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

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

This app is pretty useful. Back in the day, we only had the paper schedules you could get inside buses or metro stations. This is a very good update to that. The text feature implemented a while ago is also useful. With this, google maps and the text feature, you will be on time 99% of the time.
