App doesn't work

When clicking "buy now" it keeps bouncing me back to the home page. Kind of frustrating when you're from out of town and just trying to get around. There is another app I found that I could use! It's called Token Transit and it can be used with lots of different cities / transit systems.

I can’t buy a ticket

Every time I try to buy a ticket on the app, it ask me to select a fare but when I click dart (the only option by the way) it takes me back to the front page please fix

First time was great now glitched

It was convenient when I didn’t have cash and could buy a ticket asap! But the app stopped working on my phone even after uninstalling and removing my card just to repeat the process but no success in buying a 2nd ticket. Very disappointed in this app and hope it gets fixed soon!!!

Do not install this app until it’s fixed

This app worked perfectly fine, and was really useful. But In their recent update I can’t purchase tickets at all. It sends me straight to the ticket management screen.
