Ratings and reviews

Ever since the last update, what was a great app is now totally messed up. It gives you multiple stops nearby for the same bus instead of just the one you're closest to. Also, when you select a certain bus the stops are no longer in order. Also, it's no longer accurate - it says the bus is 2 min away from your stop and you look and it's already blown pass. What happened? Don't try and fix what's not broken! Cannot rely on this app anymore

This app was awesome for a good while until recently. The time remaining for the bus to pass by the bus stop vary too much. From waiting too long to pass where it passes when it says 4 minutes left. Sometimes does not give the time left or shows the busses that are running. It also does not gives me all the buses/stops around where I am located, missing some all the time. I wish the last update(s) would be backed up. But it is still better to have one working sometimes than none at all.

NextBus lacks two very important features that are common in other apps: the ability to discover transit line connections though the map. Right now you must select a specific nearby stop to access the map. Two, even more important, there is no button to reverse the direction of the route you're viewing in the map view which means you must certain about your line name, stop name, and direction name of your route before being able to access any visual information. This is clunky UI.
