● OVERVIEW
The new Boston Subway map makes it easy to travel in and around the city using the MBTA Subway, MBTA Commuter Rail, MBTA Boats, and Massport shuttle buses. Unlike old fashioned schematic style maps this product contains a geographically accurate central area showing major streets, parks and places of interest etc.

● MAP
The map is hand drawn by Visual IT and provides a unique geographically based view of Boston with many places of interest drawn directly on the background so you can easily get your bearings when traveling around the city. You can also use your inbuilt GPS to accurately locate and track yourself within the city centre and see the nearest transportation stop and distance to it. This is the only public transportation route planner with this ability.
Tap on the map for location information, use the inbuilt search feature or choose from a list of locations. Places of interest, museums, hotels, parks, restaurant, shops, hospitals, streets, etc, are also included. The route planner will automatically suggest the nearest station to any place of interest you select.

● MINUTE MAP
Another great feature is the “Minute Map” option which allows you to see the travel times from a start point to all other locations on the map. This is a unique way to view the topology of a city and gauge traveling times.

● ROUTING
The application does not require an internet connection and will always be available to display a clear and detailed view of the city transport systems, plus list and animate the optimum route for your journey. This product provides the fastest route calculations of any mobile routing application (virtually instantaneous) using actual published journey times with the ability to select the quickest route or the route with the least changes.

● LIVE INFO
When an internet connection is available, optional "Live Information" on the current state of the transport services can be viewed, allowing you to plan your journeys in advance and avoid any potential delays. Unique to this application is the ability to turn off services that are out of action and automatically calculate an alternative route.

Latest reviews of Boston Metro by Zuti app for iPhone and iPad

Really cool
This is a GREAT app! Very easy to use has lots of useful features the service advisories are a great idea Ive only been using it for a short time so I cant vouch for the sites maintenance but so far so good!
Great app!
When I was in Boston trying to look for a Commuter Rail map before I got this app I was lost. But now I know which station to transfer right when I need it.
Best app because it works offline
This is by far the best Subway app I have used because not only is it dead simple, it requires no data service or wifi (perfect for an IPod touch user like me) worth tenfold the cost!
Routing good, map only so-so
Offline routing is nice and perhaps a little better than MetrO - includes ferry routes too. I gave it 4 stars for routing not mapping... Map not very useful because it doesnt have enough street names, cant be zoomed in enough for a visitor to figure out HOW to get to the nearest T station. Its great there is a stop 1/2 mile away, but the app doesnt give enough info to get you there without google maps or similar. Nearest station feature needs improvement to allow multiple choice: perhaps I want nearest T station not ferry or bus, or perhaps I want the station which is 0.41 miles away and along my path vs the one 0.40 miles back from where I came, etc Would be very nice to provide ferry schedule or at least clickable MBTA link - I decided to go ahead to "nearest" station (ferry) and got what appears to have been the last one of the night! Arguably worth the extra $0.99 over MetrO but I hope there are some improvements before I return to Boston.
Great app easy and accurate
Great app works well and is reliable. Works offline unlike many others this makes it very useful. The best one.
