  • Worthless

    This app is completely worthless. RTD is plagued with canceled routes due to driver shortages and these are known by RTD the same day. However there is no indication on this app of when a rout is delayed or canceled. The map and schedule functions on the app show canceled routs as being on time, even show the train arriving at the stations. The only thing the app is useful for is that it has a map. The timetable is meaningless because RTD never runs on time.

  • Bus is never on time

    I just recently had to start using RTD, can’t say it’s the best service. The app will say the bus is leaving at one time, but you get to the stop and the bus is always late. In fact as I write this review the bus should have left according to the app at 10:11, according to the driver not until 10:19 however we are still sitting here for some reason.
    It’s really sad since so many people depend on this service to get places on time.

  • Ambivalence

    I finally figured out how to plan a trip and save it. Nifty.

    There’s a problem for me with viewing the trip, however- once I’ve scrolled down the screen, I can’t scroll back to the top of the trip and must “go back” to resubmit as a workaround. Not sure why. (iPhone) That is going to exasperate me in no time...

  • Usually good

    Occasionally i experience phantom trains on this application. The application will show the train’s arrival time at a station, show the train approaching the station, show the train as having departed the station, and show the train as moving toward the next station. The only problem is that I am at that station and no such train has arrived. Otherwise, it is a good application.

  • Don’t Heavily Rely on it

    Plenty of times I’ve checked the app for a bus and see that it’s quicker to walk than wait for another bus. Then a bus that’s not supposed to be there for another 25 minutes pass right by me. Sometimes the buses won’t pop up and I’m guessing it’s because the bus is supposed to have already arrived. It’s 1/10 times this happens to me, just a little inconvenient sometimes.

  • Cancelled Busses

    I’ve been using RTD for years and was hoping that this app would finally give me the cancelled ride notifications that we all want and deserve but, no. No such luck. RTD will forever cancel busses without informing anyone at all. It’s literally a two second fix, but the developers of this app can’t make it happen. Instead, you can look forward to being informed that your bus is due at any moment despite the driver not showing up for work five hours ago.

  • R line frequently cancelled.

    I look to the radio wave symbol next to a train because that is supposed to represent real time. I rely on accuracy and real time to arrive at work on time. I have come to expect that one or two trains will be missed due to inaccurate info and cancellations, which are NEVER shone. This site is a best case scenario marketing platform. In going back to my polluting car because I know when it will get me to work.

  • Easy fix for 5 stars

    This app has the most infuriating shortcoming, and it’s a 30 minute developer fix. When searching light rail, you have to start with “Line” instead of the destination like “Ridgegate”. No one says “I’m going to take Line Ridgegate”.

    Literally no one.

    Change search logic to “contains” instead of “starts with”. It’s that simple. And then this app would be one of the best. I’ve brought this up to the developer inbox multiple times, it’s insane they’ve redone the UI and still haven’t fixed this one issue. If there’s a reason for this I’m missing, I’m all ears.

    Developer Response

    It took closer to an hour, but we did move our route search over to a dedicated typo-tolerant search engine which is much more flexible! Hope you enjoy it!
  • Inconsistent

    I have used this a couple times, half of the time it’s accurate, and the rest it isn’t. I’ll be waiting at a bus stop for a bus scheduled to come in 5 minutes, it never comes, I refresh the page and somehow that scheduled bus stop never existed and I’m left either waiting for thirty minutes to multiple hours more, or walking to where I need to be.
