### 2/5 — Schedule not accurate

*2026-03-18*

The website indicates the Alderney ferry is currently on a reduced 30 minute interval schedule and the app still reports a 15 minute interval schedule

### 2/5 — Not intuitive

*2025-06-23*

The interface probably looks logical once you understand how it’s supposed to work, but looking at it completely cold it’s not. Planning trips yields weird bus routes, and whoever decided to put black text on a dark blue text box needs to go back to school.

### 2/5 — Hard to use

*2025-03-08*

Good app very informative but it’s not so user friendly. It’s complicated difficult to use.

### 2/5 — Useless

*2024-11-22*

App doesn’t allow you to add favourite routes. Colour is horrible

### 1/5 — 182

*2024-11-01*

Constant delays early in the morning.

### 1/5 — Late

*2024-10-30*

Buses are unacceptably late  express busses a joke when it takes 75 minutes for a 20 minute car ride that is why more people are driving their vehicles. I used to be able to get to work in 30 minutes with the old real express system. The terminal parking lot should be filed with cars but it’s not as the transit system is not reliable

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-08-21*

Not intuitive. Not helpful. Unusable.

### 2/5 — not showing all stops

*2024-07-12, version 3.8.0*

app has been great but recently some stops have disappeared, making it unusable for me

### 1/5 — Holiday schedule

*2024-05-20, version 3.8.0*

Today is Monday but a holiday but this app is giving me the regular Monday schedule. Useless.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-04-19, version 3.8.0*

Clunky. Hard to figure out and of no use.

### 1/5 — Bad driver

*2024-03-27, version 3.8.0*

The driver of bus 58 or transit number 1308 is so slow

### 1/5 — No transfers

*2024-02-14, version 3.8.0*

This was useless. The lack of schedules along with trip planning that includes more walking then bus riding (transfers not included)…don’t bother.

### 1/5 — Super slow

*2024-02-07, version 3.8.0*

The app is super slow and the buses are always late, the other day me and my friend were nearly a hour late because of one bus schedule not being accurate, DO NOT USE IF YOU ARE INA HURRY

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-12-15, version 3.7.0*

It says buses are coming and they don’t show up.

### 1/5 — Would appreciate access to schedules on this app

*2023-10-17, version 2.20.2*

I am trying to plan my trip for tomorrow and am finding it very challenging. Why not put the schedules on the app?

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Rude Drivers - Terrible

*2026-05-19*

I have travelled the world and used mass transit regularly. Your drivers (not just one bad apple) are a bunch of angry morons - probably union protected.
We decided to walk for the rest of our stay in Halifax.

### 1/5 — Incorrect route info

*2025-10-07*

Missed express buses due to app schedule not matching existing route schedules

### 1/5 — Hard to follow gps not correct

*2025-10-05*

I miss my bus all the time 67 never has accurate GPS, only shows one side of the route working sometimes, the driver always seems to be early or late but this is not a busy route that would have traffic delays. Might as well go back 20 years and take down the phone number and stop number and call to see, that is how accurate this is.

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2025-06-14*

This is the worse app I’ve ever used! Open the app click on a stop and it empty, no buses but the buses are running. App says bus is coming in 5 minutes but it’s driving by. App says bus is coming but it’s already gone by. Absolutely useless!

### 1/5 — Undefined

*2025-06-13*

Worked fine in Halifax (although a bit slow) for live schedules. Tried in Bedford and it hasn’t worked since even though it shows location on map; cannot even look up using stop numbers.

### 1/5 — Goes down all the time recently

*2025-06-13*

The app is great when it works but goes down all the time recently

### 1/5 — Undefined city?

*2025-06-13*

All of a sudden, the app cannot find any routes nearby. It tells me I am in an undefined city, and won’t let me add Halifax again. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling twice so far.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-06-11*

Wants me to sign up and it never completes it and it’s not accurate. Yesterday o was on barrington stop and kept saying I was on Granville????

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-03-09*

I’ve had this app for three months and take the bus nearly every day. Not once has this app provided accurate info.

### 1/5 — Practically useless

*2025-02-24, version 3.8.0*

No instructions on how to use this app. Estimates of bus waiting times are inaccurate. I find the printed schedule makes more sense.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Simple easy free

*2024-03-14, version 3.8.0*

Just like my title simple easy and free

### 5/5 — Better then the go time hotline

*2020-07-22, version 1.0.16*

Better then the booklets real time rocks

### 5/5 — Great app for an experienced rider who knows the routes.

*2018-12-03, version 1.0.5*

I really like this app a lot because it tells me what I need to know - arrival times for buses at any bus stop. I don’t need trip planning. I know where I’m going and all the bus options to get me there and all I need is clear,  uncluttered arrival times with a couple of taps at the most. This app does that really well. Saving your regular stops as favourites makes things even simpler.

### 5/5 — Pretty accurate

*2018-11-09, version 1.0.5*

I must say it’s pretty accurate for timing👍👍👍👍👍

### 4/5 — Very helpful

*2025-06-04*

Slightly unintuitive interface but a very useful app for the casual visitor. Thank you.

### 4/5 — Need to have a feature of showing delays and cancellation

*2023-09-16, version 2.20.2*

It really annoying when I need to get to work and I can’t tell if the bus is late or canceled

### 4/5 — You need a capability for electronic tickets

*2023-07-17, version 2.20.2*

Many other jurisdictions have eTicket capability on their transit app. It would be very well received.

### 3/5 — Rider

*2025-12-31*

Catching the bus is so much easier with this no matter how bad the buses smell still glad to get it over with as quickly as I can

**Developer response:** Thank you for your 5 star review. Glad to know that app is being helpful.

### 3/5 — Smartphone app

*2024-10-10*

The dark blue background with black lettering is impossible to see in the trip description, especially in the glare of the sun. I think you should stick to black-and-white and even with a magnifying glass the black and blue lettering is extremely difficult to read.

### 3/5 — Never on time

*2024-01-25, version 3.8.0*

The 22 is constantly off schedule I miss my connecting every time. It’s like it just comes when it wants to. Sometimes it just skips a route for no reason. The bus drivers don’t slow down also other bus drivers use it like a taxi n have personal conversations at full volume. They sit in the front n don’t move for seniors. I’ve made many complaints n nothing changes.
