### 1/5 — TakeETS.com

*2025-05-27, version 1.1.12219*

TakeETS.com is in the link section of this app but there is no direction given to use this feature. Wish the trip planning was actually inside the app, if it is already, I don’t see it. Also, the C of E website talks about an app that integrates On Demand service…is that supposed to be this app? I can’t attach a screenshot here but it says “If you want to plan a trip that includes a connection between On Demand
Transit and the regular transit network, the third-party Transit app will provide options.” ….but the link to the app is empty. People should know though, on demand service is unavailable in most of the city.

### 1/5 — Shameful

*2023-10-07, version 1.1.12219*

This is taxpayers money out to poor use. Who’s responsible? Ultimately the public is for not holding administration and elected officials responsible. 

I wish there was a “fire individual” button… developers, project mangers, designers, ETS management, anyone who might be proud of being involved in such a poor product. “We tried” shouldn’t be an excuse to build something so awful.

The City of Edmonton doesn’t provide a decent way to provide decent, constructive feedback (ever try 311, or the 311 app) for anything that truly affects the citizens. 

I was born in Edmonton and am ashamed I live here. Does this app represent the City? What if we thought about each civic project as a reflection of who we are? How could we give citizens pride in the place the call home? What if there was true consultation and innovation? 

“Go Flames!” might get council and admin and the developers of this junk motivated to better?

### 1/5 — So bad

*2023-06-05, version 1.1.12219*

Literally the most useless app out there. Get it together ETS or hire someone who knows what they are doing. 🙄🙄🙄

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2023-04-04, version 1.1.12219*

Yet another transit fail for the city

### 1/5 — unreliable

*2022-12-09, version 1.1.12219*

asss

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2022-08-19, version 1.1.12219*

I am not a frequent user of ETS. I downloaded the app to know how to get from my south side home to WEM. The app did not allow me to correct my current location and not give accurate information about possible bus routes. While walking along 23 ave a bus going to WEM passed by. That route was not available to me from the app. Frustrating. I’ll drive my electric car there instead.

### 1/5 — More wasted money

*2021-09-21, version 1.1.12219*

The trip planner used to work great, just type in a address or a corner and away you go, tells you which bus and route options you have, even showed you a map, done. This! Only displays half the address that is where, the other side of the city? No one knows. This has got to be the biggest waste of money yet, completely useless app, doesn’t matter if you go to the website, same thing. So city council wasted millions more dollars on changing all the routes, the bus numbers, the trip planner, so now you are left completely blind with no way to plan or figure out a trip where it used to be easy and convenient. Embarrassing. Wasting tax payer money like this should be punishable by imprisonment, maybe every time they waste money like this it should come out of city councils pay check, things would all of a sudden be done right every time at the absolute minimal cost with no constant waste of money over and over and over and over or show boating. This app, courtesy of the criminals who call themselves “leaders”. I have no idea now how to plan a trip tomorrow morning for 5:30am, it’s 9:30pm now, what the hell do I do now? Watch city council continue to pat themselves on the back, might as well take your next pay raise now, you haven’t earned it, just like the last half a decade.

### 1/5 — Good for nothing

*2021-09-18, version 1.1.12219*

Why am I not surprised that this city can’t even have an app that works. Andrew Knack must have designed this POS!

### 4/5 — It works

*2021-09-14, version 1.1.12219*

That’s all. It’s a functional and useful app

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2021-09-04, version 1.1.12219*

Unless you know exactly what you are looking for, the app is useless. Make it like your website with the “trip planner” option.
