What's New in Ride East Midlands

1.16.0

- Bug fixes - Minor improvements

User reviews

Regional Live Data

It has a friendly interface. Good real-time transit status: buses, ebikes. As far as I’m concerned there are no moving icons for trams and trains. Not a big deal, but to have the bigger picture, would be good if you could still see all the moving transit Icons when zooming out few more levels.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback! We’re actively reviewing how we can incorporate NET and train live updates in the Ride app. If you notice anything else, please share it via Account → Help us to improve.

Live Tracking is Fake

Advertisement claims the app can track buses live, which is not true. The 34C has a diverted route on university campus but the ride app “tracked” the bus on the original route. The app claimed the bus was across campus when it arrived at my stop.

Response from developer

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. While Ride does track in real-time, your feedback has highlighted an issue when deviated routes are being used. We will look into this as a matter of urgency and will update you via our blog (transportnottingham.com) on options and our approach to resolving this matter. Thank you for your feedback!

Getting better all the time

Live bus times and it even shows you the bus positions on the map! Outstanding.

I live in Derby and work in Nottingham and this app along with the eventual joined up ticketing is going to be a game changer.

Response from developer

Thank you for the review! It's great to hear the Ride app is working well for you!

Basic

Does not show roadworks closures , road works or travel disruption for the following week
As suggested.although it does look great and helpful for public transport links

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! Your suggestion regarding network updates has been documented, and we are actively reviewing to identify how this can be incorporated in the Ride app. Should you come across any other ideas, feel free to share them via Account → Help us to improve.

It’s fine?

It’s very basic. The options it gives you work, but are far from the best options and there’s nothing that lets you set it to what you prefer. E.g. it makes you take a 2 minute bus ride to go 1 stop to get a second bus rather than just walk to the bus stop. It also insists on showing different operators when there are dozens of options with the same operator but an extra 1 minute of walking.

It doesn’t do anything google maps doesn’t do other than let you buy tickets, but even then it doesn’t give you the best options so you’d end up paying more than using the operators own apps or just tapping on.

Look at citymapper or transit for better options in Nottingham.

Response from developer

Thanks for taking the time to try the app and share such detailed feedback on the routing. The Ride app is being continuously improved based on feedback like yours. While we can’t share a specific timeline increasing the level of customisation (so you can better tailor results to what you prefer) is a key priority for us. All suggestions are reviewed by our team, feel free to share it via Account → Help us to improve.
