These new features complement features that are already popular with MTA app users, including seat availability tracking and in-app chat with customer service.

Making the app easier and more inviting to use, TrainTime users can log in using their Apple ID, Google account, or a text message, and purchase tickets using Apple Pay. Users can access tickets purchased in eTix using their existing account information - or create a new account using Apple ID, Google account or a text message. I cannot thank our in-house development team enough for delivering on a project that riders from New Haven to Montauk can equally benefit from.” “Everything from seat availability tracking, reliable train-tracking and in-app support are all at a riders’ fingertips. We have delivered on that ask, while also providing great features,” said Metro-North President and LIRR Interim President Catherine Rinaldi. “For years the top request from customers has been to include a mobile ticketing option within TrainTime. The app replaces MTA eTix and adds the functionality of previously separate TrainTime apps for Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) and Metro-North Railroad (Metro-North), merging ticket purchasing, trip planning and real-time train location data. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s (MTA) new one-stop app, TrainTime, is now available for all commuter rail customers in the region.
