Never miss your train again. Take Metro provides real-time arrival data for DC Metro (WMATA), NYC Subway (MTA), Chicago CTA, LA Metro, and SF BART—helping millions of daily transit riders plan their journeys with confidence.
Beyond live train times, we help you discover restaurants, deals, and experiences within walking distance of every station. Our mission is to make urban exploration seamless by combining real-time transit data with hyperlocal business discovery.

Take Metro integrates real-time arrival data directly from official transit agencies (WMATA, MTA, CTA, LA Metro, and BART), giving you accurate, up-to-the-minute information so you can plan your journey with confidence and never miss a connection.
But we're more than just a transit tracker. Once you know when your train is coming, we help you discover what's around you. Whether you're a daily commuter looking for lunch options, a tourist planning your itinerary, or a local seeking weekend adventures, we aggregate and curate information about restaurants, shops, attractions, events, and services located near every metro station.
We also facilitate meaningful connections between transit riders and local businesses through exclusive deals, curated walking tours, and community-driven recommendations. Every feature is designed with the transit rider's journey in mind—from checking live times to arrival to exploration.
