Nouveautés de la version 5.10.1
Hey: today we’re launching something major, called Transit Royale. It’s a big change — we’re slowly rolling it out to more and more cities. It means some parts of Transit will soon require a paid subscription. Here’s why we’re doing it.
Over the past decade we’ve grown from two people hacking on Transit, to a team of 60 designers, developers, data scientists, and transit wonks. Together, we make sure your app is super reliable, super fast, and super fun to use.
We spend all day talking with transit agencies to hunt down better data sources. Fixing broken transit data. Tweaking algorithms that predict when your buses and trains will show up. Designing features to make Transit ever-so-imperceptibly better.
This all takes time, money, resources.
So how do we keep Transit going for the long haul? Here’s what we refuse to do: blast you with distracting ads, mine your personal data, sell it to the highest bidder. Making you our product, rather than our customer. We think that’s wrong.
Over the last few months we’ve been testing a different approach: having Transit supported directly by riders. With Royale, subscribers get extras like special app themes and icons, plus a custom avatar and nickname — but we’ll be honest: we’re also now asking you to pay for certain longstanding Transit features.
Our choices won’t make everyone happy, since these two features:
- looking up departure times far into the future
- browsing lines farther away
…will now require a subscription. But it lets us continue work on Transit indefinitely. Without sacrificing app quality, losing control over our product, or compromising our riders’ trust.
Moreover, an annual subscription comes to $2 a month. While that price is affordable to most of our users, we know it’s still out of reach for many who are overworked, underpaid, sweating every penny. That’s why we’re offering free subscriptions if you truly can’t afford one. You can request a free subscription when you see Royale in the app.
Most importantly: we’ve kept core Transit features free. You will always know when your next ride is coming, no matter what. You’ll get the fastest trip plans, transit schedules and directions that work offline, alerts when service is down, and the most accurate predictions.
We’re excited that now, with your support, we can keep improving Transit without compromise. We’re also working with partner agencies in dozens of cities who want to bring Royale free to all their riders. First up: Rochester’s RTS, Dayton’s RTA, Denver’s RTD, St. Louis’s Metro Transit, and Santa Monica’s Big Blue Bus. More on the way.
We hope you understand, and that you’ll support our team.
Now it’s time to get back to work!
PS: you can learn more at transitapp.com/royale
PPS: don’t yet see Royale in the app? It might take a while — we’re slowly bringing it to more and more cities. If you live in a city without Royale (but still want to subscribe and support Transit) you can go to transitapp.com/getroyale on your phone.
