Parking reservations are a little broken

I'm using iOS

1. Start a multi-day parking reservation
2. Pick a station and pick dates
3. Switch apps to check your calendar to make sure the dates are right
4. Switch back. All your progress has been cleared!

I really like it!

Precise schedule, easy to pay for parking, don’t need to use parking machines at stations and waste time on putting in all data

Fav

The apps need to have better view of 2-3 stations in one page. I choose few stations as favorite but the next day it is back to only one station on my list. It did not save my option.

Worst public transit service

Delays delays delays. Gross disgusting stations, escalators offline everywhere. All this and it is super expensive to ride this garbage system. Fares always going up, but what are the costs associated with 20 year old trains and tracks tha have not been upgraded in decades
