DC Metro & Bus: WMATA Realtime is a Maps & Navigation app for people travelling on the Washington, DC, Northern Virginia and Maryland transit network. It brings train predictions and bus arrivals together with tools for planning a journey and finding stops. It may suit local commuters as well as visitors who need to navigate the region’s rail and bus services.
The app provides real-time arrival information for Metrorail stations and Metrobus stops. A trip planner can map journeys using Metrorail, Metrobus and Arlington Transit (ART), while an interactive system map lets riders browse stations and rail lines. Search covers transit stops, stations and routes, and saved favourites provide quicker access to frequently used places.
Station elevator and escalator status is also available, which can help riders check for an outage before setting out. The app focuses on the DC-area network rather than offering transit coverage for many unrelated cities.
The install count shows that the app has reached a substantial number of users, but its rating is comparatively low. That is worth weighing alongside the specific transit tools you need; the rating alone does not explain what individual riders liked or disliked.
