United States Host Cities: East
New York/New Jersey
Download both NJ TRANSIT Mobile App and MTA Subway Time to navigate this complicated transit partnership. New Yorkers pride themselves on subway knowledge, so trust the apps rather than challenging locals on routes.
Boston
The MBTA Transit App helps you navigate America's oldest subway system. Remember to call it "the T" like locals do, even though this won't help you navigate better. The historically charming but utterly baffling system requires digital assistance.
Philadelphia
Philadelphia's transit system has strong opinions, just like its sports fans. The SEPTA App translates these into useful navigation information. The app might be kinder than asking direct Philadelphians, who will help but might judge your choices.
Atlanta
MARTA On The Go provides real-time updates on Atlanta's deceptively simple color-coded train system (Red, Gold, Blue, Green). Despite this apparent simplicity, expect to end up on the wrong line at least once during your visit.
United States Host Cities: Central & West
Dallas & Houston, TX
Download GoPass for Dallas' DART system and METRO Q Mobile Ticketing for Houston's sprawling metropolis. In Texas, everything's bigger—including the distances between venues. These apps aren't luxuries but survival equipment in cities where walking is considered suspicious behavior.
Kansas City
RideKC app helps you navigate a city that straddles two states without accidentally crossing state lines. Pro tip: the new streetcar is completely FREE to ride—a rare transit bargain that justifies downloading the app.
Los Angeles & Miami
LA requires a trinity of apps: Transit App, TAP LA, and Los Angeles Metro and Bus. For Miami, download the Brightline App and Go Miami-Dade Transit to navigate a city where being fashionably late is an art form (except for transit, which runs on strict schedules).
San Francisco & Seattle
Bay Area needs both BART Official App and Transit App. Seattle requires OneBusAway for arrivals and Transit GO Ticket for purchasing. Each city's transit system is as unique as their local culture.
Mexico Host Cities

Mexico City
Metro CDMX app is essential for navigating North America's busiest metro system
Guadalajara
SITEUR app helps you enjoy the "eternal spring" climate
Monterrey
Moovit App navigates the mountainous business-focused city
Mexico's transit systems move millions daily with impressive efficiency at bargain prices. Mexico City's metro costs only about 5 pesos ($0.25 USD), making wrong turns into affordable adventures. Guadalajara's perfect weather means more bag space for World Cup merchandise, while Monterrey's business efficiency extends to its transit system.
Mexican transit becomes an extreme sport during peak hours, but the apps help predict crowding and provide Spanish-language assistance for international visitors navigating these vibrant host cities.
Canadian Host Cities
Toronto
Download the TTC Watch app to navigate Canada's largest city. Torontonians will apologize for transit delays even when vehicles are running perfectly on time. The subway system is famously clean, which will be a refreshing contrast if you've just arrived from certain other host cities.
Vancouver
The TransLink App helps you navigate a city that balances urban convenience with wilderness proximity. Don't miss taking the SeaBus ferries across the harbor—they're essentially scenic cruises for the price of a regular transit ticket, offering Instagram-worthy views of the city skyline.
Canadian train Expeditions
It's a common summer vacation to trek across the country and if one has time and wants to catch games in Vancouver and Toronto, an option is a cross country trip, Canada VIA Rail it may not work out for the summer of soccer, but these are really beautiful trips.
Game Day Transit Strategy
Pre-Download ALL RELEVANT Apps
Download ALL city-specific apps BEFORE traveling. Set up payment methods in advance and test interfaces while relaxed, not while rushing to catch the last train BEFORE OR AFTER a match.
Check Special Event Services
Many cities run additional trains/buses specifically for World Cup matches. This information is typically available only through the official transit apps, not on regular schedules.
Screenshot Your Directions
Take screenshots of your routes as backup. If your battery dies or network coverage fails in crowded areas, these screenshots will be more valuable than your match tickets.
Add 50% Buffer Time
Use journey time estimates from apps...then add 50%. Transit apps are optimistic by nature, much like fans who believe "this is our year" every four years.
