ProximiT is a real time personal assistant for all your bus and subway needs in and around Boston.
Ever arrived at the station right as the bus or train pulled away? You could have walked faster but now you’re stuck waiting.
How about spending an eternity in a crowded underground station when you could have been enjoying the outdoors?
Download ProximiT and never waste your time or money again.
• Get arrival times for your favorite stations as you approach them, without opening the app.
• See down to the second predictions, so you’ll know when to rush or take your time and get a cup of coffee.
• Locate nearby stations in a new part of town. Stations are sorted by distance and show upcoming arrival times, so you can decide which is your best bet.
• Find out about service alerts such as delays, construction, and elevator outages.
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Latest reviews of ProximiT: MBTA Boston Transit app for iPhone and iPad
Few features but reliable
I spend a week in Boston last month and this app was a time saver.
Red, Blue, and Orange line coverage is top notch. They are still working to tackle the beast that is the green line. Since the MBTA, has only recently started to provide train times at select stations, the app creators have developed a unique system to provide "# stops (away)" data as best they can. Keep up the hard work!
This is my go-to app for Boston-area travel. Really nice UX.
ProximiT is one of my favorite public transit apps. It only does one thing (well, two if you count the delay notifications) and does it really really well. The countdown display to board keeps saving me from missing the train by a few seconds!
