Common questions
How do I set up my commute? Tap "Set up my commute" on the first screen, or go to Settings → Commutes. Pick your two stations, the days you ride, and when your return trip starts. You can save more than one commute and give each a color.
Why does it say "Scheduled" instead of live? When live predictions aren't available, the app shows Caltrain's timetable so you always see a train. Pull down to refresh.
What does "Live times are maxed out" mean? Live data comes from 511.org, which limits how often one key can ask for updates. Everyone shares the app's built-in key. You can get your own free key at 511.org/open-data/token and paste it in Settings → Live data key.
How current is the map on the Trains tab? Trains move along the timetable between refreshes, using the delay from the last update. Pull down to get the latest.
Can I see what my commute looks like on another day? Yes. Tap the calendar button on the Commute tab and pick a day.
Does the app track my location? No. See the privacy policy.
