### 3/5 — Real time schedules

*2025-09-26, version 2025.1*

It would be greatly appreciated if the real-time schedules were more consistent

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2025-09-16, version 2025.1*

even google can tell bus timings i thought it will track the buses live where is it? and when my bus will reach my bus stop these types of stuff!

### 3/5 — Timetable issue

*2025-08-02, version 2025.1*

A good app for finding out when a bus would arrive but there’s an issue with the timetables. Today (saturday) It shows the regular Mon-Fri timetable even when selecting the “now” option, and the timetable skips a few days when scrolling down. But overall great app, just some issues that need to be fixed.
