Really terrific. You can click on your stop, and it tells you the times for the next three or four buses and the number of passengers

★★★★★Bernard St. Marthe· May 5, 2025
Great. Do not change it like you did to the old" My MTA app. The old My MTA app was much better than the new app currently in use.
★★☆☆☆Marta Thurston· Oct 19, 2022
This app used to be great. Now it's giving me errors all the time, won't refresh and gets stuck with a message saying there's no internet service when I have a perfectly fine connection.
★★☆☆☆CHERYL BONDS· Apr 18, 2022
When I first started using the App the busee were in chronological order, Now they are All Over The Place. What happened? This makes it harder to find the bus you need
