  • Beyond incredible

    Every good thing you can think of this app does. If it doesn’t, it will be in the next release.
  • Been a fan for years

    There are paid public transportation apps that are worse than this free one. Simply amazing.
  • Frequent bus user

    As TriMet is my only mode of transportation I have 2 use this app everyday. It works fantastic I’ve never had a problem with it. It always updates quick with location data & reroutes.

    The only thing I wish was different was that the maps & schedules were in the app & it didn’t have 2 take U 2 the website 2 access them.

  • I would pay for this app!

    This is my first review on the iTunes Store and all I can say is WOW! This app is awesome!

    I save my trips and can easily update the schedule to accommodate time changes to/from.

    Great app! Thank you!!
  • Great features but...

    I love PDX bus. I've been using it for almost 5 years, it's amazing! Although I like these, it is lacking just one or two features I want. Although it includes the trip ID (or block), it does not include vehicle numbers, which would seem like a easy feature to implement, would help me out so much!! I like seeing what vehicle type I ride, because they all are slightly different)

    I hope that your able to implement it (because the current way to access vehicle numbers are very hard to find), but again, very easy to implement. Thanks!

    Developer Response

    I added this feature in version 11.0, released last week! :-) the app now uses the new data feed from TriMet which has this data.
  • Times not accurate

    Used this app for the first time after a high recommendation from my son who uses it daily. While the route is correct, the bus left four minutes early, as I was a block away. I went to check the app again and it said the bus was arriving in four minutes. Now standing in the cold for 20 minutes on Sandy. I’d be less upset if there had been a notification saying that the bus schedule was the source of the arrival times, not live tracking as I’d assumed.

    The app uses the same data as TriMet provides - all the apps are using the same data. Sorry you had a problem here.
  • Looks clunky. Functions elegantly.

    The animations, and graphics, and overall appearance is dated but the app does everything (and more) you would want functionally!
  • Great App with Hidden Features

    I use this app multiple times each day during the work week. I really liked the flashing light to alert bus drivers during the winter time but it seemed to have disappeared. I read some reviews today and the latest app description and realized that it wasn't gone but just "hidden" in the optional settings that I never thought to review! I also found the ability to bookmark my stops which is very handy since I previously had a note on my phone with all my favorite stop ID's. I really do find the app to be helpful and pretty accurate.

  • Excellent

    We bike most places but when the weather is foul we use TriMet. I'm thankful for many features in this app, especially the ability to set an alert when your bus is getting close and to set a color for a bus so you can track it in the app once you're on board. Both features calm down my kids (and me) so the "is it almost here" and "are we there yet" questions are easier to answer.

  • Great, useful app!

    It's accurate, fairly easy to learn, and lets you bookmark your "favorite" stops for quick access to arrival times.
