Update(5/27/23): I've been using this app since 2018, The MBTA Tweet alerts no longer show up 😔 I receive a message saying "there was a problem in handling your request. Please try again." These tweets were very helpful to know when there were delays or other issues with the bus and train. Its okay

Have used for years and found it to be the best. Intuitive and clean interface, appreciate the ability to save favorite routes and stops. Creating shortcuts on phone home screen is a huge time saver. Would love to see a "home" button, or have I missed it?
