my general experience with this app is: check to see when the next bus is, says there's no bus for like 40 minutes, check Google maps trip planner, see the next bus is actually in 5 minutes. Its just not accurate. more often than not it's missing 2-3 busses which Google shows just fine, so I don't buy their excuse that stm busses don't have the GPS or it's stm failing to provide the info. it's the app specifically.

Hi Danny, sorry about that. The app shows the planned schedule or, when available, the real-time next departures as published by the STM. Which route number are you using? Please send more info at mtransit.apps@gmail.com so the issue can be identified and addressed. Thanks

The bus "real time" locations are worse then useless since they can mislead you and they're not remotely accurate. On days the bus never even comes the app will show a phantom bus drive right by (hey, maybe it's the Night Bus?!). Also the times change willy-nilly depending on which direction you're moving, even if it's only a block and you're not particularly close to another bus stop. The only useful feature is having the bus schedules and stop locations in one easy spot.

Hi Lauren, sorry about that. The MonTransit app does not show the bus real-time location, only the real-time schedule (based on the vehicle GPS position) as provided by the STM. Contact mtransit.apps@gmail.com for more information. Thanks

That app is always too late or just too early. Sometimes I let it open so I know when to go out, it says the next bus pass in 20 minutes, and then 2 minutes later it says there's one coming right now so I don't even have time to go out. Also it happened more than two times that I was waiting for a bus and it just never came ( keep in mind I'm 17 and live in a bad area and finish work at 23) so it's pretty dangerous also.

Hi Aiden, sorry about that. The app shows the planned schedule or, when available, the real-time schedule as provided by the STM. Unfortunately, not all STM buses have real-time and their predictions mechanism is not always accurate. Contact mtransit.apps@gmail.com for more information. Thanks
