Piece of junk app

Which fly by night company wrote this app with my taxpayer dollars? They need to be sued down to the last intern and contractor.

Astoundingly terrible

Led me to 3 stops that didn’t have the bus/route I needed and 1 stop that straight up didn’t exist. Additionally, app went down for several minutes leaving me no access to my “virtual card”. Pretty interesting stuff. Would give zero stars if possible!

Please allow panning away from current location

Unable to plan my route because as I pan the map always resets to my current location. Please fix
