False information

Tells us the wrong time the dash is coming

Convenient and easy to use

Saves a lot of time! Love using this over tap or cash.

Good app, unacceptable startup speed

A great idea well executed, but startup speed is just too slow. Many times when I see the bus turn the corner a block away, I open the app, but it barely gets past the splash screen even as I am stepping into the bus. All other apps on my phone open with expected loading times, but this one takes 3-4x as long. If this one feature were fixed, it would get 5 stars.

Crashes on launch

Can I reinstall or will I lose my credit?
This is not a question I should have to ask.

It was ok otherwise.

Needs modernization

The app is way better than keeping track of a card. Would be nice to be able to access tickets quickly as the current interface is very cumbersome. Takes way too long and I’ve had it crash a few times and almost leave me stranded at a bus stop trying to get it to work.
The ability to see where the busses are at on a map is cool...until you realize there’s 10 busses all on the same block and they’ll not be to you for 20 minutes.

FAQ

What does the LA Mobile app do?

The LA Mobile app is the official mobile ticketing application for LADOT Transit. It allows users to conveniently purchase and use tickets and passes for DASH and Commuter Express bus services directly from their smartphones. The app also provides access to real-time transit information and trip planning tools.

How do I purchase tickets with LA Mobile?

To purchase tickets, simply download the free app, choose your desired service (DASH or Commuter Express), select the fare type and quantity, and then check out using a registered debit/credit card, PayPal, or Apple Pay. A $5 minimum purchase is required.

Can I use my tickets offline?

An internet connection is required to purchase tickets, but you can use and activate your purchased tickets offline. It is important to ensure your ticket is activated when your bus approaches and displayed to the driver for validation.

What happens if my phone battery dies?

Similar to paper tickets, you are responsible for ensuring you have a valid fare at all times. It is recommended to monitor your phone's battery level and plan accordingly to avoid issues with fare validation.

How can I transfer my tickets if I get a new phone?

To transfer unused tickets to a new phone, it is recommended to create an account within the app before purchasing tickets. Creating an account is the only way to transfer your tickets if you switch devices.
