Uber really wants to be your one-stop transit app

While you'd think that Uber would balk at mass transit, it's really quite friendly to the concept. One of its best-known third-party app tie-ins, Transit, lets you hail a car from the same app that gives you real-time bus schedules. And now it's returning the favor: an update to Uber's Android app (iOS is coming) shows you Transit-sourced departure times within a block of your destination. If you need to catch a commuter train and are wondering whether or not you'll reach the station in time, you won't necessarily have to jump between apps. You'll still need to launch the dedicated Transit app to see a wider list of departures, but it's hard to knock the convenience.
