I really hate how bart transitioned parking to this app. Now it's required to download ANOTHER app just to pay for parking. Then you need another app to pay for bart. It's so easy to forget to pay for parking now. With EZ-rider I could do everything with one clipper card(app). And after getting a citation, they make you pay through a shady looking website that looks like a fifth grader designed it. On top of that, they charge you a "convenience" fee.

Can't select the menu options at the top because it interferes with the my phones clock and battery information area. I can't believe how much we pay for bart and they don't have it together. I had to downgrade to 2.1.3 apk file to beable to use the app again. Make sure you disable auto update for this app until they can get things together. Maybe it's time to privatize.

I DON'T like your recent update to your app or website!! Most of the added features are extra and a little unnecessary. I'd just like a quick and accurate way to see when and where my train is coming not to gps specific addresses and locations or look at a map to find stations. Leave that type of stuff to Google, their a lot better at it!!

We have now added a simple station to station search with a drop down of stations to select. Real time departures is prominently featured in the app in multiple places. If you want to enter a starting address or arrival destination, you can make the Trip Planner results "BART only" using the options tool and turning off the other transit options.
