User reviews

Very regular user or the app

This app is brilliant! I tell everyone about it and how easy it is to use. My son insisted on using google maps because or its features and I said “so does the app” my brother was using something else and I said “try the app” so simple and really helpful. Everyone who uses public transport on the island should use it!!

Best service

This has got to be one of the best bus services I have travelled on in the South of England

Superbly useable

This is the most user-friendly and helpful bus journey planner that I’ve come across… you even get the exact location of each bus stop. Journey planning is easy, as you can set it up to always use your current location as a start point, and it will navigate to your destination telling you the right number of buses to catch, the location of the bus stops and accurate timings. Can’t fault it. 5*

App Payment Duplication Issue

App accepts invalid email addresses entered in error, app then takes payment and presumably tries to deliver bus passes to the invalid email address. No customer service, card company refunded.

Late bud

The buses are late most of the time even if the bus doesn’t come to the stop they don’t inform it most of the time
