I can finally predictably get on BART

This app is free and my boss finally won’t spank me for being late in the mornings!!! What not to love here?

Must have for getting around San Francisco

I’ve been using routsy and google maps for years to get around SF. Unfortunately, Google maps times are inconsistent and Routsy’s UI leaves a lot to be desired. This combines the best of both and will be my app of choice going forward. It also shows the most recently updated locations of the trains/buses on the map, which is a great touch. Do yourself a favor and try this

Beautiful navigation app

Perhaps the best navigation app I have ever used. This blows Google maps out of the water for getting around in SF!! If you live in SF, download this app and thank me later.
