Great App

Works well, easy too use and nice designs. Live activities is great and now works with vline. David responds quickly to any queries.

Dissappinting

I’ve found Shuttle to not really work as expected. For example, when I am trying to plan a trip from Mernda to Pakenham, Shuttle suggests that I should take the V/Line from Flinders Street to Pakenham- which isn’t available for that route. The UI is nice though. But for a paid transport app it should be able to do the same things as the free PTV app.

Looks promising

Although the freedom of choice is nice, feature bloat and UX makes everything convoluted.

> Why is there not just a single search bar on the home page? Why are recent locations not displayed on the search screen?
> Why is the clear button on the top of the screen?
> Why is everything so big? The app can only display 2 paths on one screen.

I can think many ways to improve this but I’ll just stick to the 2~ button intuition the free Apple Maps has, thanks.

Nice app

Is it possible to have real time information for vline as well. Like anytrip app has?

Best Melbourne public transport app

The easiest to use, most comprehensive app for Melbourne’s public transport network. No subscriptions, the app just works. Can’t recommend it enough.
