Bug fixes and performance improvements

User reviews

Never works

Doesn’t load stops most of the time, or takes about 5-10 minutes to. Even when it does it usually doesn’t load the ones in my immediate area. Not a data or wifi problem because it happens when my connection is perfectly fine for everything else

Has issues

Is a great app. But when it was a free travel weekend I was unaware and the app still took money off me instead of advising it’s a free weekend travel. I’ve reported this but nothing back. Just stole my money. Not impressed

Messed up

The bus times and stops for the 20 and 20A are completely messed up and haven’t been fixed in months, and now the stops been moved and still nothings been fixed. It’s lazy, and incredibly annoying. People rely on this service to get to work. Pitiful and shoddy work on citybus part.

Remove map layers from maps view

Not sure who thought it would be a good idea to have the map layers section pop up every time you open the map view but it’s extremely annoying, trying to fix something that ain’t broken

Worthless

It never matches the actual times of buses, or what the bus-shelter displays tell you.
