Comments on MBTA Tracker for Android

★★★★★ Joseph Menard · Aug 30, 2021

This mbta tracker app is great the bus has GPS, so it pretty much tells you down to the second when the bus is arriving

★★★★★ Jerome Robinson Jr. · Jun 21, 2021

This is the BEST MBTA app that I've ever used, and I've used quite a few. Very detailed and accurate, rarely are there any problems with this app.

★★★★☆ Viola Dean · Aug 29, 2025

Decent app, frustrating when you're running late and have to sit through an ad just to see The times of your bus or train

★★★★★ Donald Halsing · Aug 30, 2024

Great app! Useful for rail fans/transport enthusiasts and commuters alike. I used it when I went to a conference in Boston to track the Silver Line buses and trains

★☆☆☆☆ A. Welch · Aug 15, 2023

It used to be much more accurate, but now it shows that a bus has left a stop about 3–5 minutes before it even arrives. The accuracy issues have now expanded to the trains as well. I checked the app for the northbound Red Line before leaving, and it said it would be here in 20 minutes upon arriving 10 minutes later a train was pulling into the station, so I missed it. Now the app is saying 1 minute but the system announcement is saying 5 minutes.

★★☆☆☆ Dave Kalish · Jul 13, 2021

Note everything I'm saying is pertaining to the commuter rail: The app no longer shows real-time train locations or time estimates. The app used to work great before the pandemic shut things down, then I stopped commuting, and since I've started commuting to work again in May, this app hasn't worked. 2 stars instead of 1 because it used to work, so I'm holding out hope.

★☆☆☆☆ Tristan Alie · Jan 12, 2026

IDK why this app has ads now. I used to have a version without ads, and it somehow got replaced with this one. I just missed my bus because I had to stop walking to cock through the ads to see how long I had and the bus left without me.

★☆☆☆☆ Prashant Prashant · Jan 26, 2021

I was trying to get outbound train for Newburyport rockport tracking the inbound and outbound train. Lol Every time I clicked on the outbound train it gave me the inbound train no matter what I did lol. This application sucks. Lol
