I appreciate that the app shows the busses stopping where you are. But the app presents info like real time bus arrival and departure info. It isn't. It will show your bus coming and that it has gone, passengers are standing there confused, never saw it. It would be nice if 10 trip cards received from commuter programs could be loaded onto the app. The 10 trip cards stop working around ride 5 or 6, not all drivers let you board.

Very helpful for fast payment and not having to worry about cash or going to the transit center to get a pass. Also helpful for telling where a bus is or when the next bus is scheduled, though the "real-time tracking" is usually still a fair bit off. But overall helpful, especially when the transit system is a bit less reliable than I would like.

I've been using the Google Pay option to pay for my bus tickets for months with no problem. Then this morning I went to pay that way again for a one way pass and instead of $2.20 it kept saying $220.00. I tried re-doing it several times. I even updated the app this morning and tried again and it said $220.00. I don't know if the Google Pay is glitching and adding in extra zeros and it meant $2.20 or what but I don't want to chance it. That should be fixed asap. I even took a photo of it.
