Ratings and reviews

it's a little busy, such as with relevant info that should all be together on the same page, split separately from each other on different pages. not very intuitive. besides that, it's very responsive and gets the job done, it's easiest of all to find your train trips, letting you select multiple possible starting points so you can weigh your options based on time.

this app constantly refuses to open on my phone and is so buggy. no other apps have an issue opening and functioning well. it's gotten to the point where I sometimes have to hold up the conductor just constantly trying to open it. seems like such a simple bug to be fixed but there is no option to update. may have to buy physical tickets from now on

Effortless! Saves time and money. One doesn't have to wait on a queue to buy a ticket or get charged extra for buying a ticket on the train. As long as you have wifi, you can put in the stations and one way or round-trip as well as discount statuses and purchase your ticket effortlessly. It also shows you the train times and track number. Since I found this app, I use it everyday I have to go to the city and back.
