Very bad BU shuttle

It is not on-time. Some do not come at all. You might miss your classes . Terrible.
Also the app is very non functional

Terrible

This app is absolutely terrible… just make it like Apple Maps or Google Maps, please.

a necessary evil

by far the worst transit app i’ve ever used. useless 90% of the time because the buses are never on schedule and that’s all the info you get because the live feature is never working, but there’s no other way to know when the bu bus is coming unless you by chance happen to open it in that 10% of the time that it’s working properly.

Bad service

The bus is mostly not on time. They skip timings in summer. And the app doesn’t updated anything. Tracking is wrong or doesn’t work at all.

Does not show real time

The shuttles are never on time and the tracking is basically useless. The busses definetaly need live locations for this app to work properly
