Reviews of PDX Bus, MAX, Streetcar & WES

PDX Bus is sometimes so inaccurate

This morning, I was waiting for the 15 bus at Belmont and 14th. The app said that the bus was running behind with 7 minutes left to wait. I switched to the 70 bus to 12th and Morrison, which was 4 minutes away. As I walked to 12th,, I saw the 15 bus at Belmont and 12th. That is very inaccurate for the app. This has happened before.

This afternoon, at Gateway Transit Center, I put in the stop id for the departing buses. I read that the 15 bus was 12 minutes away. So I hung back and waited, Two minutes later, the 15 bus pulled up to the stop, and again, the app was inaccurate

Always been the best app for trimet routes

I’ve been using this app for years and have always really enjoyed it. It seems like a couple times a month someone asks me to help them navigate the trimet site or some other app and I always steer them directly to this. Love the ability to see recent stops and manage bookmarks.

Best bus app!

I’ve loved this app since I first downloaded it years ago. There were some problems but they fixed them. I swear I’m always discovering a new function and everything about this app is made with the user in mind. It has all kinds of functions and safely features that enhance your bus riding experience in my book. You can look at the bus you are on and the next stops to tell you when your bus will get there. You can set up favorites and look at them in advance for you next stop. You can also set even plan out a whole trip and look at all the stops you need at once, including alternate stops so you can see what bus you want to take. Might not be as simple as google maps but it actually gives you lots of options especially if you know where you’re going and how you want to get there. Plus the safety creature of the lights are super helpful once it’s dark out especially in winter! Helped me be seen and not get run over multiple times and the bus never misses me! All around the best features. Just explore it and you’ll find something that will work for you and you’ll use this app forever!
