Description

Track MBTA Commuter Rail trains in real time. Built by a daily rider, Boston Rail (formally 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.
- Android Live Updates. On Android 16, follow an active trip through an ongoing Live Update with trip progress and status at a glance.
- 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.

Comments on Boston Rail: MBTA Tracker for Android

★★★★★ Don Jackson · Dec 7, 2023

Don't ride commuter rail without this app! Everything you need to know about when your train is coming and what to expect. It provides info from MBTA backed up by posts from other riders. Great developer too - very responsive and dedicated!

★★★★★ R. R. · May 21, 2024

BEST value for your money - 1000 percent worth the investment. You might even find some nice helpful commenters among your fellow curmudgeonly commuters!

★★★★★ Sean Gee · Oct 8, 2024

The real time updates are so much better than the MBTA. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

★☆☆☆☆ Mark Corsillo · Jun 25, 2024

This app used to be amazing. It was the best way to know what was going on with the train. Now you have to pay $1 a month to unlock anything other than the most basic functionality? I only occasionally take the train now, so it's not worth a monthly subscription. I'd be fine with a one-time $10 charge or something, given how much use I got out of this app back when I used to commute, but not looking for a monthly or even annual fee.

★☆☆☆☆ Elena Kendall · Apr 6, 2024

Basic info is now a behind a subscription paywall

★☆☆☆☆ Kate Mills · Feb 26, 2026

I loved it for years, and I even contributed updates regularly as I commuted. Now it is subscription bleedware for all the most useful features, including those social features that were so useful. Talk about turning off your longstanding user base.
