Real-time NYC Subway and MTA Bus arrivals

Live countdowns from MTA's real-time GTFS feeds. Know exactly when the next train or bus is coming, not just what the schedule says. Metro-North and LIRR show scheduled departure times.

Walking time to every subway station and bus stop

Each stop shows your walk time from your current location, adjusted for your mobility profile. Plan your departure, not just your arrival.

Live Activity on your iPhone Lock Screen

Track any arrival on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Watch the countdown without unlocking your phone, which is especially useful in crowded stations.

Home screen and lock screen widgets

Small, medium, home screen, and lock screen widgets show your next subway or bus arrival without opening the app.

Nearby stops, automatically

Open Arelo in any NYC neighborhood and instantly see the closest subway stations and bus stops around you. Tap any stop for live arrivals.

Arrival alerts for your specific train

Swipe left on any arrival row to set a one-time notification for that specific vehicle approaching. Never miss your train again.

No account. No sign-up. No cloud.

Your favorites and settings stay on your iPhone only. Arelo never uploads your data to any server. CCPA/CPRA compliance is handled on your device, so you never need to submit a request.
