- Worth noticing
- It distinguishes BART’s arrival predictions from train locations and says its map plots trains along the track using the agency’s real-time feed.
Field notes
The homepage describes two network views: a street map with the rider’s location and a Bay relief map showing trains across the system. A leave alert combines travel time, station-gate time and a user-selected buffer, then adjusts for reported delays while the app is open; Android travel times are described as on-device estimates, while iPhone uses Apple Maps. The page also says the app can follow a boarded train and alert roughly two minutes before a chosen stop.
