If you take the NYC MTA Buses, then you must have this app. It's very easy to look at and there are quite a few options. Being able to overlay the map with traffic data is also great to see the conditions you're dealing with. Track buses, track stations, alerts, the ability to share your bus location - it even gives you the physical bus number (4 digit number). The one suggestion I have now (and it's not a crucial one by any means) is if it's possible to put the bus route number on the graphic icon - perhaps under the directional arrow - when you are tracking a station so you can see which bus is next without have to touch each bus icon. Not very essential, but a nice to have. Great work.. Support the developer!
I love this app. This is awesome. One suggestion i would do is separate the Local/Limited buses or use one icon for Local and one for Limited. Other than that its awesome.

Thank you for making us this app. The free version is already the best NYC bus tracking app. I used it a lot and you helped me a lot. Even though now I drive more often than I take buses, I wish buying you a virtual cup of coffee by buying this paid version could make this winter a little warmer for you. :)
