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.

This app has been super glitchy since Samsung updated to UI 5.1. It refuses to open if I try to open it when another app is open or in the background. I've had several embarrassing moments recently where I held up others trying to board the bus in the cold while I'm trying to get this to function. The ability to close the app just by hitting the back button seems to have disappeared as well. I have to either hit the home button or close all my apps to get it to go away when I'm done.

I called PRT and they stated this app isn't official despite it using their name, branding, and contact info. Fairly useless app like the rest of the agency. A lot of information and schedules are inaccurate or just never updated. Live tracking option links you to the "Transit" app. Transit is a god awful app where you guessing is pretty much as good as using the app. PRT is a print example why driving should be a right and more a privilege. You guys suck to such an extent it's almost impressive
