onTime : NJT, Light Rail, Bus Reviews

by DJ Williams III

Departure time from origin station is correct 60% of the time. Why? Operators run early or late (usually within a 5min window). That would be tolerable if not for the inconsistency. Pick one: early or late.

The most egregious issue I have is with “weekend service changes!” WHY does onTime NEVER update or adjust for “track work” timetable changes? One FOUR occasions; over the past few months, I was over a hour late because there is NO announcement on the schedule main screen. No pop up or warning indicator? Why must I DID every Saturday/Sunday to see if there are changes. Why can’t we get automated announcements on Thursdays & Fridays informing us of weekends work?

NJ Transit buses are not much better but there I hove OPTIONS

Now onTime is as bad as the one on my phone. On my iPad in the store it looks like the examples in the iTunes Store but when I open it, it’s not the same anymore after I updated my software. It’s a different version and no longer has the updated time for each stop

App was great but has consistently gotten worse. Ads that block entire screen and now what seems to be a mandatory new feature that won’t let you see schedule unless it installs and keeps track of you. Another invasion of privacy.

Ad placement can transfer you to their scammy website when you're trying to adjust times/dates for the planner function. It's a great app and had all the things I needed, the updates have made it buggy, and sadly not as user friendly

The update has produced really ugly graphics and you have to find the schedule again every time you return

Several weeks ago there was no Dinky and no replacement bus. Those of us waiting had to take Lyft or Uber and missed one or two trains. Having an on-line schedule doesn’t compensate for poor NJ Transit service!

I’ve tried emailing your support but the message failed. How does one work the new Siri feature?

BTW this is my goto app for train schedules!

Good supplement to NJT app. Like that you can follow a train that has left, based on the start time. Wish it updated problems and delays better

onTime has made calculating my commute much easier. Thank you.

Fast easy way to check the schedule of your train or bus.

First timer and it was an easy commute. Parked my car, got my ticket from the kiosk and waited for the train to arrive at Hamilton Station. I got in the quiet car. It was just that easy. The return trip from Penn Station NY was easy as well. The train is announced and listed in the schedule board. One thing to note, if you haven’t eaten all day, there. Is no food and beverages allowed on the train. Great ride.

Haven’t had any issues thus far. Works just the way i expected

It’s awesome seeing all the stops and how many minutes to our destination- 1st Time using the NJT and onTime made it super easy!!! Thanks

by Jjordan118

Pretty darn accurate, especially considering it has to track insanely inconsistent NJTransit. Updates trips by the minute - super helpful

onTime helped me to get in time at work, really useful and very easy to use.

by Justwannarun

Easy to use and very accurate info. Best app for NJTransit. I’ve tried others but dumped them for onTime

by ES238

I find onTime to be very helpful. My favorite feature is how it lets you know when a train is delayed or cancelled. That helps me out a great deal.

Been so busy, always rushing and train employee encouraged me to get on train, before I missed it while waiting at ticket machine. Downloaded mytix and onTime and not rushing as much anymore. So convenient!

by Mach0manramdysavage88

Loved this up until an update last week. Developer reached out to me and fixed the bug in the latest update! Back to being the best NJT app out there!! Reliable and easy to use. If you take NJT, you need onTime!

I have been using the river line light rail for a week now. I must say with all the negativity surrounding NJ Transit these days, I was very impressed. The train has been on tine, clean and a pleasant riding experience. I will definitely continue riding the river line light rail and will highly recommend it to future riders. Thanks NJ Transit.

by Missyinthebigcity

onTime WAS great. Now it doesn’t show when the train ACTUALLY will and does arrive at stops. It says the train arrived, but it didn’t. The stops should show actual departures and predicted arrivals/departures so I can estimate when I’ll really be home.

by Cio420

I initially was so happy to download an this app app but unfortunately your app is NOT ON TIME at all !!! Waited almost 2hr for a train into nyc penn last week and sat on a delayed train for almost an hour out of penn last week .. your app did not show any delays .. zip/ nada

by Opus14x

Once you enter your information it works well. I just wish there was an option to keep multiple train lines
Thanks
