Ratings and reviews

Absolutely hate how the map constantly zooms all the way into the selected bus stop when trying to look at the map to find locations of other stops near my destination along the route. Whoever decided the map should recenter and zoom all the way into a stop every 5 seconds is beyond stupid. Braindead design choice.

with a recent data change from the source, developers discarded all favorite data without any advance warning, instead of presenting it in a form that would allow users to recreate it Unacceptable. Early on a snowy Saturday morning when it's critical to have correct arrival information, I watched a bus go by, then the next refresh updated to show the bus location by GPS as still being several stops and more than 1 minute from arrival Unacceptable COMPLETELY BROKEN

terrible. app doesnt show updated buses and times, crashes randomly and is basically useless. please do an update and fix things so it can actually be accurate and helpful for oc transpo riders in Ottawa!

What’s new

OCTranso has changed their data systems which has necessitated a change in the app. Due to this change, existing favourites could no longer be used and need to be recreated once the new app in installed. The new version includes provides better information related to bus trips that have been cancelled and added. Thanks for continuing to use BusBuddy Ottawa.
