ProximiT: MBTA Boston Transit

Subway, Bus, and Commuter Rail

Features & Capabilities

ProximiT is a real-time personal assistant for Boston MBTA riders. Get arrival times for your favorite stations as you approach them, without opening the app, so you know exactly when to hurry or take your time.

It can locate nearby stations by distance, show upcoming arrivals, and deliver service alerts about delays, construction, and elevator outages. Continued GPS use can impact battery life, and ProximiT is not affiliated with MBTA.

User Reviews

Users praise the app for its clean UI and usefulness as a transit timekeeper, especially with features like commuter rail support. However, they repeatedly report unreliable real-time data and alerts, intrusive ads that remain for Pro users, outdated route coverage, occasional vehicle/status glitches, and a less friendly UX for newcomers. Overall, it looks great and is valuable, but data reliability and ad handling need significant improvements.
Pros
  • Easy to use with a slick, attractive interface
  • Timekeeping for MBTA trains and buses; generally useful and reliable for planning
  • Helpful features like commuter rail support and crowd indicators
Cons
  • Real-time data and alerts are frequently inaccurate or delayed
  • Ads persist even for Pro users and are hard to remove; few ways to contact the developer
  • Route data can be outdated or incomplete (e.g., 85 route changes, Mattapan line not covered)
  • Occasional reliability issues: vehicles disappear or statuses are wrong
  • UX can be unintuitive for new users or difficult to navigate
