User reviews

No live tracking makes it useless

This app kind of worked when there was live tracking. Often had to refresh the app to show the live tracker sometimes. Now that they got rid of the live tracking havnt used the app once and have decided to delete it. Got rid of the most useful part of it.

Fix live tracking

Please fix live tracking. Half the buses don’t have it working. That’s the most helpful part of the app.

Worst App of All Time

I’ve genuinely never seen something like it, truly one of the worst apps of all time. it’s a coding mystery on how they made it so bad. I can’t remember one time over the past two years it’s told me the correct time my bus was coming. Oh the bus is 5 minutes away? let me walk the 2 minutes it takes me to stop, I get there, either i somehow missed the ghost bus because now it says it’s 19 minutes away! ok well I guess I’ll walk home. I turn around at my house, boom, it’s leaving. not 5 minutes away, not 19 minutes away, but 10 since I’d left the first time. I love slo, I love cal poly, this app has genuinely made me think about dropping out and moving.

Unreliable

Often busses do not appear appear on the map. Sometimes the app says a bus will be coming and it never does.

A social experiment by the deranged

With this app, you too can be late for classes because the buses didn’t show up on the map and the times never updated to reflect the bus that passed 15 minutes before schedule!
