User reviews

Ads

Just Ads. I can’t even close out of the ads after they’re done and have to force close the app.

Ads are too long

The ads are way too long, sometimes over a minute or two each. You can’t even close out of them once they’re done. You have to force quit and reopen the app to see the bus times.

The ads are infuriating

This app requires you to view multiple pop-up ads before accessing any useful information, so this is horrible in time sensitive situations (e.g., rushing to catch the bus in the morning).
