MetroNow DC

When is my train? MetroNow DC answers in one glance — and keeps answering all the way to the platform. Arrivals come straight from WMATA's track circuits, the same hardware signals that run the railroad — not GPS guesses. MARC and VRE commuter rail are built in, every train in the region moves on a live map, and a Lock Screen countdown follows your train so you don't have to keep checking your phone. REAL-TIME ARRIVALS Boarding, arriving, and minute-by-minute countdowns for every Metrorail station. The board refreshes faster as your train gets close, and rolling numerals tick down in place. TRACK ANY TRAIN Follow any departure on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island — even scheduled trains 30+ minutes out. The countdown updates by push, so it stays live while your phone is in your pocket. LIVE SYSTEM MAP Watch every train in the system move in real time. Tap any train or station to jump straight to its board. MARC & VRE COMMUTER RAIL All 61 MARC and VRE stations: live delays and cancellations, service alerts, journey timelines, Lock Screen tracking, and dedicated live maps for both systems. SYSTEM STATUS How each line is really running — measured headways, "gaps forming" or "recovering," and callouts naming the stations where riders are actually stuck. Not just the alerts: the numbers behind them. CROWDING, BEFORE YOU BOARD The first train after a long service gap has been collecting riders the whole time. Your board says so before the doors open. JOURNEY VIEW Tap any train to see its full run on a map, with live position from track circuits. Swipe the timeline to peek at exact clock arrival times for every station. PLAN AHEAD Tomorrow's full timetable one tap away, the last trains of the day flagged, and To DC / Outbound filters for busy boards. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Your station's next trains at a glance — one tap opens the board. HONEST DATA Real-time numbers and estimates are never mixed silently: anything not confirmed by WMATA's own board is clearly marked with ~. And when a feed goes down, MetroNow says so instead of guessing. No account. No ads. Just the next train.
