### 1/5 — Not working on ios 10.2.1

*2017-02-07, version 16.70*

Received "Origin does not have permission to use Geolocation service " error.

### 3/5 — Broken

*2015-09-29, version 16.21*

Worked pretty good for a while but now all you get is error message

### 5/5 — ..

*2015-03-25, version 3.5.31*

Sooooooo happy the App is back... Very accurate

### 5/5 — Real time location on map

*2015-03-09, version 3.5.31*

My friend told me about the website that runs this app, and I liked it because it shows you real-time in a map the locations of the buses.  He also explained that an asterisk near the time estimate shows that real-time data is being used rather than just the scheduled time.  Now that I've found that app in pleased there's a quick way to access the information from the website.

### 1/5 — Don't bother

*2015-03-03, version 3.5.31*

Probably the worst designed application ever. Half of the time it doesn't work at all - the other half it's slow and inaccurate.
