We've updated the app to improve performance and streamline your commute.

User reviews

Watch app useless

The phone app looks nice but there are two things that don’t work well. First is the watch app only gives information for one particular station regardless of location and it doesn’t even provide departure times, essentially making the watch app useless. The second thing is the app doesn’t support widgets which would be nice to have in order to see departure times at a glance when I’m approaching the escalator.

Alert Time Stamp

The time stamp is not local but UTC.

Good app. but honestly hate for forced reviews.

Also asking me for feedback when I just downloaded is imprudent.

24th mission Bart to Menlo Park

I wish I could get a cheaper rate
I have infusions daily I travel 2buses Bart and Caltrain please combine its more than driving my 1996 Corolla on gas
But medications I can’t drive distances

Slow slow slow slow… did I mention slow?

The app doesn’t update fast, but at least it manages before too long. The watch app is the big problem. Even when the iPhone has been correct for minutes, the watch app refuses to update. I got it for the watch app and it’s a big disappointment.
