Wondering if you have time to finish drinking that coffee or reading that article? Running down the station stairs because you thought you heard a train arriving? Now you'll know!

The MBTA Realtime T app tracks Boston's MBTA subway trains in realtime, accurately predicting when each train will arrive at your station. The app shows the location of each train on the line, as well as the estimated arrival time, down to the second, at each station. This works using sensors placed on the tracks - when a passing train triggers one of these sensors, MBTA Realtime T app is the first to know.

The app supports the Red, Orange, and Blue heavy rail lines. The Green Line is not supported, as the MBTA has not installed tracking technology on the Green Line trains (there is nothing app developers can do to get around this).

    Orange line is not accurate, it might be off by one station. Outbound to forest it showed the train arriving at Chinatown as the train pulled into dtc

    From what I've heard it works great, but it DOES NOT WORK FOR THE GREEN LINE. I refunded though, so it's no big deal.

    Very accurate on the orange line. It's nice to have an estimate of how long it will take for the train I'm on to get to the station I want. :)
