MBTA Rail • Commuter Rail

Track MBTA Commuter Rail trains in real time. Built by a daily rider, MBTA Rail goes beyond the official feeds with crowd-sourced updates from the passengers actually on board. This is an independent app and is not affiliated with the MBTA, Keolis, or MassDOT.

Features:

- Crowd-sourced reports. The predictions say on-time, but you're sitting still outside Back Bay. Other riders know what's actually happening. Share and react to live updates about delays, crowding, equipment issues, and conditions on board.

- Live train tracking. Current stop, next stop, GPS position, predicted arrivals, and speed.

- Boarding tracks. Track numbers as soon as they're posted, plus typical tracks based on history.

- Departures board. What's leaving next from South Station, North Station, or Back Bay.

- Favorites and push notifications. Save your trips and get notified about delays, track changes, and rider reports.

- Coach history. Look up individual coach numbers to see typical tracks, on-time performance, and crowding history.

- Interactive system map. Watch every train moving across the network in real time.

- Schedules and service alerts. Full schedules, on-time stats, and MBTA alerts for delays, cancellations, and track changes.

- Dark mode. Looks great day or night.

- CapeFLYER and Gillette Stadium. Supports special event service.

About the data:

MBTA Rail sources data directly from the MBTA's real-time feeds, powered by PTIS equipment installed on trains. We don't generate predictions; we present the MBTA's data provided by MassDOT.
