User reviews

Nothing more annoying than getting served an inescapable video ad 2 minutes long while you're trying to figure which bus to get on to... and it serves the ad BEFORE you can get any traveling data. Extremely annoying and defeats the purpose of the app. I understand you need to make money but not at the functional expense of the app

I consider going nowhere without consulting this app. Everything posted in real time. No more standing in bad weather, or stalled by uncertainty. I plan all my bus commute trips with this app...
