I opened this app and did not like it immediately

Absur Khan Siam, 2024-11-01

It consistently defaults to the opposite bus stop, even when I'm at my stop (i.e. I'm at the northbound platform but the app places me at the southboundone), which creates problems. It's also regularly about one minute behind the buses' actual schedules, which leads to additional delays. Update: four years later and this issue remains.

J. David Barker, 2024-07-26

your update has removed links to surrounding bus stops which make it hard to find connecting buses or know where nearby bus stops are. also many bus stop numbers in ilsan are incorrect, so I can't find what buses are actually working since so many of the bus routes have not been removed or placed up. this app use to be great. but now there are too many problems. I am looking for a better app to replace.
