4/5A really good start!
Using MBTA’s system, this app is by far the most accurate at displaying things like Train times (especially for underground stops that most apps get inaccurate). Bus tracking is very accurate as well. This could be me daily driver if it didn’t have random issues that make it impossible to load and with the expansion of more features like route suggestions and travel. With some work this could be the best go-to mass transit app but until then I’ll have to keep switching between this and Transit App. Thank you for trying to seriously make an app for this though because it was missing in the mbta app lineup.

4/5Great start to the basic MBTA needs
Still has a lot of work to do to catch up to Transit and other apps, but if you just want your favorite stop’s next bus/train, or want to compare different transit options, it is pretty solid. Some stuff it is missing: directions, trips very far in future (next day). Now that Transit went to their Freemium model and nerfed several great features, this makes up for some of what is lost. For example, being able to move around the map and see time of arrival for multiple stops.

4/5it’s 2024 people wake up
why can’t we buy tickets online. I’m sick of bus drivers being mean to me because I’m a young working individual that likes to not carry cash. this is a step in the right direction but feels like a farce of an app. travel and take time to use the New Jersey and New York transit. I would never ever have any of the problems commuting there I do here. Boston keeps its people stupid and depressed. I wish you all well.

5/5Reliable
The most important aspect for me about this app is its reliability in terms of the information it provides. The real-time information feels (just my observation) more accurate than any other services I’ve used. I hope this create a momentum that the MBTA make consistent improvements in connecting the public transit data (and make them more available in the physical vehicle) to this app

5/5Recommendation for future updates
When you update the app, I would like just one thing, it is recommended to make the live follow give notifications to the user about delays, ETA, etc even when the app is closed! Still overall, this is a great outfit for those who like scheduling things and being right on time! Honestly, I wanna say good job!
