I used to use this app constantly, but now it doesn't work at all. Trip planning is impossible because the bar doesn't remember what you've input inside it. You can't get schedules or figure things out at all. Whoever updated this app has less technical skill than I do, and that's really bad, as I dont have any at all!

This revised app should have been compared to the previous version, before being released. This version shows lack of fore thought on the developer's part. The information in this edition, appears to have been provided by a person (or persons) who has NO knowledge of the importance of frustrated passengers making timely connections. Bus drivers only know of their routes, not knowing how the system is one integrated unit. Give us pre-planners a chance to use our computers to research. Thanks

Low-resolution raster images instead of proper dynamically-rendered maps. Tacky ads in an app that should be an official public service. Absolutely amateur app design that looks like it was created with some free online app generator. Instant uninstall from me, a daily bus/train commuter. Will return once they make something more professional.
