OnTrain: LIRR & Metro-North

OnTrain makes train station pickups effortless by pushing real-time Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), Metro-North (MNR), and NJ Transit (NJT) trip data directly to both the rider and the driver's iPhone lock screens and other devices.

Whether you're coordinating a pickup with a partner or tracking your own commute, OnTrain puts live train arrivals where you actually need them.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Both rider and driver download OnTrain and pair their devices (No partner? Select "Solo mode" in Settings)
2. The rider selects their train and taps "Notify Partner"
3. The driver instantly receives live arrival updates on their lock screen, Dynamic Island, Apple Watch, and CarPlay — no need to open the app

FEATURES • Real-time LIRR and Metro-North train arrivals powered by live MTA data • iOS Live Activities and Dynamic Island support • Apple Watch and CarPlay integration • Live delay tracking with estimated arrival times • Track number notifications • Trip details with stop-by-stop route and transfer connections • Service status alerts for every LIRR and Metro-North branch • Solo Mode for single-commuter tracking • Nearest-station lookup via location • No account, no sign-up, no ads

DESIGNED FOR PICKUPS Stop wasting time with complicated transit apps that aren't designed for pickups. OnTrain facilitates coordination between train riders and their family, friends, or spouses, making the entire pickup process seamless.

Built by a real commuting couple from Long Island who got tired of texting and looking up train arrivals.
