Best MBTA bus app for seeing busses on a map!

I love this app, and I use it almost every day. Almost. I think that this app doesn’t do as good a job as others when it comes to showing me a handful of routes that I want to see. For example, other apps show me arrival times for my favorite stops in one view. This app makes me tap and wait for each stop that I’ve added to My Stops. For that reason I don’t use this app for arrival predictions.

However - this app is absolutely superior to all others for showing busses on a map! I couldn’t live without seeing how far away in **distance** is the next bus from me, because that often helps me figure out which route to take, which stop to walk to, if there’s bunching, etc. (For me, just getting the number of minutes until the next bus comes along to one stop isn’t the "Big Picture". By seeing on a map where the busses are relative to my location and relative to the stops I can make far better decisions on my commute than without the mapping.)

If you’re someone who doesn’t need the great map view of the route & vehicles then this app is good but not great. If you’re like me and seeing everything on a map is helpful, then this app is the best!!!
