DC Metro ETA shows live train arrival times for the Washington DC Metro rail system.
Open the app and the nearest station's arrival boards appear within seconds, styled to match the displays on the platforms so it is instantly recognizable. A familiar interactive system map stays visible behind the card, so you can see directions and transfer points at a glance.
Features
• Live arrivals from the official WMATA API
• Auto-selects your nearest station
• Search or tap any station on the map
• Service alerts and metro operating hours
• Widgets for your home screen and lock screen

- During off-hours, stations now show when they open instead of "updated at".
- Upcoming departures now appear at end-of-line stations.
- Arrival times refresh faster and stay fresher.
- Fixed first/last train and open/closed times being off by a day around the early-morning service rollover.
- Service alerts now show for every platform at multi-level stations.
- The bottom screen edge is reserved for the iOS home swipe, so swiping up no longer expands the card.
