### 5/5 — Aye Aye

*2026-08-20, version 12.3.9*

Game changing app for people who use public transport/ Ventura busses. Much more accurate than the state of Victoria’s app. No more leaving home, waiting in the wet and cold for a bus that is late. Real time tracking within 20-30 seconds. 
Remember to hail the driver and also thank them for your journey. And top up the Myki and pay.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2026-07-23, version 12.3.9*

The real time update of bus tracking’s is accurate. Excellent app

### 5/5 — Live Track

*2025-12-09, version 12.1.9*

Great to see Live Tracking working so I can catch the right Bus!

### 3/5 — Moody app

*2025-05-20, version 12.1.9*

Occasionally shows you the location of the busses, most of the time they just aren’t on the map and you have to trust google maps that the bus is actually on its way. Please put the busses on the map so people don’t get confused and think the bus isn’t coming, only to catch an uber and end up alongside said bus that was invisible on the map like it transporting dangerous goods. Far out

### 4/5 — Pretty accurate but needs more routes

*2025-03-29, version 12.1.9*

I use daily because I am someone who uses public transport to get around. I’ve been using this app for a good 7 months or so, and it’s actually quite accurate. The only downside is that it doesn’t have every bus. I’d really appreciate if you could add routes 902 and 903 as I take those two frequently as well

### 1/5 — Missing and inaccurate information on your apps

*2025-02-27, version 12.1.9*

I am waiting for Ventura team to callback and explain why in the Ventura apps I couldn’t locate route 668 and see the accurate route map and timetable for school bus 2553 and 2562.

### 5/5 — Great Tracking

*2024-12-06, version 12.1.9*

Nice to be able to see all the buses on the route and work out how long before they get to my stop

### 3/5 — Mostly works

*2024-05-30, version 12.1.9*

Works ok but why can’t you add school buses to favourites?

### 3/5 — Good but not the best

*2024-05-23, version 12.1.9*

This app has definitely helped from time to time to see how far my bus is. However, the tracking on it seems a bit “choppy” to me as it is half the time shows the bus in an incorrect place (about 100 meters off sometimes). Anyways, app could use some work, but overall it is still a pretty good app to use if you want to track your bus.

### 1/5 — it no work fic app plee

*2024-03-27, version 12.1.8*
