Ratings and reviews

Update: More often than not the data here is just worse than in other free applications and often 2-3m behind the true position. Unfortunately only the closest 2-3 routes are shown for free, meaning that the bus info you need may be hidden behind the premium paywall. Yes it's hard to monetize apps, but putting basic functionality behind a paywall makes the free version worse than many other apps which can also receive their data directly from transit agencies.

This app works alright for the most part. The times it displays are a better match to the actual bus schedule compared to using Google Maps. Most of the time it tracks the bus in real time, but it occasionally doesn't work correctly. My main issue with this app is the GO bus tracking. You'll choose a bus and hit GO, and it'll start tracking it properly. However after a few minutes of proper tracking it always changes to the next bus coming after the one I'm supposed to be tracking.

The amount you have to pay for other lines (and the fact that you do AT ALL) really ticks me off. What turns me off about this app is how it hangs and crashes 85% of the time and I'm *CONSTANTLY* Force Stopping it. I hate NJ Transit's app, but at least it doesn't keep freezing 🤷‍♀️ If I have to keep clearing Cache and Data, then it's really a piss-poor app. No other app requires clearing Data and Cache multiple times.

What's new

Spring hath sprung. But while moths have returned to our closets, bugs have disappeared from our app. Also:

- Does your transit agency let you tap your credit card (or phone) to pay? How much does a single fare cost? We’ll now let you know (where data’s available)
- Our designer Béa added an easter egg when you open the app in dark mode…
- …she also added a rainbow road’s worth of prideful icons to the app!

See you next update.
