Ratings and reviews

Horrible and unnecessarily long verification process. Overkill. And when I tried to sign in it said my account doesn't exist so I had to start all over. Totally cumbersome! When you actually DO get logged in, be prepared to enter your login info at every turn. I can even select a train station without being sent back to the login screen. Not sure wo approved this horrible app or who the crappy team behind it is, but they really botched what should be a pretty simple app.

Attempting to login after a long time not using the app and it's asking me to confirm email address, with no possible way of doing that. The bug list on this application must be vast.

I haven't had any problems with it. I buy tickets often. The only issue is there are no schedules on it.
