DaBus2 Retiring

I donโ€™t like how they are retiring the app, this is so much difficult on transit than on DaBus2 where its more easier, I honestly would just use the website hea.thebus.org if thats the case, I just wanted to know I also use Pantograph which is more easier on tracking and shows schedules way much better then transit, pretty all, I will miss DaBus2 App

App was wonderful compared to the new option recommended by this app

As this app retired, there is a splash screen rerouting to an app called transit which is a complete downgrade and I find myself using Google Maps instead. The app they changed to has most routes and all express (and rail) lines hidden behind a paywallโ€ฆ and the times that are posted arenโ€™t accurate at all

Oh so sad

Oh da bus app is leaving us so sad ๐Ÿ˜ญ farewell so much time hitting that REAL TIME ARRIVALS. and refresh button ๐Ÿ˜‚ Iโ€™ll miss you ๐Ÿค™ ๐ŸŒˆ

I love this bus app!

Iโ€™m sad that this app is being retired because it was developed in Hawaiสปi and I am disappointed to use an app developed by people on the mainland because they donโ€™t understand Hawaiสปi. I really like the way the bus blinks and the driver has a big flower.

Travel With Ease

This has been my favorite bus tracking app for the past 2 years, and Iโ€™m sad to see itโ€™s being retired. What I loved most was being able to compare the arrival times at various bus stops with ease and checking to see when my afternoon bus would arrive without having to start up a GPS. Thank you for the bus service.
