Bus Transit Smartphone Applications: For help with public transit, we recommend these apps for iPhone/Android mobile devices: Moovit, which maps the most direct and quickest route via all available transportation methods, shows the location of the stops and directions to them, and next arrival times in real-time for trains and buses; Transit, which finds your location via GPS and tells you what bus stops and rail stations are closest to you and the next arrival times in real-time for trains and buses. Click on the links below to download either of these apps.
