BoroWay Pro is available monthly or annually. A limited Founders Lifetime option may also be available at launch. Your exact local price is always shown before purchase. YOUR LANGUAGE, OFFICIAL TRANSIT NAMES Choose English, Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese or Korean when BoroWay first opens, and change it later in Settings. BoroWay translates its complete interface while keeping official bus routes, subway lines, stop and station names, street names and destinations exactly as the transit source provides them. BUILT FOR NEW YORK BoroWay is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Transit conditions can change. Always follow official signs, announcements and instructions around you. BOROWAY PULSE Pulse reports are structured, time-limited community observations—not official emergency information. BoroWay verifies that contributors are near the selected station, never publishes reporter identities or precise coordinates, and provides confirmation, flagging, automatic expiration and abuse controls. Move to a safe place and call 911 for immediate danger.

Choose your language on first launch and switch it anytime in Settings. Address suggestions are more reliable across NYC, including Queens addresses with hyphenated house numbers. Navigation now starts with one clear action and keeps the live map, spoken directions, every step and Lock Screen progress together.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
