Terrible update

Removed a lot of essential features. Where is departurevision? Why does the live feed not update? And where in the world do we see the intermediate stops - isn’t this a critical feature? Should I just randomly guess in how many stops my destination will be?

What happened?

I used to be able to buy bus tickets with no problem now I can’t even buy a bus ticket. I can’t use my Face ID to login. Schedules are not accurate. What happened? How am I supposed to buy bus tickets on my app??

cumbersome and disappointing

lacking in the intuitive features one would expect from a transit app. it's really inconvenient to use. there's really no purpose to using this over an ordinary map app. can't even purchase bus tickets anymore.

Downgrade

The original NJ Transit application was a no frills, easy to navigate application that got the job done. This new “upgrade” has a cumbersome UI that constantly logs you out at the most inconvenient times.

Gets better then worse

This newest update is terrible. I’ve missed buses or thought buses have passed because the information isn’t there or is incorrect. Mostly the time doesn’t say when it’s actually coming but instead says “all aboard.” How is that supposed to help me?
