Unreliable/doesn’t work/needs update

This app just randomly stops working throughout the day almost everyday. It’s almost useless and needs an update!!!!

Bad service

Cannot rely on this app it’s always crashing

Always wants a review

Every time I try to look up the bus schedule, it interrupts and asks me to write a review. Here. Are you happy now???

No bus or train coming

Always shows bus or train coming then just skip to the next one

Almost reliable :-(

A tremendous convenience, but too often inaccurate . Not flagging ghost trains that never show up.
