It provides reliable live transit information and allows advanced route planning like searching for extra stops. However, users report inconsistent bus timing data, update-related issues that reset presets, and uneven reliability by area. Overall, it’s a valuable navigation tool with room for improvement in data consistency and update stability. ### Pros - Very helpful and easy to use for navigation across cities, trains, and travel. - Strong accessibility features, including step-by-step directions for independent use. - Reliable live transit information, often superior to competitors like Google Maps. - Comprehensive routing with features like searching along the route for extra stops. - Proven usefulness across multiple cities (e.g., Paris, London, Singapore) and real-world problems solved. ### Cons - Inaccurate or inconsistent bus arrival times and occasional data glitches (e.g., bus data disappearing). - Update-related bugs that can wipe presets or disrupt settings after updates. - Overall reliability can be inconsistent across different areas. ## Similar extensions and apps - [Transit - Subway & Bus Times](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.thetransitapp.droid) — 23,624,548 users, 4.60 / 5 - [City Rider: Subway & Bus Times](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cityrider.app) — 4 users - [Moovit: Your Transit Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.tranzmate) — 208,126,996 users, 3.81 / 5 - [Routees.
