### 3/5 — Bus schedule

*2026-06-07, version 2.0.4*

Absolute atrocious

### 4/5 — Super useful transit app.

*2026-03-15, version 2.0.4*

Excellent app for navigating our beautiful city with transit. Accurate and straightforward. Thank you. Wonder if there are plans for an ad-free version for less distraction. Once that’s available - you’ll get the fifth star. ;-)

### 2/5 — R5

*2026-01-24, version 2.0.4*

Really off time schedules; skips busses no warning; and termination at Kootenay loop makes R5 no longer convenient.

### 3/5 — Pornographic images wtf?

*2025-12-29, version 2.0.3*

App is super useful but what is with the sick pictures?

### 3/5 — Route - info

*2025-09-14, version 2.0.3*

The app developer can set a button for selection of bus direction & information, as the bus information now from both directions cluster together.

### 2/5 — Confused

*2025-03-21, version 2.0.1*

I didn’t think I was going to be charged for what I thought was the free version of this app.  
Also where do I find out if i pay an annual or one time fee for this?  
It should notify the user if they will be charged for their inquiry - the upgraded service.

### 2/5 — Scheduling

*2025-03-11, version 2.0.1*

When you bring up the bus stop map and click on a stop, a popup shows a rout name and stop#. However when you are asked to click of arrival times, another window pops up, but all bus stop names change!! and MOST importantly NO stop#! So now it is a guessing game who to find the correct information!

### 4/5 — Show directions of buses please

*2024-12-19, version 2.0.0*

I like this app better than the Transit app , this app is clean and easy to use , but if the developer can take a look at the TTC Bus Map App ( for Toronto) , it shows the directions of the buses, streetcars, so at a glance you will know how close your next ride is without tapping on the vehicle’s icon to find out the direction of the vehicle.
Also it would be nice if there’s a list of our favorite / frequent routes .

### 2/5 — Not updated - missing routes and stops

*2021-10-27, version 1.18*

Is not current or updated. There are a few UBC routes and stops that are not on the map and cannot be searched, which doesn't make it useful for comparing route plans and times.

### 2/5 — devastating ux/ui

*2021-10-16, version 1.18*

A useful app with a painful user experience 
• It is almost impossible to spot your location on the map because it’s usually hidden under the bunch of huge bus stop circles. Therefore, whenever I use the app I play the game “find your bus stop” before your bus comes.
• too many interactions to get to the timetable. I would expect it to appear right after I tap a blue button. 
• a very inconvenient way of portraying routes with a line of circles. Not only is it hard to guess which streets you will ride but it also may provoke a case of trypophobia. 
• if you need to find a specific route it may be challenging because there are more than 700 routes and no search bar. Just keep scrolling.
• location identifier doesn’t work properly all the time.

### 1/5 — No service Saturday

*2021-08-14, version 1.18*

Saturday in the heatwave and no service up Davie street. No wonder I drive .

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — not live

*2025-12-02, version 2.0.3*

i was late, because the app had me wait for a bus that never arrived

### 1/5 — Does not have every stop, just random ones

*2025-07-28, version 2.0.2*

For a transit app for the city it’s reasonable to expect that every stop in the downtown area be on the map but they are missing pretty critical ones like the 257 to and from horseshoe bay

### 1/5 — Don’t give out credit card!!!

*2025-07-07*

I accidentally clicked a google ad that said mobile confirmation. Clicking that brought me to a credit card page, which is a scam for gflashs.com.  The app is really not helpful and I’m deleting it a day after installing.  Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Scam link on app

*2025-07-03, version 2.0.2*

This app contained an add, disgusted as this app’s registration,  with a phishing scam on it. I would definitely not recommend.

### 1/5 — Dissatisfied

*2024-11-16, version 1.27*

I downloaded it on to my IPhone. I used it on my Samsung. It doesn’t provide the same information as good as the Samsung one.

### 1/5 — Inaccurate information

*2024-09-24, version 1.27*

Information for arrival bus time is inaccurate.   It showed bus arrival time was 11minutes later.  Bus showed after 26 minutes later.   Mass my plan. It was not my first worse experience.  I have had more bad experience.

### 1/5 — Scam Ahead — Stay Away

*2024-06-08, version 1.27*

Whenever I use the app it takes me to some adult website that wants my credit card info. Can’t tell if the app is a scam or has been hijacked.

### 1/5 — Just use google?!?

*2022-11-22, version 1.19*

The most misleading times you can get!

Try 14 min prior….

### 1/5 — INTRUSIVE ADS

*2022-04-28, version 1.18*

The ad placement is absurd and nasty. They are placed in a banner right at the bottom of the screen -easy to accidentally trigger.
Get real Transit!  Remove the ads completely please!  This is a public service for which no ads should be involved!
Sufficiently dissatisfied to abort using this app.

### 1/5 — Not real time, no meaning to download it

*2022-01-04, version 1.18*

Not real time, no meaning to download it

### 5/5 — Utilié pour vivre à vancouver

*2026-04-25, version 2.0.4*

Cette application est nécessaire pour vivre à Vancouver si vous n’avez pas de voiture.

### 5/5 — I love the transit bus in the bus? iphone?

*2026-01-21, version 2.0.4*

Vancouver transit is in vancouver with the bus stop in the transit.

### 5/5 — Great plugin and easy to use

*2025-01-26, version 2.0.1*

After the VT Live plugin stopped working, I found your plugin. So much easier to use, cleaner design and just works. Good Job!

PS. If you had a paid ad-free version that would be nice. I hate mobile ads.

### 5/5 — To find a Bus

*2025-01-23, version 2.0.1*

Wonderful App

### 5/5 — 🙂🙂

*2025-01-14, version 2.0.1*

It  is wonderful

### 5/5 — Transit

*2024-06-21, version 1.27*

This app it’s pretty good to used so far

### 5/5 — Missing something

*2023-03-28, version 1.21*

I don’t get it.  The App never knows where I am, it always goes home even when I’m out and about.

### 5/5 — Love the transit it forces you to be human

*2021-04-03, version 1.17*

If riding the transit as your only way it allows one the privilege to view the whole spectrum of urban species.Thereby granting empathy to the individual applicant and lest we forget the great work of the Bus Drivers.

### 5/5 — Better wifi.

*2021-02-26, version 1.17*

Your app should work on ALL BUSES!!!!
Wifi should be EVERYWHERE!!! Not logging into different networks!!

### 5/5 — All routes included

*2020-05-21, version 1.11*

Thanks for adding all the routes. Now it is really easy going everywhere knowing what route fits best my journey. You’re golden!
