Transit

Cities are where we call home. We know they’re far from perfect — and utterly besieged by cars — but we’re fiercely passionate about making them better places to live, raise kids, and grow old. It’s why we’re working so hard to make car-free transportation the default way of getting around, and help transform our cities for the better. Here’s our vision for Transit and the future of cities: vision.transitapp.com ✨ ~~ Les villes sont notre chez-nous. On sait qu’elles sont loin d’être parfaites (et un peu trop envahies par les voitures à notre goût), mais on se dévoue à en faire des lieux où il fait bon vivre, élever une famille et bien vieillir. C’est pourquoi on travaille fort pour transformer nos villes pour le mieux avec des transports collectifs plus faciles à trouver et à utiliser. Voici notre vision pour Transit et pour l’avenir de nos villes : vision.transitapp.com ✨

From the ticket booth to the end of the line and every stop along the way, transit workers and operators make our world (and wheels) go round 🚏🧑✈️🫶 They’d have the entire calendar if it was up to us - but today’s their time to shine! Happy Transit Employee Appreciation Day 💚

We’re helping Boston riders take action and get the Wu train back on the right track! 🛤️💪 The mayor backtracked on Boylston Street’s Better Bike and Bus Lane, and bike lanes are now under review citywide. Bostonians deserve safe and efficient commutes — and campaigns from TransitMatters and LivableStreets Alliance are live in the app right now, so city residents can speak up! 🗣️

Le 59e Congrès de l’Association québécoise des transports (AQTr) approche à grands pas! Jake et Christine seront à Québec pour l’occasion du 17 au 19 mars 📅 Ajoutez un peu de Transit à votre horaire de l’AQTr : 🔮 Où s’en vont les services de mobilité intégrée (MaaS)?

Jake vous en parle le lundi 17 mars à 10 h 30. 🚲 Pour faire des déplacements à vélo une option viable en ville, il faut d’abord pouvoir traverser la jungle urbaine en toute sécurité.

Venez en apprendre plus sur notre nouvelle fonctionnalité le mardi 18 mars à 14 h. Au plaisir de vous voir dans la vieille capitale!

From the snowbanks of Minnesota to the deserts of California, our new partners are rolling out free Royale for more riders! ❄️☀️ Whether they’re catching a bus in St. Paul or hopping on light rail in Minneapolis, Metro Transit riders in the Twin Cities will be getting twice the nice with Royale. Next, we’re heading west to California’s Coachella Valley — SunLine Transit Agency riders are getting free access to Royale just in time for a certain music and arts festival.

We’re in a golden state o’ mind… Cal-ITP: California Integrated Travel Project has endorsed the ETA Accuracy Benchmark! 🎉🌉🎉 At Transit we know all-too-well the difference that high-quality transit data makes. Without it, ridership plummets. Service complaints soar. But while good transit data is worth its weight in gold, there’s no real gold standard. How’s an agency supposed to know when its data is falling flat, or passing with flying colours? The ETA Accuracy Benchmark, designed alongside our partners at Swiftly, Inc. (and supported by industry leaders like RTD, Miami-Dade, CapMetro, and C-TRAN) gives our industry a north star for data quality. With support from Cal-ITP, the transit data stewards for California, the ETA Accuracy Benchmark is getting a HUGE boost to becoming the mark of data quality for transit agencies big and small. Huge thanks to Cal-ITP, Swiftly, and all our agency supporters for bringing more transparency, accountability, and (most importantly!) punctuality to our industry ❤️🚌💪

We’re shaking the sand out of our shoes from American Public Transportation Association's MCX 2025, and headed back to the land of puffy parkas… but with two shiny AdWheel Awards stuffed in our suitcase!
