Ratings and reviews

This new app version is frustrating. Instead of telling me how much time until a bus arrives or until my stop in my Notifications area, it just says '버스 승차/하차 알림이 진행 중입니다.' How is that helpful?? Tell me the times and stop numbers. I also can't find where it shows me my closest bus stop, a function I used frequently. Instead I have to find it myself on a map. I miss version 4.

For my bus stops, the times are mostly very accurate. I go to a major bus stop, as well as one that has only one bus. The buses never arrive before the time indicted. They may arrive a little bit later, but that is due to unpredictable traffic. The times update as well, if there are any changes. Finding a bus stop in the map is easy. Finding it in the list of the bus route, though, is a bit confusing.
