Review summary

TransitDB Vancouver is praised for offline access, fast loading, and a simple interface that makes quick arrival info easy, especially via the Favorites page. However, reviewers repeatedly report outdated or unreliable stop times, slow data updates, no map or destination/departure planning features, and limited Favorites organization, plus occasional bugs. Overall it’s useful for quick checks but reliability and missing features hinder longer trips.

Pros

Offline mode works well (offline support available)
Fast loading and quick access to arrival information
Easy-to-use, straightforward interface with no fluff
Accurate bus arrival times (noted by users)
Favorites provide at-a-glance information and quick stop search

Cons

Stop times and schedules are often outdated or inaccurate; updates are slow
Lack of map, route planning, and destination/departure time input
Data updates are infrequent; no live updates
Limited Favorites organization (no labeling or folders to separate routes)
Occasional bugs such as crashes when sending feedback

2026-06-22	Ar*****	comprehensive and informative. but you want 5 stars? here's how * live updates of "next buses here" info * partitioned favourites lists, one set for "leaving home", another for "leaving work", another for "post SkyTrain last leg"; user created, managed, in local storage only * running triangles for SkyTrain runs: Expo to Surrey, Expo to UniverCity, Millennium, Canada to Richmond, Canada to Airport -- not live updated, just the boilerplate that used to be in the printed schedules. that'll do
