User reviews

Very Clunky

Not very intuitive, also logs me out constantly so the auto-record feature does not work properly.

Response from developer

We're very sorry you're having trouble. We recently updated a few security items that might have caused your problem. If you can, please log out and log in one more time and hopefully this will keep you logged in. If the problem persists, please contact support by selecting More -> Contact us and we'll look into it further. Thank you.

No way to add money

How do you make it even harder to add money for a trip? This app has what seems like everything you don’t need concerning a bus pass.

Response from developer

I'm very sorry you had a bad experience. The CTrides app does not sell bus passes. We recommend using the Transit app to purchase your bus passes.

Requires account

Requiring an account just to preview anything/potential rides or routes is a bit ridiculous. I will not be making an account for no apparent reasoning when I'm not even sure if the service could benefit me (cover my travel needs)!

It acts like you might be able to on the map tab, but when you input starting and ending points it does nothing but mark those two points, with the typical pin used on apple maps or google maps. (They use apple maps, by the way.) No indication of nearby transit options.

I was hoping this app would solve the issue of all the fragmented Public transit websites of trying to figure out the route and transfers available to me to choose from for a commute that would be then dependent on this. It let me down in this regard. I hoped it was a one-stop for finding this out at least. Though that should've easily been a website...

Ui is nice, I guess, though. Or at least what little you could see without logging in, was. 🤦

Response from developer

Thanks for your review and we're sorry you had a bad experience. You can select the Find Rides tab and search for rides without creating an account. Just indicate the type of ride you're looking for, enter your origin and destination, and your options should appear below. To view transit options, just select the transit icon. An account is only required if you want to connect with other carpoolers or log your trips. If you have other questions please contact our support and we'll do our best to help.

Needs improve

Can you add SEAT CONNECT bus to short the time in New London?

Response from developer

Thanks for contacting us. Our trip planner does show SEAT CONNECT (a.k.a. HOP/NLSmartRide) as an option when you search for a ride in their service area. However, since SEAT CONNECT is demand-response they do not have a published schedule and you need to contact them to arrange a ride. This is why we link you to their website.

Rewards could use improvement

Navigating the rewards could use improvement. The most valuable award is the monthly drawing for a $50 gift card, however it’s time consuming to submit multiple entries since you can only redeem 500 pts for 1 “drawing” entry at a time and each drawing requires time to be reviewed before you redeem for another drawing again. A major improvement would be allowing users to batch redeem multiple entries at once.

Response from developer

Thanks for your review. The reason drawing entries are one-at-a-time is to make sure other members can get a chance to enter the drawing and that one member does not use all the entries at once. Having said that, your suggestion is a good one and we'll explore ways to make the entry process a bit easier. Thank you.
