A project by Dan Tome

DC Metro Tracker

Live metro arrivals for the DC-area Metro. My coworkers and I spent too much time waiting for trains, and the existing apps were slow, inaccurate, or littered with ads. I created DC Metro Tracker to be an ad-free experience with one goal: give Metro commuters the real-time Metro data and personalized alerts where and when they need it.

The app

What it does

Live Arrivals

Station Info

View address, directions, upcoming departures, and first and last train times.
