about apple products
Apple products are geared to make everything easier for a normal consumer.
Assuming a person has little interest in managing an ever-filling-up-with data phone.
Or has little interest in daily security concerns. Apple manages this by "locking down" devices in many ways.
Security concerns now are immense. Phones are vulnerable when large downloads are noticed - and especially when an app on the phone is logged into other cloud data, and that app wants to import directly from the web.
Apple likes to have you keep your large downloads (like videos, etc.) on your iCloud drive. iCloud knows what calendars are and may block subscribing to calendars hosting on the web elsewhere.
If you don't have or use iCloud, are not logged into it - your phone may respond with no activity or response at all. Can be frustrating.
This means things that seems like they should be simple to do - aren't as straightforward on a device that is seeking to block anything slightly suspicious.
Add a new empty calendar to your Calendar app. From there, open this link with a click:
or:
Calendar 2025 Plus basic.ics file
Bringing transits into a new calendar prevents overfilling your regular calendar.
When opening ics calendar files:
look in the bottom left of the screen for options to add a calendar, or
choose a calendar to import into.
If you make a mistake, you can delete any calendar and start over.
Something similar to this menu should appear.
Select "Open" or "Open in New Tab".
If you try to Download the file, it will most likely save it to your iCloud drive if you have that enabled.
It should open your Calendar app automatically.
This screen appears.
Select "Add All" at the top right corner.
The next screen that appears will let you save to an existing calendar or create a new one.
NOTE: This method will NOT work if the calendar events have been previously imported.
If your events will not import, go through your calendars and find the one that has previously added transit events and delete those events. Or delete that calendar.
If you still can't get it to import, try this:
Long-press the link until the popup menu appears and select "Copy Link"
Next, switch to the Calendar app.
On the Calendars list page, select "Add Calendar" at the bottom left.
On the Calendars list page, select "Add Calendar" at the bottom left.
Then select "Add Subscription Calendar" and paste the link you just copied into the empty "SUBSCRIPTION URL" field. Then click "Subscribe".
