"MTA TrainTime is a total lifesaver for my daily commute into Grand Central. The real-time GPS tracking is incredibly accurate, so I never have to guess when my train is actually arriving. Plus, being able to see which cars are less crowded helps me find a seat every single morning. It has completely removed the stress from my morning routine."

I love that I can buy my tickets instantly with Apple Pay and share my trip progress with my family so they know exactly when to meet me at the station. The interface is clean, and having the customer service chat right in the app is so convenient whenever I have a question."
