User Reviews

Users praise the app for current train schedules and the convenience of mobile ticketing, but frequent complaints focus on rising fees and restrictive ticketing policies, reliability glitches, poor support, and privacy concerns. Overall it’s seen as a useful schedules/ticketing tool, yet pricing, reliability, and user-rights issues significantly hinder the experience.
Pros
  • Up-to-date train schedules and timing information.
  • Convenient in-app ticket purchasing.
  • Central hub for schedules and tickets on your phone.
Cons
  • High fees and surcharges with expiring or restrictive ticketing policies (predatory-feeling pricing).
  • Frequent instability: glitches, crashes, and issues purchasing tickets.
  • Poor customer support and refund processes (unhelpful or rude chat, slow responses).
  • Privacy and account-control concerns (inability to delete account, tracking of usage).
  • Interface/UI problems on certain devices or overall usability issues.

able to open app quickly. would prefer an icon on the phone to open the app rather than going through the Play Store to access the app.

I have no idea how to explain this: but the app stayed live in my hand as I boarded the train and added TWO WEEKDAY PASSES, $100. I tried clicking the refund button and it said I wasn't eligible, no email or phone to contact! this is 6x what I'm supposed to pay for a single ride with no one to help! I want my money back!!
