Features & Capabilities

BOS Next Bus shows real-time arrival predictions for the MBTA — local buses, the subway (Red, Orange, Blue and Green Lines), and the Silver Line.

Find nearby stops on the map, tap one for the next arrivals, and save your regular stops as favorites. Service alerts keep you posted on detours and delays.

Rebuilt from the ground up for the latest iOS, BOS Next Bus now includes a companion Apple Watch app and watch-face complication.

User Reviews

Some users praise BOS Next Bus for accurate arrivals and easy stop navigation, making it a handy daily MBTA tool. However, multiple reviews report persistent issues: the app often shows 'no nearby buses,' crashes or instability, and arrival times that can be unreliable. Overall sentiment is mixed—useful when working, but reliability problems erode trust.
Pros
  • Very accurate MBTA bus arrival times when the app is functioning
  • Easy to find bus stops and view next bus predictions
  • Useful for daily commuting and frequent MBTA users
Cons
  • Frequent 'no nearby buses' readings even for active routes
  • Crashes and stability issues (crashes on open, when selecting stops, or dropping pins)
  • Inaccurate or inconsistent arrival times across stops

Always says “no nearby buses”.

This app was decent at first. It worked for like a month and then one day I was leaving my college building to see what time my bus would be arriving and instead of the usual display of the buses and their arriving times, there was a display of “no nearby buses.” Quite annoying. I thought maybe it was my service, but it was simply just the app tweaking. I had to stand around outside for over twenty minutes, waiting, because I was nervous that I’d miss the upcoming buses. Hoping that the problem gets fixed before I delete the app.
