Good

Please give us an Apple Watch compatible app!

Super helpful

Really appreciate how helpful this app is overall

A few too many minutes off

One bus away used to be almost 100% accurate. It’s over the last six months to a year that it has faltered.

It will show a bus being a couple of minutes away and then a few minutes later, show that it has passed by 2 min ago. Ghosts!!!

As well, it seems to be 2-4 min min off, no thanks.

Super Helpful App

In real time updates.

Elite everyday bus app
