Arrival is THE beautiful and clean BART app for commuters. With an interface that is easy and intuitive to use, you get access to real-time train predictions for the station nearest to you from the moment you launch it. This fast experience quickly gets you access to the information you need without excess tapping and visual clutter and allows you to quickly see detailed information (where to transfer, transfer windows, and train colors) for any stop.


Key Features:

* FAST
One of Arrivals best features is that it is fast. Really fast. It loads the information you need quickly and without any extra steps. This allows you to take BART throughout the San Francisco Bay Area with ease.

Arrivals trip planner allows you to plan trips to stations ahead of time. It will even provide suggestions of potential arrival and departure times.

* BART Alerts
Arrival displays BART warnings in real time to help you avoid delays.

* Station Search
Arrival has an intelligent station search algorithm that uses on-device machine learning to provide you with relevant results.

* Siri Shortcuts
Use Siri Shortcuts to automate Arrival.

* Machine Learning
Arrival uses on-device machine learning throughout the system to provide intelligent suggestions and speed up your experience.

* NO ADs
Arrival has zero ads or clutter. Its just the BART information you need.

* Private & Secure
Arrival intentionally does not collect identifiable information. It processes as much data as it can on device. Additionally, it does not sell or share information with 3rd party advertisers.


Version 2.0:
A year after its initial release, Arrival v2 is a completely rewritten and more functional BART app. It is faster, more user-friendly, and includes many updates to improve the experience.

Trip Planner
In Arrival v2 you can schedule trips by when you would like to depart or arrive. To do this set a destination station, then, tap the leave now button.

BART Alerts
By tapping the caution sign icon at the top right (near settings) you can now view BARTs system alerts.

Station Search
Arrivals station search is now smarter and shows walking and driving times to the nearest stations. (This can be turned off in settings)

Train Departure Times
You can now tap a trains departure time to switch between time until departure (10min) and estimated departure time (9:00am).

Siri Shortcuts Integration
You can now create Siri Shortcuts to automate getting train information.

MacOS Support
While we dont recommend using your Mac while walking around BART, you can now use Arrival on your Mac. This is helpful to glance at the train times before you leave.

Help Screen
Arrival now has a new help screen with tips for using Arrival as well as information about its development roadmap.

Settings Screen
The settings screen has been redesigned to make it more organized.

Machine Learning
Arrivals machine learning algorithms have been completely rebuilt to harness Apples CoreML framework and on device acceleration. This means that your predictions should be more accurate and faster.

Removing Google APIs
Arrival is designed to be protective of user privacy. In version two we have removed Arrivals dependence on Firebase.
