User Reviews

Most reviews focus on harsh fare policies and privacy concerns rather than usefulness. Frequent complaints include an $8 on-board surcharge, aggressive location tracking, and opaque pricing. Users also cite unreliable or incomplete train-tracking information and weak customer support. A minority find the app easy to navigate and helpful for tracking trains, but recurring issues appear across reviews, signaling a need for policy changes, transparency, and reliability improvements.

Pros

Easy to navigate interface and easy ticket purchasing
Provides train status/tracking information
Some users find the app useful for tracking trains despite other issues

Cons

On-board activation surcharge / $8 penalty for not activating before boarding
Frequent location tracking / privacy concerns
Pricing is opaque and inconsistent (no clear fare breakdown; charges differ from planned fares)
Inaccurate or missing train information (track numbers not shown or updated late)
Poor customer support / account issues and unresponsive help

Recent reviews

Be warned that you cannot share a ticket with anyone else from this app. Bought a ticket for my daughter and was unable to share it with her so she had to purchase another one on train. And couldn’t get a refund for my initial purchase either, because I had activated it already. Used countless other transportation apps and this is the only time I’ve had this issue. Pathetic money grab.

This app is easy to use and has a pleasant appearance. Everything loads easily. Things like the day pass ticket are well explained. It is very helpful that you can see a layout of the train. It’s also helpful that the full schedules are linked in the settings
