### 1/5 — Only works sometimes .

*2025-11-12*

Rarely works close to home. Not sure why.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2025-09-29*

Great app for Translink bus times. Sometimes has more accurate info than Google Maps and the ui is very nice.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work 95% of the time

*2025-07-24*

Keeps showing “No further transit scheduled” even when the buses are running. Does that for 95% of my searches.

### 5/5 — 𝙏𝙃𝙀 Best App For Vancouver’s Metro Transit Area!

*2025-05-20*

This app is very UI-friendly and I’ve tried many different transit apps over the years, but this one actually delivers! It’s very up-to-second in information and updates in traffic timing during peak hours and travelling times of the major metro area and the Greater Vancouver region and Lower Mainland. I highly recommend it.

### 3/5 — No longer works

*2025-01-26*

It hasnt worked for the last month or so. Won't display any bus information, sometimes it does and other times it doesn't display all bus routes at a stop etc. I just went to another app.

### 3/5 — Update seems to have messed it up

*2024-12-07*

This was great but now not all stops show buses arriving at all and those that do only show one bus at a time.

### 5/5 — It is ok

*2024-12-05*

Cold be better to track the bus

### 5/5 — M

*2024-02-07*

Verygood and precise

### 4/5 — Good App for live track

*2023-05-29*

Good App for live track. Please provide trip planner service also in app to find next day buses timing.

### 1/5 — It works but…

*2023-02-15*

It would be amazing if we were able to track the live location of the buses (as sometimes they’re early or late). Also, it won’t let you save the buses as your favourites, only the bus stops, so adding the bus feature would be great too :)
