Ratings and reviews

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. 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 also .. if a bus is CANCELLED then it cannot be DEPARTED

Since the big update the GPS rarely works. How a bus can go from being 1 minute away to just vanishing is beyond me. And that's if the GPS actually shows. Every morning for the last 2 weeks, no GPS. When it's cloudy out, I can understand. When it's nothing but blue skies as clear as can, what's the excuse for that? All this app is used for now is to see the scheduled times. No clue if the bus is on time, early, late or just not there. EDIT: Doesn't work at all now for one of my routes.

updated database locked up app and now makes it non functional. I can reset but then all my saved routes and stops will be lost. Useful when it works but clunky interface with the aforementioned issue

What’s new

The trip planner has been fixed to correctly find locations entered. In addition, electric buses will be denoted in green.
