Help with departures, stations, and Live Activities

Getting started

  1. Search for your station from the home screen.
  2. Tap the star to follow a station — it'll show up on your Home tab with its next departures, colored by line.
  3. Tap into any station for the full list of upcoming departures, tracks, and active service alerts.
  4. Tap the circle-dot icon next to a station's name to start a Live Activity for it — its departures will keep updating right on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.

Frequently asked questions

Why don't I see my station?

Try searching by the station's full name rather than an abbreviation. If it's still missing, let us know using the contact link below and we'll look into it.

How do I follow or unfollow a station?

Tap the star icon at the top of any station's departure board to follow it. To unfollow, open the station again and tap the star a second time, or remove it from your Home tab.

Are the departure times live?

Yes — status, tracks, and service alerts come straight from NJ Transit and refresh automatically every 30 seconds. The full departures screen also supports pull-to-refresh if you want an update right away.

How do I track a station from my Lock Screen?

Tap the circle-dot icon next to a station's name, on Home or on its departures screen. A Live Activity starts showing that station's upcoming departures, and keeps itself updated in the background for up to two hours. Tap the icon again to stop it early.

Does the app work without an internet connection?

You'll need a connection to load live departures, since schedule and track data comes from the transit provider in real time. Your followed stations are saved on your device, so they'll still be there next time you're online.

Is my data private?

Yes — Time & Ride doesn't collect personal information, location, or usage analytics. See the Privacy Policy for details.

I found a bug — how do I report it?

Email us with a short description and, if possible, a screenshot. Mentioning your device model and iOS version helps us track it down faster.

Still need help?

Send us a note and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
