Accurate, up-to-date schedules since early 2008 when we launched our app on feature phones.
* There are no recurring/subscription charges for this app for any features, such as live information. You get all functionality for one flat fee - unlike it is with other similar applications in this store.
* How many of you downloaded apps with schedules not maintained, ending up using old data? All schedules in this app show their effective date, so you can see for yourself if they are current by comparing to corresponding agency website.
Features:
1. Offline transit directions. Enter points A and B and the program gives you the best directions, including connections between lines and agencies. It works in tunnels, subways - anywhere.
2. Plan trips up to 14 days from now
3. Information includes delays, service advisories and track information where available.
4. No hassle schedule updates. No need to reinstall the application when schedules change. Download new schedules directly to your phone at any point.
5. Find relevant schedules by city or zip.

7. Track yourself on a train with GPS to check if your train is late.
