It’s nice to see where the bus is compared to you on the map, and the map overlays make it easy to have a pocket guide of routes. Many other competitors still don’t do this. That said, the data is beginning to become out of date as MTD has changed routes and constructed new stops. I hope for an update but not holding my breath, unfortunately. ### 1/5 — Teach *2018-09-19, version 1.4.3* Outdated. Doesn’t even show stops in my city. Trash app. ### 1/5 — Terrible app terrible customer support *2018-09-07, version 1.4.3* Trip planner on app does not include the ability to schedule a time for the trip just tells you what buses happen to be around you at the time you’re using the app. Also customer support is terrible sent two emails months ago which were never answered. Also has trouble recognizing local landmarks in streets. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t include some buses *2018-08-30, version 1.4.3* Doesn’t include bus 9A at Transit Plaza!! Why not? ### 5/5 — Great App and Always Updated *2016-10-01, version 1.4.3* I love this app. It helps me navigate through all of Champaign and Urbana. The bus times are always updated so that you know if a bus is behind schedule. It also allows you to type in a place you would like to go and then gives you several options of how to get there. It knows my location so know matter where I am, it can point to me to the nearest bus stop for a route home. ### 5/5 — Although not free, good bus app on UIUC. *2015-12-05, version 1.4.3* I have been using it for a year now. 1 shows where the bus is now 2 shows the route of the bus route 3 reliable never fails (Illini bus does fail sometime) 4 location services ### 4/5 — Apple Watch support *2015-11-09, version 1.4.2* It would be super cool if app works on Apple Watch. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2015-08-27, version 1.4.2* Used this to plan bus trips to and from work. Easy to use interface and up to date info about when your next bus is coming. ### 5/5 — Update Aug 2015? *2015-07-24, version 1.4.2* Outstanding app. Easy to use, lots of useful info. Better than CUMTD's own app or info. Will you update for major route changes, new routes and new stops for Aug. 2015? ### 5/5 — Reliable *2015-03-19, version 1.4.2* Reliable app that is easy to use and is the only app you have to use. ## Frequently asked questions about CU Transit ### What does CU Transit do?
