Been using this app for years— before it let you use one app to plan rideshare and transit with one request; before it let you buy passes natively; before it was a single place to see all brands of scooter; before it automatically crowdsourced more accurate vehicle locations; before it showed docked bike station counts... And *even back then* it was a better transportation app than any other. Its native UI is a cross-industry leader, it handles problems well (getting frustrated right there with you when your bus is late), and it’s not owned by one of the five megacorporations. Transit team: I salute you. I hope you become the de facto travel app for the urban world.

Pros:

Beautiful, fast, intuitive app that aggregates (and now combines!) all major transport into one: bus, scoot, Lyft, bike, etc. Essential.

Cons:

No combined planning for transit+bike yet, but they’re already working on it. Also how does everyone I know not already use this?!

One of my most used and most essential apps, I’d be lost without it, floating in a sea of untimely bus arrivals and cold hours of waiting. This is the app I trust with my well being, and my most recommended. I came to them with an issue last summer, customer service got back to me within a few hours and solved the issue within a week, and this was a BIG issue. A delightful,useful app run by delightful, capable people. 12/10

Pros:

The best customer service I’ve seen in a long time, always reliable, every update makes noticeable change for the better.

Cons:

A bit hard to use for first time bus users or those unfamiliar with how bus routes work.

Hello product rifles! Product hounds! Today I'm going Product Hunting™ on behalf of the team at Transit—the friendly green giant of urban mobility apps. We support real-time transit data + service disruptions + trip planning for public transit in 175 cities. 💚🎯🐕 2018 was the year of ~multimodal~ transit: scooters, e-bikes, the works. Our team's been busy working to integrate all those mode within Transit. But it's not enough to just show vehicles. We wanted to seamlessly integrate them with public transit: the only mode that can transport lots of people, long distances, in cities, at scale. 🚆⚖️🚍 Alas. Transit+. Our year-ending finale; our multimodal firework-blasting bonanza. It makes multimodal trips more accessible than ever. Starting with transit-oriented ridehailing. We'll show you where "transit + ridehail" is faster than pure ridehail OR pure transit. Like ridehailing to a rail station from the suburbs, or catching a subway to dodge crosstown traffic. We'll use real-time transit and ridehail data to show you what's possible—and we've made the experience FULLY NATIVE, too. 😱 Some Transit+ highlights: * We've integrated more ridehailers: Uber, Lyft, Via, Ola, and even single-city players (like Téo Taxi, in Montreal) are now supported * Which means we can show you "transit + ridehail" connections that only some operators can make * You can plan + book + pay for ridehail connections to public transit, right in our app. No app juggling required. We flew down to Kansas City (from blustery Montreal) to announce Transit+ in conjunction with a dozen transit agencies: from Silicon Valley, Boston, Kansas City, Nashville, Detroit, Columbus, Cleveland, St. Petersburg, St. Louis, Dayton, Albany, to Las Vegas. They're all enthusiastically backing Transit+ Hopefully, these five paragraphs were enough to whet your appetite, but if not, you dig further into Transit+ on our blog 👉✨ https://medium.com/transit-app/f... Super excited for y'all to check it out! The multimodal magic of Transit+ is now live in over 50 of Transit's 175 supported cities.

Whoa! This is really cool. Nice work
