Ratings and reviews

The trip planner doesn't work correctly and there is no way to give feedback in-app, you have to go to external source Also, the app just doesn't work sometimes. Sometimes it won't pull up the route schedule, sometimes the trip planner tells you that there are no buses to the chosen destination even though there are eg Sunland Park Mall from the WTC.

Worst app ever. Every other day it's experiencing technical difficulties. You can can call their number and ask for departure and pick up times but that all depends on how much attitude you're willing to take from a person.

This app is much easier to look up the bus stops and the times, being that it lists each stop for each bus, than the newer app where you can't do that and it just gives you the times for the time points which doesn't help much
