She Saw us running up Kitty Hawk. Did not wait. So now I will have to wait over 20 mins & miss my connection home. Shame on her. 4.25pm ### 1/5 — Waste of phone memory *2023-10-11, version 5.127.0* It could say the bus is arriving in 2 minutes and then, when it doesn’t, you go back in the app and it says 15. And even that is not accurate because once you start walking over (who’s is faster!!) you see it coming down the road 10 minutes later. When it is close in time (when the number turns green), it STILL doesn’t arrive on time. Part of this app’s issue is their actual drivers and the navy yard itself. Their drivers are ridiculously slow because some are busy texting and then the navy yard entrance has been under construction for 2 years so they have to around the entire place to get to you. The app hasn’t accommodated for that. In addition they only have ONE BUS going around and around instead of several to be able to pick up everyone. They should consider putting GPS on their buses and connecting it to the app so you can get more accuracy. Or save yourself trouble and don’t ever accept a job in the navy yard in Filthadelphia. ### 1/5 — Not a legitimate transit option *2023-06-01, version 5.115* Real time tracker has only ever worked once in 1.5 years. Drivers arrive and depart whenever they want. If they know how long it takes to run a route, why not make the bus on a legit schedule so people can actually plan when to be at the station to get picked up instead of “approx. every 15 minutes.” You know how long the route is just make the schedule set times. Also, since the buses arrivals/departures aren’t reliable, good luck planning your SEPTA trip to the bus stop. The shuttle doesn’t not take into consideration SEPTA’s bus and train arrivals so a lot of busses and trains get there a minute or two after the bus leaves, especially the early bird shuttle then you’re left waiting 25 minutes. The only thing I can thing of other than poor management by Kraff is that they are short on drivers which is why they won’t make a set schedule but for anyone considering a job in the Navy Yard and is going to use the shuttle, sadly think twice. It gets old real fast, if you are lucky to work near a bike corral, rent a city bike to bike from NRG to downtown Navy Yard. Also, the routes need to be re thought. The bus should start by going down Pattinson to 26th, stop at TK, and then proceeded to the ship yard, Urban, the offices and then back up to NRG. That way people don’t have to ride the whole line just to get from Urban to NRG. This shuttle needs rethought. Final point, they either do or do not check fares. They check work IDs because people with a Navy ID need to pay. What about non employees? Isn’t this a free shuttle for the public too. Just doesn’t see useful to make some pay I know it has to do with dues paid for the overall funding. The whole shuttle system needs rethought and it is not a legitimate form of transit. ### 1/5 — Worst most uncaring drivers *2023-05-10, version 5.115* We can’t get anywhere in time because your drivers don’t care to keep to the schedule. They take breaks way longer than advertised in the app. 30min between buses that loop around 2.5 mile route is unacceptable ### 1/5 — Difficult to use *2023-03-13, version 5.103.1* Very difficult to use and navigate. Cannot find schedules. Timings are different and do not accurately advise on bus arrival. ### 1/5 — Where is the GD bus? *2022-10-06, version 5.98.0* The service is unreliable. The busses run too infrequently and sometimes don't show up at all. ### 1/5 — Shuttles are never on time *2022-08-09, version 5.98.0* The apps interface is terrible, right along with the shuttle schedule. There should be live updates for when a shuttle is going to be late by 20+ mins, especially in the middle of a heat wave! ### 1/5 — Horrible!!!!!! *2022-06-17, version 5.92.1* This app is absolutely worthless! Waited a whole hour for a bus and even though the app said several were scheduled to come by NIT KNE!!!! ### 1/5 — Pick up schedule at 10th & Filbert *2022-06-17, version 5.92.1* Has anyone bothered to look at the regional rail schedule when SEPTA trains arrive first thing in the morning. Please take a look at the NORRISTOWN and Doylestown lines-Please! When those trains arrive in the morning at Jefferson Station few of them synch up with the Navy Yard bus schedule which is set only on the top and bottom of the hour. Please shift your pick up times at 10th & Filbert 10-15 mins before or 10-15 mins at the top and bottom of the hour. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Useless *2022-06-09, version 5.92.1* Not only is the schedule wrong, you can’t figure out how to see it. I rate this app zero ### 1/5 — Awful app *2022-03-21, version 5.83.0* Terrible interface, no live updates for navy yard buses, contradicts navy yard website ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Buses not arriving *2025-07-16, version 5.139.2* If your bus isn’t going to come, then quit wasting my time. I can walk to nrg myself instead of waiting for your express. 7:22. Your drivers love not showing up later in the day. ### 1/5 — Totally Unhelpful *2025-04-15, version 5.139.2* Actively unhelpful. Lists shuttle times that are inaccurate and pickup locations that don’t exist. Why bother writing a schedule if it is meaningless. Plus drivers randomly decide they are breaking and will skip stops. Terrible service with a terrible app. ### 1/5 — not helpful *2025-04-08, version 5.139.2* you can’t really search for your destination, most often have to find the spot on the map yourself. half the time the suggested route isn’t even the fastest. needs major updates ### 1/5 — Don’t trust the schedule *2025-02-11, version 5.139.2* A group of us were waiting in the cold for over an hour for a bus to come. Two busses were scheduled to come during that time. Please incorporate live tracking so people aren’t waiting in freezing temps! ### 1/5 — Not following schedule *2025-02-05, version 5.139.2* No bus for 6:30am. People waited in cold weather for extended periods. ### 1/5 — Where is the GD bus? *2025-01-10* Update: January 2025- Still the same level of service. No 7:40 bus. Not late. Just didn’t come. The service is unreliable. The busses run too infrequently and sometimes don't show up at all. ### 1/5 — Really confusing *2024-02-28, version 5.127.0* This app is incredibly difficult to navigate in figuring out when the shuttle picks up. Really difficult. ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2024-02-21, version 5.127.0* This app is complete garbage, real time is non-existent. Not only the app, but the shuttles don't always show up on time. I'm talking about the very first shuttle in the afternoon. ### 1/5 — Navy Yard Transit is consistently late *2024-02-06, version 5.127.0* App is inaccurate and the navy transit is unreliable. Always late or early, never on time. Over crowed , aggressive drivers who often put the safety of the passengers at risk. ### 1/5 — Not at all dependable *2024-01-30, version 5.127.0* This app DOES NOT inform of delays or give any warning of missed routes. I am so tired of waiting for shuttles that never show up! I have missed countless trains due to NY transit. It’s awful. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Express Drivers *2025-11-11, version 5.175.0* Courteous and kind, very nice ride to a from the Yard. Great start to my day :) ### 5/5 — Great app! *2022-09-14, version 5.98.0* This app is so helpful to get me to and from work at the Navy Yard. You can see the buses real time which is helpful to know how much time you have to leave your office and get to the stop. ### 3/5 — Why are some buses not showing up? *2025-01-21* The buses are getting lazy! Even if you think no one will be at a stop you should still show up! It’s always someone waiting for the bus even if it is 1 person. Its the winter time, not cool that you guys dont even show up at certain times especially the 3 buses that come before the last one of the day. ### 2/5 — Not following schedule *2025-01-27* Monday morning buses are always late. ### 2/5 — Basically Useless *2023-08-28, version 5.115* It is almost never accurate and has made me late to work dozens of times. Do not rely on the schedule. None of the drivers follow it. ### 2/5 — Basically Useless *2023-07-13* It is almost never accurate and has made me late to work dozens of times. Do not rely on the schedule. None of the drivers follow it. ### 2/5 — Incorrect time table *2022-01-28, version 5.72.1* Schedule in the app varies incredibly from google and printed time schedules. Which is correct because the bus doesn’t show at any of the listed times. “Approx every 15 minutes” doesn’t make sense. ### 2/5 — App is fine actual bus service is not *2021-12-07, version 5.72.1* I wish the drivers would operate to the actual timetable and not feel the need to just not show up at all.
