The best cyclists in the world took our hometown by storm (and liberated some of its busiest roads from cars, wahoo!) as they duked it out at the Road World Championships in Montreal this week. Dodging our city’s infamous potholes, traffic pylons, and cowbell-clad maniacs on electric BIXIs, the winners sped to the finish — and hey, so does this new faster version of Transit, thanks to a few alacritous improvements from your favourite road crew. As UCI officials doled out medals and rainbow jerseys to perspiring pedalers, we doled out some hardware of our own: a free Royale subscription to everyone who rides Intercity Transit in Olympia, Washington, our 200th agency sponsor! Make sure to send your own agency a little wink-wink-nudge-nudge if you’d like us to bring the Royale treatment to a city near you. Rate us 5 stars and we’ll put some poutine gravy in your bidons the next time you climb Mount Royal.

Arriving early? Bit late? Perhaps you’re spiritually a Japanese railway conductor and plan to get there PRECISELY on time? Let your friends, family, and felicitous followers know — by sharing a link to your live GO trip. Here’s how it works: 1. Start a GO trip 2. Get a shareable link 3. People who open your link can see your trip, current location, and ETA Rest assured: only people with the link can see your trip, and you can turn off your broadcast at any time. AKA you no longer have to text your friends “I’ll be there in 10 minutes” (when you’re actually 15 minutes away…) because they can now see your ETA update in real-time. Transit delay? Sidetracked by a cute dog? Not sure if you’ll make the last train? Keep your loved ones up-to-date with your progress. And if you’re trying to coordinate a mid-ride rendezvous? Drop your GO trip link in the group chat, and open your friends’ links to see everyone’s current locations + ETAs on the map. Because why GO solo, if you can throw a GO party ;) Rate us 5 stars for putting the punc in punctuality, danke

It hasn’t just been a summer. It’s been an Odyssey. We’ve returned from the Trojan bug wars looking a little bit worse for wear. But the lotus flowers were delicious (from what we remember) and boy, do we have stories: - Boston Green Line riders rejoice: we defeated the six-headed sea monster of branched train lines: instead of making you swipe through six different train “directions” (when it was really the same train, just stopping at different platforms) we now show just two train directions, with the branches and platforms nested underneath - We added better handling for connecting lines, so you know which bus and train lines you can easily transfer to when searching a station or tapping on a trip plan - We made sure that scheduled disruptions appear in all the various places that they should have been appearing in all along! (Like putting strikes on cancelled departures when you tap open a line or trip plan. Oopsie.) - A couple little typographical tweaksie-doodles on the Home Screen widget that helps you plan a trip to a saved location Hope that satisfies your fixins for bug fixes! Now it’s time to meet all of the lovely suitors who moved into our house to keep our family company while we were at sea… PS: rate us five stars if the best way to enjoy a bug fix update is in 70mm IMAX.

OK. So maybe our beloved Canada isn’t a soccer powerhouse quite yet. But if there was a shiny cup for being romantic about public transportation, the Transit team would be frontrunners every year — and you’d be our honorary captain. From fond memories of rides across the city, to your obsessive impulse to know exactly how much longer your morning commute is versus your afternoon one (it’s important, OK!) our all-new Trip History feature lets you run the tape back and look up stats for all your past GO trips. Once you enable Trip History in the settings, you can start tracking all the tracks you’ve travelled down, including: - every GO trip you’ve taken - the number of riders you helped via GO crowdsourcing - the rating you left each trip - what the weather was like - how long the trip took, how long you waited - top speed (wheeeee) and more For additional info, take a trip down your bus-filled memory lane: transitapp.com/en/features/trip-history We’ve also snuck in a few other surprises before the final whistle, like: - Helping partner agencies who are playing host to the football fiesta (in Vancouver, Toronto, Kansas City, Seattle, the Bay Area, and beyond) make it easier for spectators and regular city folk to navigate their cities, with little improvements here and there - Invisible backend improvements that let us swap real-time sources faster than before. (Has your agency made an on-the-fly fix to where their transit data is stored? No more stale data lingering in the app — we’ll now update to the new source in a few short minutes.) - Homescreen widget update! Our wee ol’ widget now lets you plan a trip in one tap for up to four locations — like home, school, work, and one other mysterious fourth place where everybody knows your name - Bug fixes, obv …and that’s it!

First it was the tulips. Then the lilacs, the peonies, and now the jacarandas. The pools are open, the parks are packed, summer’s in the air — and so are the hooligan hoots of patio-raiding patriots downtown.  (Apparently there’s a certain foot-oriented sports tournament going on?!) Just in time for kickoff, we’re sounding the Transit vuvuzelas with two big partnerships: Toronto and Vancouver! TTC and TransLink connoisseurs have been upgraded to Royale for FREE — along with a smattering of other in-app upgrades — thanks to partnerships with two of Canada’s most iconic transit agencies. From the CN Tower to the Seawall, we're doing our darnedest to get Royale to more and more cities. We want ALL release-notes-reading Transit superfans (but also, just regular transit riders!) to have the best app, the best data, and to feel secure knowing that their feedback about their local bus and train service is making its way to agency staff. To date, more than 180 agencies sponsor Royale for their riders! If you are a lucky Torontonian, Vancouverite — or just someone with a Royale case of FOMO — we have all the partnerships deets at our blog: transitapp.com/blog On the non-partnership-side-of-things we’re trucking along doing our thang. - If your phone kills a background Transit session to free up memory for other apps, we’ll restore you to exactly where you were before — instead of just sending you back to the homescreen. - AKA no need for a panicked frenzy of tappings to replan a trip if you switch apps on the go — we’ll remember whatever you’d looked up in the trip planner (and which screen you had open) for the next hour - Bugs: we’ve eradicated our fair share. Save those mosquito nets for the cottage! Rate us five stars for putting the bicycle in bicycle kick™

The tulips are apoppin’. The groundhogs are back to doing groundhog things. Spring is in swing, allergy meds are flying off the pharmacy shelves, and the latest Transit update is percolating through the iPhone airwaves. Here’s what’s new with us — what’s new with you? - You can now share a trip plan with friends, family, frenemies, rubes, dandies, and anyone else worthy of your commuting decrees: plan a trip, tap the share button, and pass one along - (Because nothing says “I love you” like “can we please take the bus instead mom here it’s literally this easy”) - If you don’t see the “share a trip” button right now, you should in a few days! What else’s afoot? - You can now book paratransit and other flexible modes right from the homescreen with a new “Request ride” button (in select markets) - Cześć, Polsko! We recently added 35 cities across Poland and our app now speaks impeccable Polish to boot - If you don’t need subtitles to watch Kieślowski movies… this is your lucky update - Skipped stop bug fix: turns out we were silently removing skipped stops from the stop list on detoured buses. So there was no obvious way to see that your stop was gonna get skipped — and no alerts to warn you if the bus wouldn’t stop there. Thankfully we’ve come to our senses, and stopped skipping skipped stops - And we no longer refer to all trains in French as “RERs”. (Were our Parisian transit analysts being paid off by l’Académie Français to rename Québec’s rolling stock? Next thing you know we’ll be calling them trains au chocolat instead of chocolocomotives.) - Drumroll please: a few other bug fixes Rate us five stars if mom always approves of your trip plan

Whether you’re training to work, training to become an Olympic athlete, or receiving PR training on how to deal with the fallout after giving a sneaky poke to your curling rock… here at Transit we know that everyone’s got their own routine. Some start early. Some start late. Some end in glory. Others, with a broom in your hand, a tail between your legs, and the Swedish paparazzi chasing you through the hastily-built rinks of Milan. No matter your schedule, no matter your granite-touching tendencies, you can now make every trip a clean sweep with our all new *custom hours* for alerts: 1. Just tap any transit line 2. Subscribe to service alerts by tapping the bell icon 3. Select “custom hours” and block out your commuting schedule We’ll make sure you only get notified about issues affecting trips at the times you care about! No more alerts about the 4AM red eye running behind schedule, the 11PM party bus catching a flat, or the post-match shuttle being rerouted to the IOC disciplinarian’s office — unless those are the trips you take, week after week ;) More info here: https://go.transit.app/customhours What else? When we haven’t been glued to the TV watching ice dancing meltdowns and bobsled jamborees, we’ve been collecting bronze, silver, and gold medals at fixing our own bugs. Is it a rigged system? Maybe. Anything to motivate the devs. They’ve also been busy adding… - Image support for service alerts (hello maps of moved stops!) — thanks to Metro Transit in Minneapolis for being the first to trot these out. Tell your agency: a better world is possible! One picture is often worth a thousand words of banal service change descriptions - Quirky bus stop? You can see “pickup only” and “drop-off only” stops for relevant bus lines. Tap any transit line, check the list of stops, and we’ll show you if those destinations are pickup/drop-off only. (If you start a GO trip and select “set destination” afterwards, we’ll also flag any pickup/drop-off only stops.) - Other small things you won’t notice unless you are the All Knowing One Rate us 5 stars if omniscience is your side hustle and omnipotence is your superpower.

The electric fire is roarin’, the cosies are on the teapots, and Transit’s 8th floor office has been festooned with so many SAD lamps we’re being regularly mistaken for the Northern Lights. But while we’ve been blazing away the artificial daylight hours here in subarctic Montreal, the hour for shining the spotlight on our January bébé has not yet arrived. You’ll have to content yourself with bug fixes this time around! Keep your eyes on high alert for something that lights up detours, delays, skipped stops, and track changes at the most timely times. We’ll have more to say in the next update ;) Rate us five stars for putting the ouroboros in aurora borealis.

We’re making it one to remember. - Platform codes! Looking for a train, but aren’t sure which platform it’s stopping at? We’ve added support for all-new platform codes (starting with the first few early-bird agencies to support them!) - Any time you tap on a route, look up a-to-b directions, or start a GO trip, we’ll show you the “platform code” associated with each departure in the ETA card (whenever we have platform code data) - Agency links! If you’re among the lucky folks riding with one of Transit’s 180+ partner agencies, your agency can now set up a cornucopia of custom links for you to explore in Transit’s settings page. Lost and found? Ticketing info? We’ll now point you to all yer agency’s most important pages - Lastly: something bodaciously GO-dacious, for over 4M qualifying crowdsourcers. Stay tuned. The countdown starts now. Rate us 5 stars in 3… 2… 1… See you in 2026!

Halloween is done. Daylight savings is over. The baseballers have gone home for good. Yet the season of sleigh bells is not yet upon us… which means it’s time to bask in the wonderment of GOvember, a middle month for raking leaves and plowing through the leaderboards on your local buses and trains. While you’ve been busy turning public transit crowdsourcing into a gladiatorial spectator sport, we’ve been plotting our own suite of entertainments. Like any worthwhile surprise, we’re giftwrapping it in mystery and allusion. (If you’ve put the “GO” in “VERY GOOD” this year? Then it’s statistically probable you’ll enjoy what’s coming down the bus pikes and train tubes later this month ;) Also… shocker… we fixed some bugs! Talk soon. PS: rate us five stars if you remember the first words of the Power Rangers theme song
