Bestows transit superpowers
PDX Bus turns regular bus riders into bus whisperers. It pulls up my morning and evening commute options automatically, and I can easily see my fastest route home from anywhere. It shows alerts, delays and buses that might be no-shows, so nothing’s left to chance. I just noticed that you can refresh arrival times by shaking the phone, a real mittens season game changer, and I had to finally leave a review. It’s years overdue.Show lessednwvf
Has everything I need!
As a daily TriMet commuter, I rely heavily on this app. The features are easy to access once you learn your way around, and the data is completely reliable. Can’t believe the developer created this for free; it’s brilliant! Unfortunately I haven’t been able to use it for a few weeks, and have been trying to reach the developer for help. Just bought a new iPhone 11 thinking the problem was my old phone, but still can’t get the app to work. The TriMet website is horrible to use (they don’t even have an app for tracking/trip planner) and I can’t wait to be able to use this is a app again. The other available TriMet apps are disappointing, too - don’t bother!Show lessserious trimet rider

Unfortunately it is hard to do customer support via the review process. It seems like a connectivity issue specific to your device, as I am not aware of a wider issue. I can try to look into it if you contact me with more info. Thanks!Fast and accurate
This app always works. I use it to see when the next MAX or bus is arriving at my stop. I don’t know how it works, but it knows exactly where they are regardless of schedule.isaacszy
I use it all the time
It can take some time to figure out how to bookmark stops & trips & it can tell u to walk wrong direction to your stop!
This might be due to TriMet starting one in the wrong direction at first from an approximate gps pointdayhiker9
Doesn’t work consistently
Is there a better app or a new way for presenting tickets? 2nd time I rode the bus and the ticket hasn’t presented after I purchased. In my personal experience makes me not want to use this even though it’s worked great in the past. I participate in mass transit because it’s better for the environment. Improv your tech for ppl not profit thank youShow lesszsazsaV
Vastly Improved App
The app is much better than it used to be. I use it daily to identify where and when the nearest MAX train will arrive and whether there are any delays. The only issue I see is sometimes the app will show a train is coming or due, and no train comes. All if the busses and trains have GPS, and it seems odd that the app would not have 100% accurate location data. Having said that, this seems to happen very rarely. One feature I would like to see is the ability to set custom alerts, e.g. notify me 10 minutes before the next red line train is due to arrive at X station.Show lessBummer Toons
One of my top three apps
This, 2 Across and Wikipanion are my best reasons for having an iPhone.
PDXBus is without doubt the best transit app I have ever had the chance to use, is better than TriMet's own website, is feature rich and has had so few problems over the last five years that I wouldn't hesitate to say that this is the must have app if you live in the area.Show lessdrfu
Mostly really good
I am only writing this to report a bug, since there doesn’t seem to be any other way to do so. Lately, when trying to set an arrival alarm, I get a notification a few minutes later saying that iOS has blocked access to the app, rendering the alarm useless. I get no advice on how to change any settings to resolve this. Otherwise the app works great.Show lessZSS Enterprise

Unfortunately there is no way to solve it except to open the app up.Alerts don’t work
I use this app almost daily and it’s very helpful. The times are usually incredibly accurate. My only complaint is that if I set an alarm to alert me and move to a different app (with this one open in the background) it doesn’t alert me unless I go back into this app. That is utterly useless.Lauratiny
Smooth, clean, versatile, accurate
This great app does a really solid job of handling the nuances and details of Metro Portland’s multifaceted transit system. From GPS locations to bus-route options to Max train times — it covers it all, and keeps up with the evolution of the technology and the transit system itself. Thanks for the good work!!Show lessLeft Coasting
