Your daily MBTA commute, simplified.
MBTA Tracker gives you real-time arrival predictions for Boston's subway lines and bus routes — all in one clean, glanceable dashboard.
Track what matters
Add any combination of subway lines (Red, Orange, Blue, Green) and bus routes to your personal dashboard. Pick your stop, choose your direction, and see live countdown timers for the next arrivals.
Smart notifications, zero spam
Set up arrival alerts that only fire during your commute window. Pick the days and times that matter — mornings before work, evenings heading home — and stay informed without the noise. Outside your window, complete silence.
Live on your lock screen
