User reviews

No one polices these issues reported

Constant people smoking weed, acting up on buses…reported. Never once is someone sent to stop the illegal activities. Groups of young teens vaping weed and the mbta turns a blind eye to them

Keep your head on a swivel

Excellent app that lets me quickly report any trouble I see on the T. Get it! Thanks

Good idea but clumsy implementation

I like the idea of this app, but you have to go through too many steps looking for things that may be non-obvious for use in an emergency situation, especially if you need to use it without being obviously focused on your phone for a long time.

Maybe it works?

I have sent a few messages in, unsure if they were resolved or not.

I recently sent a message choosing the “comment or complaint” option and was messaged back saying to use the website. I don’t understand why there would be a comment option if it leads to nowhere.

I saw. I said.

Great app to promote public safety.
