Description

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.

ProximiT is not affiliated with the MBTA.

Exceeds the MBTA’s haphazard mess.

Boston’s ancient buses & subways, Rapid-Transit above ground trains, and the MBTA commuter-Rail has for scores of years deviated chronically from their official-published schedules, arrives 6 or 7 minutes early at designated stops and invariably seeing few passengers, stops for whoever is there and proceeds to the next stop. This wreaks havoc with the times PROXIMITY pronounces as ex officio: reliable. Four years ago it it was of a magnitude greater then the official apps associated with the MBTA. Over 4 years there are refinements & improvements. The schedule deviations seem (especially regarding BUS service) to be weighted toward the MBTA’s putative schedule and does NOT appear to be a problem originating with the PROXIMITY APP.

Excellent service but please update for Green Line!

This app has been invaluable in the past for making my commute easier. The bus and subway trackers are much more accurate than the T’s official website and are very user-friendly and intuitive, letting you check the arrivals at certain stops without needing to pre-plan your whole trip. However, the app has not been updated to include the new Medford branch Green Line stations, which is a huge detriment as I visit Somerville fairly often and am thinking of moving there. Additionally, the stations on the Green Line D branch Westbound menu when selecting a new station are labeled all out of order and would be hugely confusing for users new to Boston. Please update the app so it can continue to offer us the helpful guidance it has in the past.

I would like to say I have very poor vision I think it would be very nice if they have a way to tell me where I am and what buses are right near where I am at the time I think it would be extremely helpful least to me A lot of times I cannot read the signs where I am and lotta times I don’t have the numbers on a pole that I can see beyond that I think you guys have come up with the best service with the transit system that I’ve seen in a long time I would love to hear from you guys thank you
