Good app

Worst Bus app

You don’t upgrade your software properly. Everytime you try to do any changes in the app it get even worst. None of the notifications are shared on time.

Location stuck

Since the last update the location tracking has gotten worse, not better.

Bus app works okay when transportation updates it

The app only works when transportation updates the app. Instead it can be very draining and not useful because you will
have to call them and let them know the app isn't being updated. The drivers can be very rude and not update the app as well. Communication is key when other people people children are on the line.
