If only the times were correct

This being an app letting you know when the bus is coming, you would EXPECT it to be accurate. It isn’t. Which makes this app useless.

Delayed

Always delayed a minute. Not real time

This app sucks

It consistently crashes on me to the point I’ve given up using it altogether.

Ineffective

There are routes that do. It show up yet the bus arrives. Why? I’ve spent countless time adding them as my favorite yet they are hidden and so I cannot rely on this app. Waste of money.
