BAD SERVICE

THIS APP IS HORRIBLE. IT HAS PLUSES AND MINUSES; OVERALL IT IS HORRIBLE. DOESN’T SHOW THE BASIC BUS ROUTE TIME AND SCHEDULE SO THAT YOU CAN PULL UP THE SCHEDULE TIMES AND STOPS. IF I WANTED TO MAKE A TRIP FOURS AHEAD IT DOES NOT PROVIDE CLARITY. WHERE IS THE DOWNLOAD SCHEDULE LIKE FOR THE JP TRANSIT HAS. THE JP DOWNLOAD MAPS,TIMES,AND SCHEDULES IS SIMPLY BETTER. WHY IS JP STUFF ALWAYS BETTER THAN NEW ORLEANS STUFF! IT ALWAYS IS!

RIP off

What a rip off this trolley is !!! First time using it the trolley never came!!!! We were a bunch of ppl waiting. Realizing that we were now late to the wedding I was going to call an Uber, but we saw the lights of the trolley coming towards us. Finally it reaches us but we can not get on because it was packed . The driver said we had to catch the one coming behind him. Well we get on and I asked the driver if he knew where we could get off for our event… he was so rude!!! His response was no how would I know? I just said well being from here I thought you’d know a few prominent locations!! We paid for 3 day pass ..we won’t be using it . We are using uber and taxis . Don’t waste you time and money!!!

Make a better app

Rta busses are always dirty and nasty never on time the app always showing false times Rta is a joke and this app is even worse than the last one

Late buses

I missed the 91 by less than half a block. The next 91 didn’t come for an hour and 20 minutes later. The app times were not accurate and live location wasn’t working. This has been a regular occurrence with both the 91 and the 11.

Bus time

This app needs to put the real time that the bus comes or tell us when there is a delay. This app is so unreliable when comes to time.
