User Reviews

Many reviews cite major reliability problems in Ventra: payment/server errors blocking purchases, a frustrating UI with a hard-to-use purchase button, and unreliable transit timing data. Additional recurring pain points include poor customer service and challenging account access (login/password recovery). A few mentions praise the pass-purchase convenience, but the dominant sentiment is frustration and unreliability.
Pros
Cons
  • Frequent payment and purchase failures due to server errors or card declines
  • Purchase button is too small or placed too low, making it hard to press
  • Real-time transit times and schedules are unreliable or inaccurate
  • Poor customer service and slow response times
  • Login and password recovery issues creating account access problems

I have two transit cards on my account, I confirmed through my browser, but the app doesn’t show either one so I can’t add them to my Apple wallet

What in the actual four letter word is wrong with you people? You know by now that your app is not working with the iPhone because the purchase button is inaccessible, and yet you clearly ignore every single complaint about it, which happens to be every single 1 star complaint on here. Where is the money going when you’re too inept to fix something a teenage coder can fix in 5 minutes. Get off your lazy overpaid rear ends and fix this issue or I’ll get a class action lawsuit headed your way.

Took me forever to sign up. Then forever to use the machine at the el stop. Attendant totally unhelpful.
