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.

the real time tracker will not even load the page onto the screen for use, after spending a lot of time trying to understand why this happens I came to the conclusion that when you load the app onto the phone it is supposed to ask for permissions to be able to do things, your idiot app doesn't bother to ask for any permissions at all for some stupid reason, without permission granted it will not load the page, is there any way to fix this?

The app is easy to use. That said it's absolutely ridiculous that a ticket that I've purchased would only be available to use for 30 days! So if I plan ahead and then don't use them PAT just takes my money and no ride. And I have to buy individual tickets, can't just load up my card and then have them take the fare off the balance.
