Nice and clean app

I like how this is easy to use. Very clean looking. My only issue for not giving 5 stars is the lack of being able to forward my trip info to anyone directly from the app.

The Transit app is better

I was excited to try this app after several years of the Transit app. I’m glad Metro finally has an official platform, but it’s not as evolved. One difference is this app doesn’t show you where the buses are before they get to your stop. The Transit app isn’t always accurate with that, and I’m pretty sure they use other riders’ location data to facilitate that function, but it’s still nice to have. The Transit app also asks questions about the bus or rail stops, the faith you have in bus and train arrival times, your level of confidence in safety, etc. etc. I don’t know that they report all of that info to Metro, but it’s nice to feel like someone might be caring at some point
I hope that this app eventually evolves some of those relationship building functions.

Metro never changes

This app is horrible, says bus is 5 minutes away next thing you know is been another 20 mins of waiting. Two different lines I’ve waited over 20 minutes for says leaving now yet neither one is at the station and is nowhere to be seen

Far Better For Transit Than Google Maps

Honestly this app is great. The best thing by far is that it offers you a wider variety of more convenient transit routes than the transit tab on Google Maps has. Also this app has a similarly accurate arrival time estimation and shows you the live location of your bus. AND unlike Google, this app doesn’t present you with a route that logically seems most convenient and then hides that route from you 10 minutes later when you reopen the app. The navigation software is quite accurate as well in tracking where you are and where your bus is

It’s out of control

Line E is dirty, smells bad most of the time. Sodas all over the floor and you can imagine when walking on it first thing in the morning!
The LA Metro authorities CANNOT control it & they need to be changed to more capable people. Not even mentioning the cigarette smoking, Pot smoking & the very loud music that’s been played everyday on LA Metro!!!!
