TLThe story I love

Not working error message

It opens with an error message basically stating it’s not working and to try again later. The online version gives incorrect directions and thinks 5454 Wisconsin Ave. is in Northwest DC when it’s in Chevy Chase. Your software is a total waste of time to use.

Ride-on review

Very good but sometimes on the weekends not reliable

Unreliable

Buses are never on schedule. So I started relying on the app for bus arrival, but it is just as problematic as the schedule. Buses arrive as much as 10 minutes early or as much as 20 minutes late either way, the app or schedule wrong at least one a week.
