It always shows the trolley approaching the bus stop on the tracker, but everytime I look up the trolley don’t be nowhere in sight. Fix this app!
Developer Response I’m sorry for the trouble! Our app relies on real-time data from the transit agency, and if that data isn’t accurate, it can affect what you see in the app. We’re always working to improve this and appreciate your feedback. If you continue to experience issues, please reach out to our support team—we’d love to help! 😊

Do you guys not have chestnut hill west line on the list?
Developer Response Hey there, really sorry - that's a big omission on our part. I'll make sure the CHW line is added as quickly as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.

A great new addition to our departure boards today - Destination Filters.
Just open up a station board, tap on Destination and choose the station you want to get to. You'll only see the services that stop there. Great for busy stations where you want to cut out the noise and focus on the lines that you care about.
Best of all, it works for bus stops as well: tap on Destination and choose the place you're going to, and we'll work out which bus lines from that stop go there.
Lots more to come over the summer - see you next time!
Previously...
Saved Stops by Distance
Now just tap the toggle on the Saved tab to re-order your saved stops and stations by how close they are to you.
Service Alert Summaries
No more scrolling through long lists of alerts. The app now creates a short summary highlighting the most recent and important disruptions affecting your journey.
Better for your battery
We’ve made major optimisations to how the app uses location and background activity while you’re travelling. You can now tap GO with confidence that it won’t drain your battery.
Smarter Live Activities
Live Activities now end cleanly when you reach your destination. You’ll also see a quick summary of your trip when a Live Activity begins.
Home & Work improvements
You can now edit or remove your Home and Work locations again. Saved places and stations also sync automatically through iCloud, keeping all your devices up to date.
Powerful new Shortcuts support
You can now start live directions directly from Shortcuts or Siri. Instead of opening the app, directions begin instantly as a Live Activity — perfect for routines like starting your commute each morning.
The app also remembers your preferred routes. If a familiar journey is available, it will be selected automatically. Otherwise, just choose a route once and we’ll remember it for next time.
Clearer train departure boards
Train times are now easier to read in both the app and widgets, so you can find what you need at a glance.
If you’re enjoying the app, a quick rating or review really helps.

• Making the separator lines in the Settings page look as nice as possible

Best of all, if you're a Premium subscriber, all updates appear on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, so you don't need the app open all the time to know when your next bus is coming, or when to get off for your next connection.
