Ratings and reviews

DO NOT buy bus passes via this app. They will defraud you, steal your money, and refuse to issue a refund. The app has a strict limit on device transfers. This sounds fine in theory. However I had to reset my device recently and was permanently locked from my account and the money I'd spent for transferring the app. It never changed devices. I've only ever used this app on the same exact phone each and every time.

massive downgrade from student id cards. logs you out periodically and doesn't save password information, which has caused issues when I try to scan into a bus only to get hit with a log in screen

I was able to use the app several times to scan for the fare. I recently reloaded, and now my QR code isn't working. I had to pay cash and PRT busses don't provide change, which is thievery. Quarters add up very quickly.
