So I have been using this app since about Jan or Feb and it is so great. As a daily commuter, being able to set up my dedicated route is so convenient and is super helpful because I can quickly pull up my stations on one screen instead of searching them individually. Must have if you use the metro daily like me.

For a relatively small team of developers, this app has been especially helpful when I catch the train and bus. However, bus times were occasionally off but currently the system for busses is being overhauled.

I don't ride the trains often but I do ride the bus daily; so I use this app exclusively for the bus tracking/mapping feature. Even in beta, this feature is superb and far exceeds any other app or website I've tried. This feature and the app in general has no frills, yet everything you need. And unlike the Metro we all love, this app is hugely reliable.

perfect for a quick check for morning or evening commute. some other features are a little less friendly. better than the other apps I tried. edit: bumped to 5 stars. lead developer replied to my email very quickly, and seemed eager to understand the use cases and improve the app, even provided a link to track the suggestion in trello.

I'm a commuter through downtown DC. I have to say this app is accurate, timely, user friendly, and just a necessity for anyone riding Metrorail. Keep up the great work! The only suggestion is to add a "how long until I'm there" option :)

Amazing. I'd expect to pay for and app so packed with features. I can be an authority amongst my friends regarding Metro rail transit - real-time tracking of all trains and lines, and all the nitty-gritty details to satisfy my control freak needs. I've tried many Metro apps and this is easily the best.

About this app

MetroHero is the free DC Metrorail app you need AND the one you deserve, designed by commuters, for commuters. Unlike other popular apps like Transit and Citymapper, and even local apps like 'DC Metro and Bus' and 'DC Metro Transit', we crunch all of our own numbers, meaning that we provide lots of information that you can't find anywhere else.

MetroHero lets you see the position of every Metrorail train in real time, giving you the clearest picture of the current state of the entire DC Metro system. See dynamic estimates of exactly how long it will take you to reach your destination given current delays, track work, and even single-tracking. Harness the power of live crowdsourcing to see and report problems at stations and on individual trains. And you can forget about empty station boards and endless streams of 'DLY'— if there's a train ANYWHERE on the tracks, we'll tell you where it is.


Here are just some of the ways MetroHero will revolutionize your Metrorail commute:

* COMMUTE TRACKING: Input your morning and evening trips to and from work to see next train times, travel time estimates, elevator/escalator outages, active MetroAlerts and recent tweets—all in real time and as soon as you start the app—without having to tap anything.
* LIVE LINE MAPS: Pick a line and watch trains move through stations in either direction in real time.
* LIVE GOOGLE MAP: Watch trains travel through the entire rail system in real time.
* DETAILED STATION INFO: Tap any station to see extended arrival times for trains in both directions, plus any elevator/escalator outages, active MetroAlerts, and recent tweets.
* DETAILED TRAIN INFO: How delayed is that train? How long has it been holding at that station? How fast is it going? Tap on it to find out.
* CROWDSOURCED REPORTS: Help other MetroHero users avoid headaches (or give them a heads-up when things are going right) by tagging stations and trains.
* AUTOMATIC UPDATES: No need to swipe to refresh what you see; it's always up-to-date.
* OPTIONAL NERD STUFF: View detailed stats about the entire rail system for each line and direction—including headways, schedule adherence, and other neat metrics—in real time or as trends over time, all from your phone.
