Track MBTA Commuter Rail trains in real time. Built by a daily rider, MBTA Rail pairs official real-time data with crowdsourced updates from riders on board and at the station.
Features:
- Crowdsourced reports. The predictions say on time, but you're sitting still outside Back Bay. Other riders know what's actually happening. Share and react to live updates about delays, crowding, equipment issues, and conditions on board.
- Live train tracking. See the current stop, next stop, GPS position, predicted arrivals, train speed, and a clear notice when live GPS is unavailable.
- Boarding tracks. Get track numbers as soon as they're posted, plus typical tracks based on history.
- Departures board. See what's leaving next from South Station, North Station, or Back Bay.
- Favorites and push notifications. Save the trains and routes you ride and get notified about delays, cancellations, track changes, and rider reports.
- Live Activities. Follow a same-day trip from your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. See trip progress, next stops, predicted arrival times, boarding tracks, delay status, GPS availability, and rider report counts without opening the app. Tap the Live Activity to return to the train's details. On iOS 18 and later, see compact trip status in CarPlay and the Apple Watch Smart Stack.
- Coach history. Look up individual coach numbers to see typical tracks, on-time performance, and crowding history.
- Interactive system map. Watch trains move across the Commuter Rail network in real time.
- Schedules and service alerts. View full schedules, upcoming departures, on-time stats, and MBTA alerts for delays, cancellations, and track changes.
- CapeFLYER and Gillette Stadium. Supports special event service.
- Dark mode support.
Train locations, schedules, and predictions come from real-time data made available by the MBTA and MassDOT. App is not affiliated with the MBTA, Keolis, or MassDOT.
