Please add Chicago!
This app is great, would love to see the Chicagoland region added
it used to be good
this app is great for us transit nerds but is slowly getting worse :( there’s a lot of legacy bugs, the developer is unresponsive about new bugs (and unresponsive in general), and when you submit info for new vehicles they don’t get updated. i know the developer is just 1 person and it’s a side project but some general communication around the state of the app would be good. the bugs are slowly growing and its making the app unusable.

Best but not perfect.
If you’re looking for a transit tracker this is by far the best ever, if your agency is supported. There are flaws though:
#1 Not all agencies are supported.
Many times this is simply because an agency doesn’t have GTFS data (tracking data) available but there are times where it just hasn’t been put on here.
#2 Not all vehicles have info.
Yes “Mr. Pantograph” is not everywhere all at once and probably has not been to all the places in the app, but the solution to this is supposed to be the email channel to send new information about this, but that is dependent on-
#3 UPDATES
I don’t know what “Mr. Pantograph” is doing, I’m not going to go out on whim and say they’re lazy or something, they might have moved on to more important things in their life. But then, why is it, that I am paying for Pantograph Pro and it seems like every year this app is slowly slowly getting more out of date and left behind? Abandoned? For instance, Lane Transit District in Eugene Oregon updated their GTFS data to a new link, the simple solution to this is to change the link to which the GTFS data is collected for Pantograph in the app, but that has not been done, meaning anyone with Pantograph in Eugene is just left in the dust, because some guy hasn’t got around to it.
I want to say Pantograph is amazing, and it is when it works. When it works it gives unmatched information in a very intuitive and simple package. I can say that at least initially there was a lot of passion and thought put into this. But now, it’s flawed. It’s sad to see such an amazing app go by the wayside, to end up half broken like so many passion projects. So close, yet so far.

This app is great BBBUUUTTTTT…
I love this app because it allows you to see all the buses around you (most of the time, however some agencies don’t support bus tracking) the thing that bugs me the most though is that sometimes when I enter the app, the map is completely empty.
Good
Good app but the app is always broken and takes weeks to get fixed
