Transit Tracker - NYC

Route schedules, maps, and real-time tracking of MTA buses in New York City.

Overview

Features & Capabilities

Transit Tracker - NYC is a comprehensive Chrome extension providing real-time tracking of MTA buses across New York City. Using publicly available MTA APIs, it offers users live vehicle locations, downloadable route schedules, and an intuitive map interface that displays next arrivals and all scheduled times at stops. The extension allows you to search by route numbers, stop IDs, or vehicle numbers to view current transit status instantly.

Beyond tracking, Transit Tracker - NYC includes customizable alerts notifying users when vehicles approach or arrive at selected stops. Additional features include close stop searches based on your location or address input, selectable light and dark themes, satellite imagery and traffic overlays, adjustable update intervals, and custom alert ringtones. Although unaffiliated with MTA, this extension empowers NYC commuters with powerful, user-friendly tools to navigate public transit effectively.
