Ratings and reviews

Good app for tickets for 1 person except you will need to get paypal if you are not from a scandanavian country (which isnt that hard to complete in about 2 mins but annoying why visa or google pay is accepted like other scandanavian transport apps we used). Complicated if you want to buy a ticket for someone else and dont live in Scandanavia - was too hard for me to figure out!

It needs a widget for departure times for your selected stops. So many years and still don't have such simple yet usefully functionality. Instead of opening the app and getting lost in the menu it should be accessible from the home screen. I remember having a widget providing this from an unofficial developer over 10 years ago! Their priorities is obviously wrong as they keep raising prices but never improve the customer experience. The busses is always so dirty I'm close to vomiting evrytim 🤢

I've used the app in '18 and it worked fine.From '19 they changed the app,making it more difficult for ticket purchase. It has become impossible to buy a ticket unless your credit card (mine was Visa electron) has been issued in limited number of european countries.Staff weren't much helpfull. Save your time and energy and go buy the ticket in near kiosk (if you 're at the airport). I've expected more from public transportation system.
