I know why they did this
The only way the implementation of this app makes sense is if they were trying to intentionally decrease the rider population and make people so frustrated they give up using the bus system, probably because they are too cheap to pay their drivers a livable wage and can’t get past the national labor shortage as a result of nobody wanting to treat their workers like humansShow lessBaylllll
fix your app
How is it that a public transportation app designed for a college town, a town with a large and talented student population, can't hire enough students or alumni to produce a functional app? The amount of times I have missed buses because the app freezes, doesn't refresh routes, or randomly stops tracking buses is ridiculous. Hire one, just one, competent computer science major from this school, a Top 5 public university that has invested millions of dollars into CompSci programs, and fix this app.Show lessitsmaureen
Terrible
Worst app ever. Difficult to navigate, there’s no way to see all the routes together in real time, it doesn’t work well off of wifi, etc. The old app was way better. This is poorly designed and does not keep in mind the user population that it’s supposed to be catering to. I wish we could have the old app back.Show lessJellybeangirl5711
where in the world is all the funding going
shortage of staff with a monstrosity of an app that doesn’t do crap. my cat could predict the bus times, routes, and schedules better than this. instead of buying new buses they need to give a pay raise initiative to actually get people to want to drive buses. with all the crackheads on the bus they deserve to be payed more and this app doesn’t make it any better for everyone else. Tips for anyone reading this review: if you count to 10 while spinning around before leaving to where you’re going point to any direction and start walking and you’ll get there better than with any sort of guidance this app can give.Show less@tacowaspam
The Worst
INFURIATING to use. Slow. Horrible horrible horrible interface. Looks like a website that barely translates into an app in the worst way possible, and we are expected to rely on this app alone to get from place to place. Makes you miss buses constantly because it just looks so terrible and works so horribly. Seeing multiple routes is a pain to select and reselect and deselect every time. This app screams nepotism to me. Which RTS exec's 12 year old son coded his first app and what
buffoon decided to force all of Gainesville to use it.Show lessTruthlikeiknowit
If the old RTS app still works for you, use that instead!
Unfortunately I had to get this app because the old RTS app stopped tracking the 122 even though it still runs. But seriously this app is horrid. While this one tracks 1 out of 2 of the buses on the 122 line, you can’t actually use the app to get any information on the schedule. If by some miracle you accidentally get it to pull up a schedule for the route, the times listed are typically off by about 20 minutes. You also already have to have the bus route memorized in order to maybe use this app, seeing as you can only click on one line at a time and it then will only show you one bus about 3 minutes out so there’s no way to plan ahead. I live about 2 miles away from campus and have opted to walk to and from class rather than use this monstrosity for the past 2 weeks.Show lessLaur54187
I take everything bad I said about Transloc back
Although Rider was the ideal app and transloc was definitely a downgrade, they somehow made the follow-up even worse. The user interface is just /bad/. It looks like it was designed by a freshman. Nothing is aligned properly, the buttons are awkward and clunky, and the map view, which is what everyone wants to see, is initially hidden from view. It doesn't seem like a lot of thought went into this app, but since Transloc doesn't work anymore students have no choice but to use this.Show lessseniorbusrider
TransLoc is better
TransLoc is better in every way except that you couldn’t see the schedules inside the app and this app shows the construction routes. Besides that TransLoc just worked better, this app is clunky and non responsive and the bus tracking isn’t even more accurate.WillWin2018
Unreliable
I miss the Rider app. It was ideal, you could have a live map with all the routes intuitively and be able to tap a stop to see the ETA of all applicable routes. They discontinued it, brought in Transloc (bad interface) with no updated routes(horrible) and now we have this even worse app. RIP Rider, but Transloc is better than this. It’s been out for 4 weeks, I have a newer phone and Verizon cellular yet this app says ‘technical difficulties’ 4/5 times I’ve tried to use itShow lessGator Student
Just Bad
TransLoc was a MUCH better app than this (which isn’t even an app, just a clone of their equally bad website). The user interface is atrocious - why should I need to know the name of a route before looking it up? You should be able to discover routes just by looking at the map.
On the surface, it just seems like little thought went into how people actually want to use the app. The only thing than TransLoc was missing were the detour routes. This “app” adds the detour routes, but falters in every other aspect. Maybe the future is brighter, but based on what’s currently here it looks like as little effort as possible was put into this so I don’t expect much.Show lessCupidBot
