Ratings and reviews

Great app when Iam going to work

I often have a choice of several busses and this helps me to make the correct choice.

App tranferred over from my other phone and says it cannot connect to network. Tried reinstalling and still can't connect to network. Works fine for buses but wont connect for trains.
