Token Transit holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Token Transit has 431 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of Token Transit's written reviews are positive against 100% of Nittany Express Ride's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Token Transit ships an update every 3 months, Nittany Express Ride every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
