부정확해요

버스를 많이 놓쳤어요

No Full English

You can switch to English as a foreigner and tourist but when you select subways it all changes to Korean again.

Unreliable

9/26/2025: This app would be useful if only it were accurate. It's not. It's also clear that no one involved in its management reads these reviews.

(much older): The bus arrival times are usually off. The app tells you there will be a bus in 15 minutes, yet it arrives much sooner and you miss it. There’s been no improvement in this area over many years.

정류장 지도 안나오게 해주세요 옛날이 더 좋아요

한 화면에서 비교해서 볼 수 있는 정보값이 너무 줄어들었습니다. 버스별로 차지하는 공간이 너무 넓어요. 그리고 즐겨찾기 한 정류장은 지도부터 뜨느라 데이터 잡아먹고있고 시간은 또 왜이렇게 오래 걸리나요? 되돌려주던가 하다못해 사용자 편의를 위해 지도보기 켜고 끄는 기능이라도 있어야하는거 아닌가요? 너무 불편해요!!
업데이트를 하려면 효율적이고 사용하기 편한 방향으로 고민을 해주세요. 여기서 모든걸 다 하게해야지! 이런 고민 말고요. 사용자들은 지금 당장 버스 탑승에 필요한 그 정보를 얻으려고 이 앱을 여는거지, 이 앱을 하루종일 들여다보면서 놀고 있으려는게 아닙니다. 카카오 요즘 왜 정체성을 버리고 한군데서 모든걸 해결하고싶어하나요? 버튼 하나 누를때마다 무거워서 버벅대는걸 보고있으면 속이 터집니다.

버스 시간이 안떠요;

요즘 자꾸 버스 시간이 안떠요; 근데 막상 버스정류장 가면 버스는 왔고 진짜 업데이트 된 이후로 너무 불편해요;;;;; 어플 덕분에 뒷목 잡는 일이 늘어났습니다👍👍 다른 어플로 갈아타야겠어요
