Live train locations !

Love the train location updates on the Sydney, Australia rail network.
Hate than the share trip goes 404
I use it a lot.

Update: I jumped to the modernized “next there” app by the same dev. Much better.
Sharing links works !

Thanks devs for leaving Triptastic on the App Store legacy customer support is just as important as acqisition. I suggest you fix the 404 and the broken zendesk link. Would be ok to link to the new “next there” app with a discount code.

Unusable

Update Aug 23, no longer opens mostly, if it does it crashes

Response from developer

Hi Tommo, sorry about that. We've fixed the issue causing this.

Infrequent updates

Infrequent updates, periodic database issues, and now, crashes on opening.

Triptastic Sydney bus not showing real time

Currently (5/2021) the app is not showing Sydney buses in real time.

Route: 61

The app is some times not working
Yesterday I tried to use route 61 but it wasn’t working can you please update it for me please?
Regards ( iPhone 7 )

An also route 32 is stopped working

UX issues limit it greatly

The life bus tracking is great. However there are several issues in usability I can no longer put up with. Eg showing 20 of the same trip in a list or constantly resizing the map view.

Rubbish for Surry Hills buses

All of the buses I need to track (that pass through the Surry Hills area) don’t show up in the live tracking...which is the only reason why I purchased this app. If I wanted scheduled information I wouldn’t have paid for this app 🙁 probably won’t recommend this to others.

App keeps crashing

Great app overall but it has only started constantly crashing. Makes it a bit annoying when you need to know when the next bus is coming and you're in an unknown area with no timetable information around

Response from developer

Sorry! We spotted this issue affecting some cities and fixed it from the server side in under 24 hours.

Downloading issues

Now Map continually downloads every time I open the App. Was a a great app that I’d recommended to my extended family as getting to where we live was much easier when able to coordinate on triptastic. Now churning up 150mb of data per day makes it pretty useless and developers haven’t been able to replicate.

It doesn’t work now

It was not bad, but now it doesn’t work! I’ve paid for it and have nothing now... It was not always reliable, but still useful.

Timetables for Australia not updated

Multiple services are incorrect or missing times. Used to be great, has nose dived.

Good app, but devs have moved on

The developer has moved on from this app - you're better off with NextThere which does the same things.

Dev email address no longer works

Devs have disappeared.. App is next to useless now - the data is so inaccurate a normal paper based timetable is better than this piece of rubbish...

No Vehicles

After the update, no more vehicles appear on the map. And it's not real time anymore it's just "scheduled". Fix this or give my money back

Excellent App

I've used this app for trains and buses and I love it as it makes using public transport very easy. It works well, the information is accurate and it's easy to use.

Ok but lacks depart & arrival time

It's ok & shows if the service is late. It does not allow to advance plan for a set departure time or arrival time.

Does not link buses and trains!

What a waste of money!

Can't search for a trip that combines a bus and train!

Instead I'm given the best option of bus and bus, which will take over 2 hours!!!
The bus / train trip actually takes 1hr 27mins.

Do not buy if you use both buses and trains!

Mostly good, sometimes terrible

I am not sure whether to blame the app, or the information they are receiving from NSW Transport. But my experience with the app mood swings from very accurate to completely terrible. Countless times I've had the app tell me a bus is arriving in x minutes, only for the bus to never come, and the app tell me that it's already departed.
It's great for a general idea of the bus times, not so much for accurate travel plans

The best of the bunch!

This app along with NextThere are all i need to making getting around town a breeze instead of a hassle, love it!

Not bad.

Still in need of refinement though. Lots to love but some bugs yet to iron out. Good effort though, but when spending almost four bucks on an app I reckon that it may be a little more serious, but I do understand that these things take time.
