T01-T03 plus 2xx routes. ### 3/5 — Northern suburbs *2014-03-10, version 1.0.4* I'd give this app 5 stars if it had train routes for the northern train lines, please advise when this update will be available ? ### 4/5 — What I've been waiting for! *2014-02-11* Good app! Just a little but unfriendly ### 3/5 — Problem with Vredehoek route *2013-11-26, version 1.0.1* I love the idea of this app but I have a problem with selecting the Vredehoek or Gardens route I can only select the Tableview route ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Changing line option *2025-08-12, version 6.2* I cant change lines in this app, Ive been trying to switch from Southern Line to Central Line but there are no options for me to choose from ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2015-06-14, version 1.2.4* Cate Town Buses and Trains app just does not work ### 1/5 — Northern suburbs not included *2014-07-28, version 1.0.5* I travel via train from the northern suburbs, and this app does not show train time for stations in the northern suburbs. So this app is not useful. ### 1/5 — Great idea, but needs work *2014-01-10, version 1.0.1* Thanks for creating this app. I can't believe Mycity doesn't have one. What's cool: it works without a sim. BUT it has limited usefulness. The most useful public transport apps I've used include the following: - route map (interactive) - calculate route for user based on current location & desired destination This app doesn't include either. You basically need to know the routes to be able to use this app. Please see CityMapper (which also displays updated bus & train ETA) and HopStop for good examples. Note: Gardens via Vredehoek doesn't seem to be active. The other routes work, though. ### 2/5 — Crashes *2015-06-16, version 1.2.4* The app constantly crashes, please fix it...it's a cool idea, just make it work ### 2/5 — Timetables not up to date *2015-01-18, version 1.0.14* This app would be great but I've missed a few buses because the times don't match up with the actual times listed at the bus stops. ### 3/5 — Not bad but UI needs work *2026-04-28, version 8.6* Useful app to have, fairly simple to use. The colours are terrible and make the app difficult to use. Maybe make it easier to report late/on time trains, so users can get an idea. ### 3/5 — Nice app! Handy *2015-01-28* Central/Khayelitsha line is missing. And why has Metrorail forbidden live updates? We should start a campaign to change that. ### 3/5 — Difficult to use *2014-09-14* Though the app is well designed, I find it to be very user unfriendly, often trying to scroll causes accidental taps. I think it is very confusing to find all travel information and will rather stick to the MyCiti website for that. ### 3/5 — Potential *2014-09-11* Great potential. If you could link the trains that are delayed/canceled it would help a lot more. UI needs improvement, the slider at the bottom when selecting stations is useless. Some words don't appear in full, they just end off... And if you link the train schedules maybe make the app send you a notification if the train is late or canceled. Just my input, good work! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super useful *2026-03-28, version 8.0* This app makes commuting so much easier. ### 5/5 — Other line options *2025-12-29, version 7.0* Great app, but when will it be updated to show the other lines, especially the northern line. Thanks ### 5/5 — Makes train a better experience *2017-09-01, version 1.3.1* Quick and easy way to check on train times, as well as to find out about delays. Really helpful. Makes catching the train a little easier. ### 5/5 — Mr *2014-08-19, version 1.0.6* Highly recommended ### 5/5 — Great! *2014-07-20, version 1.0.5* This app is great and very useful as I use the bus to work every day. Thanks designer! ### 5/5 — Top Notch App *2014-06-26, version 1.0.5* Simple. Useful. Accurate. Couldn't be better! ### 5/5 — Me *2014-06-02, version 1.0.5* Great accurate app ### 5/5 — Great app. *2014-04-01* The app is very useful, thanks for putting it together. One q, could you put in the train routes in for area north? Would be a significant help. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2013-12-04* Love this app! So functional, easy to use, and accurate. Use it all the time...well done! ### 4/5 — Great *2016-06-02, version 1.3.1* Has never let me down, much easier than downloading a PDF of train times. Have only used on southern line Metrorail --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
