  1. 5/5Absolute lifesaver!

    As someone who relies on public transit to get around, this app is essential, everyone who takes busses should have this on deck. It’s free you don’t even have to create an account and there are no ads.

  2. 3/5solid app, have some issues

    love the app, wish the times were actually able to be accurate up the the second, and that changes to the transportation route, timetable, arrival, and so on, due to any reason, and what that reason is, would be accurately and reliably recorded and presented to me as a free user. Also, the GPS tracking is a bit iffy, and a shortcut to zero a user in on the bus stop closest to them, based on physical proximity and distance, and ease of access, would be the best thing this app lacks, if i could have any features i can dream up, of course. much love. when will there be support for the far south regions and far north regions of puget sound, east wa, oregon, and idaho? and when will we be able to get ferries and bus tickets in app?

  3. 4/5A few too many minutes off

    One bus away used to be almost 100% accurate. It’s over the last six months to a year that it has faltered. It will show a bus being a couple of minutes away and then a few minutes later, show that it has passed by 2 min ago. Ghosts!!! As well, it seems to be 2-4 min min off, no thanks.
