Good app

I have used it for several years and most of the time works well. When it does not neither do the others

Legendary

One of the few rare apps that are compatible with my Iphone 7 plus 😭🤦🏾‍♂️. Works amazing though, easy to use and doesn't have any unwanted adverts or anything to bother you. Shows you nearby bus stops allocated to your location and allows you to favourite bus stops too for you to immediately look at ahead of time without searching them up. But yeah top tier app 5 stars no complaints from me!

PS. The seconds feature is so cool lol never remove that
