Public Transit Made Easy

Using public transit can save you money, time, and just a whole lot of hassle that is if you have the schedule and stop information you need.

The best train apps for iPad

This app comes in handy to provide you with real-time arrival information, transit stations and stops, and even a map that has real-time locations on it. When you're looking at the different routes on the map you'll find they are color coded to make it easier for you. The stops are all identified using pins.

The app is free to use but if you'd like to enjoy an ad-free experience you can do so through an in-app purchase priced at $2.99.

So what other types of tools and features are available through this app? Well you can see a countdown to the next bus arrival, you can set up multiple reminders so you don't miss a bus arrival, and the ability to do a search by the stop number/location/or address.

If you need to find the closest stop to your current location you can do so with the nearby screen. It should be noted that you will need an Internet connection to use all the features in this app.

Although there have been issues in the past with the app being able to locate stops nearby I have had no issues with this feature. In fact, I find the app very smooth, quick, and easy to use. I actually had no idea there were that many transit stops near me.

Tap on any option to see more about that bus/train, mark it as a favorite, and see not just the next arrival time but the next few. The real-time location map is also really cool.
