Way better than the RTS app

Shoutout my goat Jonathan

Thank God this alternative exists

I’m a UF student who has struggled using the normal RTS bus app for the UF campus and surrounding area. I’m thankful I found this app after reading the local paper the alligator. 5/5 stars, only complaint is that I had to type in NaviGator then specify RTS to find it in the App Store. The Seo could be improved a bit but I’m sure that it’s difficult.

Phenomenal

Your student who produced this app really did a phenomenal implementation. Frankly, this is even better than the old Rider and TransLoc apps.

Dip in quality

Used this app with not much issue for the past year, but the times for bus route 33 now are very inaccurate.
