Every trip across the GTA starts the same way: one app for the train, one for the bus, one for traffic and one for the map. We built Reroute so the answer lives in one place. Here is how it compares with the four apps it replaces, one capability at a time.

Why one app
Every GTA commuter knows this morning.
- The GO siteIs the Lakeshore East on time?
- TTC alertsLine 2 was bad yesterday. Still?
- WazeWould driving be faster today?
- Google MapsHow long is the walk at the other end?
Four apps, five minutes, and still no answer.
Reroute
Every agency, driving, walking and park and ride, ranked together on one screen, with today's delays already counted. The answer to the question you actually had: what is the fastest way in, right now.
Frequently asked questions
So what is the best transit app for Toronto?
Reroute. It is the one app that ranks every GTA transit system, driving, walking and park and ride together, with fares and live delays built in. One trip should not need four apps.
How did you check these claims?
Against each app's own listings and help pages, in September 2026. Where an app does part of something, the table says which part, and anything we could not confirm is marked unverified rather than crossed out. Spot something out of date? Tell us and we will fix it.
Why is GO Transit a column and not an app?
Because there is no official GO trip planning app. GO riders plan on gotransit.com and check the train on a separate app or site, which is exactly the juggle Reroute replaces. The column is GO's own official tools.
What about Citymapper?
Citymapper covers the TTC, GO and more, and compares cost across modes. It does not plan park and ride, and it has no TTC delay risk. Reroute ranks every mode, park and ride included, in one list.
Whatever happened to Rocketman?
Rocketman, a once popular TTC app, shut down in November 2022 and was removed from the Google Play Store, so it is no longer available to download or use.
Does Reroute have rider reports like Transit and Waze?
Rider reports are built and launching soon. Today Reroute's live data comes straight from agency GPS and realtime feeds.
Is Reroute free?
Yes. Reroute is free and runs in your browser, with no account needed.
