Ratings and reviews

Still no difference. I keep encountering busses that are late, off schedule, blow past the stop, or some other screw up with the scheduling system. I've managed to make it on time where I was planning to go this month once. Just once. Also took a trip and typed airport looking to fly out of MSY and the directions brought me to the old airport. Need to differentiate between the two. One gets you where you're going the other to a parking garage. Edited: system still and almost always inconsistent,

Why does it need to turn on Wi-Fi scanning? Kind of sleazy. Also the bus service still sucks. Really shameful app, really shameful public transportation. I think New Orleans doesn't really want to fund a public transportation system, so they're deliberately killing it by making it impossible to use. Edited to add: one year later and this app seems even worse. It never recognizes the address I input, so I have to laboriously search for it on the map.

Only thing that is reliable is the ferry. The busses don't always stop at their designated stops and the routes they take will have missing stops, leading you to walk for hours to get back to your home. I'll never use this company for anything other than the ferry to get back and forth over the river. Uber is a much more reliable option for transportation around the city
