Used to be great, but now inaccurate

This app used to be awesome—way better than the original RTS app. However, for the last few weeks it’s been completely inaccurate for my route, 13. Maybe it’s still good for the other routes, I don’t know, but it’s caused me to miss busses or sit outside waiting for a bus that’s 20 minutes away because it said it was nearby. Unfortunate because this app used to be so great. I know the dev says all the data comes from RTS, but the RTS app has been accurate where this one hasn’t.

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.
