User Reviews
Reviews are mostly negative, with recurring complaints about crashes, outages, access problems, and inaccurate or unavailable bus tracking. Alerts are often missing or delayed. Parents who have a better experience say the app’s tracking and proximity notifications help coordinate pickups and drop-offs, but many report that it works only intermittently.
Pros
- When functioning, bus tracking can help parents estimate pickup and drop-off times.
- Some users find proximity alerts useful for coordinating around the bus’s arrival.
- Several parents say the app has helped them monitor their children’s trips to and from school.
Cons
- Frequent crashes, server outages, and other interruptions make the app unreliable.
- Bus locations and arrival information are often missing, delayed, or inaccurate.
- Notifications and alerts are inconsistent or arrive too late to be useful.
- Some users have trouble logging in, accessing their account, or getting the app to load.
Recent reviews
This is honestly one of the worst bus apps I’ve ever used. The app is confusing, slow, and barely helpful when you actually need it. The buses are already small, so when one arrives, there is hardly any room for passengers. The bus also feels cramped and uncomfortable, and the app does a terrible job of giving useful updates. Overall, the experience is frustrating, and I would not recommend this app. 0 stars if possible.
