MBTA Widgets

See your next MBTA arrival without opening an app. MBTA Widgets puts live bus, subway and Commuter Rail times right on your Home Screen.

Free. No ads, no account, no location access.

Time-Based Widgets: One widget that changes with your day. Set your route to work for 7–10 AM and your route home for 4–7 PM, and it switches automatically. Same square on your Home Screen, right route at the right time.

Live Countdown: Start a countdown before you leave and track it on the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen the whole walk to your stop. It clears itself once your ride arrives.

Service Alerts Built In: Suspensions and delays appear right alongside your arrival times, so an empty screen never leaves you guessing whether your line is down.

All Three Modes: Bus, Subway and Commuter Rail. Commuter Rail shows both live-tracked and scheduled departures for the rest of the day, each clearly labelled.

Always Know How Fresh It Is: Every widget shows when it last updated, with a refresh button for instant new data without opening the app.

Ask Siri for your next arrival (Shortcuts). Save your regular stops as favourites. Up to three widgets, in small and medium sizes.
