Ratings and reviews

It's good sometimes but personally I have trouble getting live tracker to view and be helpful. Needs to be simplified and use friendly. I have my favorites saved they should just automatically be there but I have to try and find them every time and can't, it's tricky. I think Google maps is interfering trying to butt it's way in and be bossy like they always do getting in everyone's business. To that I say; "I am not interested go away and Google your Microsoft things elsewhere ew..."

When using the Real-Time Map, tapping to remove the rectangle boxes with the bus numbers from obscuring the view, usually activates the map to create yet another box about details of the area of the map that you tapped to remove the bus number box. This is very annoying. Maybe provide a toggle to display or nor display the bus numbers. Since the user has already selected the bus or busses to map, the already know what numbers they are on the map.

Will not update with or without email address or phone number. No setting to find available pre purchased passes. I ended up purchasing several day pases without any indication
