Commuter MenuBar
Commuter MenuBar lets you check real-time public transit departures from your Mac’s menu bar, for regular commuters in supported cities.

What you get
See when your next ride leaves without opening a full transit app.
Commuter MenuBar gives you a quick way to check when your next bus, tram, metro, or train leaves while you’re at your Mac. You can open your saved departures from the menu bar instead of launching a full transit app each time you want an update.
You choose your city, stop, route, and destination, then pin the departures you use regularly. If you keep an eye on several services, you can track them together and arrange them in the order that suits your commute. That keeps the departures you care about easy to find during repeated checks throughout the day.
You get real-time information from supported transit agencies across multiple cities worldwide, so its usefulness depends on coverage where you travel. It’s an independent app, not an official service from your transport agency.
