Good app, bad monetization

The app is pretty sleek, but is full of obtrusive ads and the only way to remove them is subscription, like everything these days. I don’t want to pay subscription for my bus schedules lol even if only a few bucks a month

Cost for pro

As a disabled rider with limited income is there a reduced rate for the pro version?

No Means No

Stop bothering me about notifications and location. I said no, what should that mean? Disgusting design.

Scheduling Nightmare

Looking up when the last train runs? Good luck with this confusing mess of an app. Makes planning ahead a real pain. It’s fine for scheduling a specific trip but useless as a reference.

Just One Bus Away you pay for

Doesn’t have actual real time tracking on buses, goes off the same schedule as OBA but also asks you to pay for it while OBA is free. Nice UI and all but not better than what you can get for free.

Thanks for the honest feedback. You're right that we use schedule-based data similar to OBA, and that's a fair point about value. We'd love to hear what features would make the subscription worthwhile to you. Please reach out at support! The Seattle Transit: Bus Tracker Team

Scam

The app offered to buy ad-free version for $5 VERY clearly saying its a one time fee, and not a subscription. I clicked “purchase” only to discover… I subscribed to it with monthly renewal! Omg why, I just don’t get it, spending all this effort to build a nice app and then ruin it with these cheap and dirty tricks in to swindle inattentive people of a few extra bucks. Shame, omg what a shame.

Was the best way finder for this out-of-town-er

I use this app to get around downtown and various areas while house hunting. It was invaluable in getting me to these locations and 100% accurate. Kudos to the developer.

Seniors

Would love to see a one-time fee for seniors. Too expensive for just occasional use. Would love to recommend app to other seniors, but may be too expensive for some.

Thank you for your feedback! 😊 We appreciate the suggestion about a one-time fee for seniors. We want our app to be as accessible as possible, and we’ll definitely consider this idea for future updates. Your support and willingness to recommend us means a lot—thank you! 🚍✨

Pretty Slick!

The app works well to understand the commute options to get to your destination, including scooters and e-bikes (you must pay a small premium to see these options).

The “Go” functionality works well and predicts 1 line arrivals accurately. I haven’t tried it for busses. I do like how it notifies you of your stop in case you are not paying attention.

The ability to give feedback on the seat availability and cleanliness/loudness of the vehicle and station is cool and I hope the data is used by transit productively to keep the trains and stations clean. The 1 line does seem to have a small but consistent amount of riders who camp out and sometimes create a mess in the back seats and leave the fabric seats dirty.

Overall this is a big improvement in the app and much appreciated by this commuter.

System Errors and NO assistance available

After a Mariners game my wife and I were directed to walk approximately 1 mile to catch the 550 bus to return to Bellevue Transit Center. It was approximately 10 PM. We we arrived at the directed site there was no transit bus stop at that location. The APP then notified us that that bus stop was closed due to construction. The APP would not direct me to another bus stop - it kept directing us to the same location. We walked until we found Transit Security employees- they directed further back to where we had originally started walking. When we arrived there there was no 550 pickup site. A downtown bus driver took us back up to another location and directed us to walk down hill from 2nd to 4th Ave to a bus stop there - there was no bus stop there. We walked further uphill and found a bus stop & a 550 bus was stopped there. When we tried to get on the bus, the driver REFUSED to let on, saying it was a drop off location only. I explained the it was 10:30 PM and we needed to get back to Bellevue Transit Center before the last bus. He refused to tell us where a bus stop was that we could catch. He rudely shut the doors on us. After walking more miles we found 2 more Transit Security employees that told us to go back to the transit stop where the driver refused to let us on. A few blocks more of walking and trying to use the USELESS APP, we caught a CAB that cost us $75 to take us back to the Bellevue Transit Center where our vehicle was parked. It was mid-night. Don’t trust your life to Seattle Transit!!!

We're so sorry for this awful experience. What should have been a simple trip home turned into hours of stressful walking late at night, and our app clearly let you down when you needed it most. We sincerely apologize and are looking into this. Please reach out to our support team so we can help further. The Seattle Transit: Bus Tracker Team
