12 pésimo servicio

El 12 ve que viene la gente corriendo y ve que va llegando y se va pésimo servicio es siempre una mujer

9.5

Great convenient app I give it a 9.5 my only issue is that once you confirm your fare it’s gone it should see that it wasn’t used and the fee ones should go back automatically because a few times I confirmed a fare and it was an out of service bus and the next bus came after the time allotment

Frustrating

When it works, it’s great to be able to scan the QR code on my phone for my fare. The main problem comes when trying to add funds. If you need to add a debit or credit card to your account to fund your Navigator account, without fail you get an error message stating your card information isn’t correct and it won’t let you upload the card. You have to actually call and give your card details over the phone to a customer service rep (not ideal if you’re in public). If it’s a weekend, you better hope you have change between your couch cushions, because the sales department doesn’t work weekends.

Terrible

Your app dosent work at all

Never accurate

This app is very so accurate. People rely on this to get to and from work. I’ve been waiting over 20 minutes for the 182 that was supposed to be here 7 mins ago

i love da bus

and da bus loves me

never works

this app barley ever works for me and will just keep my money hostage while i have to pay the full fare price over & over please fix you app, many people NEED it. it’s 10 pm i need to get home from works. smh

Irregular service

Cannot login or pay for passes

Zero degree of accuracy

The app will only cause you to miss the bus.

One Star is FAR Too Many

I’m unsure if I got on a bus that arrived 9 minutes late or the bus that 5 minutes early. And that’s usually how it goes. The app is disgustingly and constantly inaccurate, including busses like the one just mentioned, it’s impossible to plan your own schedule based on the information provided in this app.
Honestly, one star is FAR too many for the consistent delays in service, the inaccuracy of the app, the disregard of your drivers, your clear inability to tell time or share any usable information with your “customers” (we don’t have a choice- that’s why you have customers.)

Fix the app

I put the right card information in 5 times and it says it’s incorrect

Wonderful service

Wonderful drivers. I respect and appreciate the job they do. Riders can be rude and difficult at times, they do the best the can to make everyone’s ride as safe and enjoyable as possible

Difficult to find information about rental of automobile

Confused about how to find how to rent a vehicle

This app is terrible

It wouldn’t let me log in after I changed my password. It has way too many bugs and glitches. I don’t think the CDTA gives a flying f about it and it was just thrown together as an afterthought. There are a lot of things the CDTA needs to better and yes, I understand they’re underfunded, so maybe the Capital Region’s governing bodies and their budgeting priorities are to blame. Who knows. I just want to use the FLEX bus to get from Guilderland to Crossgates. That’s all.

The bus tracking is not always accurate!

Sometimes the app is very unreliable. It will portray a bus as coming that doesn’t come or when that is coming, not coming for a half an hour, and then when you decide to start moving away, the bus miraculously arrives. Sometimes the drivers either turn off the GPS or something. I don’t understand it. And something happens with buses from Troy for some reason they don’t tend to come as quickly as buses from any other area. Not sure what’s going on there and CDTA says they can’t track what happens in Troy, which is absurd.

use it it works well

this app is wonderful. go CDTA

The app

The app has been getting better and better and is very user friendly. It has been pretty accurate. Cdta is one of the best transportation in the country

Smoking

There should be a no smoking sign in the bus stops

Reroute disaster

If a bus is being rerouted it would be nice if the app told us that for the stop we’re waiting at. The road was blocked and the app never notified the stops affected by this. Causing people to be delayed or miss the bus all together
