  1. 5/5Best Muni App (in my opinion)

    The GUI is easy to use and you can add all the bus lines. The lines are individually color coded and each stop is depicted with their own circle. It's pretty simplistic which I like, not too crowded. Really like this app over something like Google Maps. Additionally you can pin your stops too. btw the new icon and name is... not it honestly

  2. 4/5Great app! but…

    i personally love this app and have been using it for the last 5 years. i recommend this app to all my colleagues too. however, the app has been having this bug for the longest time on my device where it doesn’t display the times for the 7 Haight-Noriega Inbound to SF Transit Center. it just doesn’t do it. all other routes work but that one. it becomes a bit of an issue when that’s one of the routes that i depend on to move places and it’s just not available 🫠.

  3. 5/5Excellent Ap

    Does a nice job with routes and is fairly accurate with predicting bus or tram or car arrivals. Very helpful. Takes a little getting used to but effective and well done over all. Would like this combined with the ticketing app for easier toggling but small issue. Must have for our out towners trying to use the transportation system.

  4. 4/5Great! - but..

    I’ve used this app almost as long as I’ve lived in the city and it’s been nothing but reliable (for the most part, ha!). But I’ve recently realized that all the underground muni have been removed from the map and made the commute super UNreliable. :( They’re part of the muni system so not sure what happened and wish they’d fix the issue, but there hasn’t been an update in so long it seems pretty far fetched..

  5. 4/5Best App for Transit Times

    This is the best app I’ve found for timing when your bus or muni is arriving. I have noticed a glitch when there is construction (like the 2 month Forrest Hill tunnel project) and times aren’t available. When the regular muni is back in service times still aren’t available on the app. Simply deleting and reinstalling the app fixes this.
