Metro's reviews the MBTA app finalists

Need help navigating the MBTA?

There’s an app for that. In fact, there are dozens of third-party apps for the Boston transit system alone, all with different features and levels of user-friendliness. While commuters may be familiar with the See Say public safety app from the MBTA police, so far the transit agency has taken a back seat when it comes to endorsing a specific travel app.

But all of that is about to change: The MBTA launched a contest last July aimed at identifying a winning app that would become the agency’s official mobile tool.
