Alerts.

Still aren’t getting afternoon alerts when the bus is in the radius. Really frustrating

Good but

The bus pass only works sometimes because when I accidentally forget my id i use the bus pass but only works a certain amount of times and when it doesn’t work the bus driver just gives me a disgusted look.
