Ratings and reviews

It would be nice of you could update the app to let us know when you've closed bus stops. I live on a road where they frequently get closed due to road closures around me, and I don't always have the time to change a 5 minute bus journey to Wokingham into a half an hour long walk because this app didn't tell me, so I had to find out when reaching the bus stop, at which I don't have the time to walk to my destination. Do better. It's not hard to change these updates for us to see in advance.

The app makes all the difference to the bus experience. You can see where the bus is on the road map which allows you to manage your time as to when to leave to catch it. This works particularly well if the bus is going to be later than expected due to unforseen circumstances. It also means your not standing out for longer than necessary when the weather is inclement. The bus drivers have all been very welcoming when we get on. A truly great service thank you.

Excellent app, all the features in one and very easy to use. Although punctuality is a small issue with buses, they are rarely late, and drivers take care to arrive at the destination on time. Though I cannot dig the app for it, awesome prices and very useful app to get around.
