Can’t buy ticket

This app does not work to pay for a ticket. I get to the final screen where it says “Buy Ticket”. Clicked button, nothing happens. I tried to do it through the website, website told me to use app. Tried app again, doesn’t work. I wish I would have known it wasn’t going to work before I got to the stop. Very disappointing and a huge waste of my time

Hello, The RideMETRO app doesn't have the option to purchase mobile tickets. Please download the METRO Q Mobile Ticketing app from the Apple App Store in order to purchase and use tickets. You can learn more by visiting our website at: www.ridemetro.org/riding-metro/apps/q-mobile-ticketing-app Thank you for choosing METRO.

Absolutely useless

Inaccurate information given about Park & Ride routes. Waited at specified bus stop for over 30 minutes (#631 from 8:50 am until 9:24 am). Finally a bus driver stopped and gave me advise on how to return to my Park & Ride because the route service won't even drive by #631 again until mid afternoon. So I went back to the stop I came in on (#619) and got on the bus I needed. THE APP cost me hours!!!! Of time. This kind of error is completely unwarranted and makes the APP Useless for anyone "not already in the know".

Absolute Garbage

Honestly, they should just take the money they’re paying to Metro and burn it, at least then it would provide warmth.

Useless

Everytime I try to figure out my route it never works…. Keep it simple stupid…
