Mobileware has released an updated version of its OnTime app that is now available for Android devices. It includes enhancements such as better real-time transit information, track number prediction, end-to-end ride service as well as other features that aim to make commuting easier and more enjoyable. It is available for free on Google Play and on the App Store.

For rail, the solution uses crowdsourced commuter data which is aggregated and shared to provide information on real-time delay estimates and train speeds. It is made available to commuters once they check in to their trains.

The track prediction feature enables users to secure their preferred train seats without having to wait or rush. In addition, the app’s integration with ride-hailing company Lyft allows commuters to arrange end-to-end transportation to get to and from the station.

Extra features include a tool for reporting and recovering lost items and a crowdsourced music playlist which allows passengers to discover new music. Daily inspirational quotes riddles are also featured as part of the app's brain workout programme.
