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 inaccurateShow lessPDX bus app
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.Poetryworks
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!Show lessEssika-chan
Worth the learning curve
When I first opened this app I was overwhelmed by the amount of text and thought it would not be for me. Wrong! Once I got over the hump and bookmarked a few key stops, I realized this option-packed app is a bus riders’ dream. Even though I go many different places on transit, the commuter bookmarks are still handy, and the nearby stops feature is the most functional I’ve seen. I may have quibbles (like what I think red bus times should really be for), but overall this is a reliable app with lots of options to set up what works best for you with just a bit of effort at the beginning.Show lessTabihabibi
A daily use
Great app I’ve been using for years. The ease of setting up bookmarks makes commuting and getting around a breeze. This app has allowed me over the years to continue to reduce my driving.
The big map apps with transit work okay but this app is for the everyday rider.PT_in
Visiting from California
I am impressed with how Portland is coming back and your heroic bus drivers are a big factor. During the pandemic they kept buses running, we’re and are always courteous and helpful to visitors and the buses are clean and run on schedule. Thank you Truman from a visitor to your cityCarpgrandma
Thank you
This app is so useful, and has everything one may need and more. All free by a volunteer!JimboOR
A must-have app for regular Trimet riders
I’ve been using this app for over 10 years, and while there may be glitches from time to time (like there is with every other app I’ve ever used), it has been one of my most used and needed apps. For some reason I’m not aware of, Trimet has not developed their own app. For a city that relies so heavily on public transit this seems ridiculous to me so I very much appreciate that the developer has created and maintained this app for so long as a volunteer. I find the current Trimet website to be annoying to navigate except for looking up the standard schedules. Also, the majority of the low ratings on here either make no sense to me (the app is perfectly easy to navigate if you’re at all iPhone literate), or it’s clear people did not read the details about the app and want to complain about Trimet. To those people, take the time to read before you post an inaccurate review—this is a free service generated from Trimet’s online data and the app is not responsible for your complaints about Trimet. Kudos to the developer for doing this for so long and helping many Trimet riders.Show lessroxadoll
So useful
Information is super accurate, and the bookmark tool makes my life so much easier!AsteriskLiker
Has all the information, but the UI is dense
This app technically has all the information you need to plan your trip around the city using public transportation. However, when you’re outside at a bus stop or Max stop trying to figure out how to get from point a to point B sort of on time, the interface is cluttered and needlessly complicated, especially on a small phone screen.
I would like to be able to pick the starting point and a destination and get all the potential routes in a format that’s easier to read and navigate on the go. This app is a neat miss for me.Show lesslandonewts
