It’s MUNI’s failure! *2023-10-07, version 4.0.17* The app shows the error now as SF MUNI, the most incompetent public transportation organization in the world, is doing one of their “upgrades” and cut off a number of apps from their feed. SF MUNI is a total disgrace and everyone working there should be fired. This department ought to be rebuild from the scratch after finding people who run the same business in Japan, Germany, Switzerland or any other place where they served a couple of million inhabitants. Anyway, I received a really fast response to my initial post with an explanation why the app does not work anymore in SF - thank you Alex very much for that. I’m happy to update my review as this is a problem created by MUNI. Original app is great because you can see a number of buses at the same time instead of only one line. I was happy to learn that Alex Perez created another app that work in SF ### 1/5 — Review *2023-08-30, version 4.0.17* Prediction schedules stop working!!! ### 1/5 — What happened *2023-08-21, version 4.0.17* Why can’t I predict any JTA city buses coming nearby huh? ### 2/5 — This was so reliable when it came to tracking when the next city bus is coming *2023-08-08* For 7 years I never once had an issue with it as it served me well until now because lately it’s saying no predictions of when the next bus is coming for what ever reason despite the fact that the Jta Connextions city buses are passing by whenever I thought there wasn’t any coming at all I mean this glitch here needs to get fixed here cause something weird is going on and I have no idea as to what is causing it to say no predictions especially when I’m trying to get home from work ### 5/5 — What’s “Invalid Agency”? It’s MUNI’s failure! *2022-11-16, version 4.0.11* The app shows the error now as SF MUNI, the most incompetent public transportation organization in the world, is doing one of their “upgrades” and cut off a number of apps from their feed. SF MUNI is a total disgrace and everyone working their should be fired. This department ought to be rebuild from the scratch after finding people who run the same business in Japan, Germany, Bern or any other place where they served a couple of million inhabitants.

I’m happy to update my review as this is a problem created by MUNI. Original app is great because you can see a number of buses at the same time instead of only one line. I was happy to learn that Alex Perez created another app that work in SF **Developer response:** Hi Annoyedbycoinbase, Unfortunately, SF Muni was removed from the NextBus data feed so consequently it is no longer supported by the Busly app. However, if you download my other app, “SF Muni Buses”, it’s using a different data source and has the exact same look & feel you should be used to from the Busly app. Please don’t hesitate to reach out via the in-app Support button if you run into any other issues. Cheers, Alex ### 2/5 — Why septa not covered? *2021-07-27, version 4.0.5* Why septa not covered? ### 1/5 — Agency not listed *2019-12-12, version 4.0.2* Just paid for this app that doesn’t list the MBTA (MA) bus routes! Would be nice to know this before I downloaded and paid for this app. ### 4/5 — Nice app *2019-02-24, version 4.0.1* Nice app but it would be nice if the routes were a different colour, also would be nice if the stops could be toggled on or off for a cleaner map look. Also would be nice to be able to toggle the bus route instead of the bus number identifier. Just suggestions keep up the good work! ### 3/5 — Disappointed *2019-02-23, version 4.0.1* This app will remove my selected routes and replace with undesired routes at various times. ## Frequently asked questions about Busly (Legacy) ### What does Busly (Legacy) do?
