User reviews

Its ok

The load time varies. Like when i need to see immediately it doesn’t show. But were the locations of the buses are pretty accurate.

Frustrating

This app is just frustrating. When it works, it does the bare minimum for what it is but most of the time it’s experiencing some sort of issue like failing to load your favorited stops or covering functions in the app with alerts that can’t be dismissed

Legit just doesn’t work

The app just doesn’t work 90% of the time

Clunky and not well maintained

Spotty. Sometimes you have to open it several times to actually get it to load. Time updates are inaccurate at times. Poor communication when schedules change due to holidays and summer semester. It’s difficult to fine which buses service the stops you want. Basically you have to open every and see what stops it services instead of being able to search an area for stops or open a stop and see what buses stop there.

Crashes every single time

This app crashes every time I open it. I don’t know why! My phone is updated, I’ve deleted and redownloaded the app. I cannot see where the buses are and that means I’m perpetually missingbuses because the posted schedules are often off by +/-15 minutes. Where are the buses?!?
