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 However, they repeatedly report unreliable real-time data and alerts, intrusive ads that remain for Pro users, outdated route coverage, occasional vehicle/status glitches, and a less friendly UX for newcomers.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Route data can be outdated or incomplete (e.g., 85 route changes, Mattapan line not covered)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

Recent reviews

The app started out really great and was super accurate but now more often than not, it just says no service for any of the lines. Not sure if this is a bug or not but the app is not even usable at this point.
