About

Built out of frustration with delayed trains.

trains.fyi started when one developer got tired of juggling six transit apps on one trip. It has grown into the leading real-time train tracking service in North America, and is now expanding to every passenger rail network we can find.

Data is stitched from sixty-plus live feeds. Networks are added every month. There are no trackers, no paywalled cities, and the basics will always be free.
