User Reviews

Overall, reviewers say TFI Go is not practical for visitors in Ireland. The app is cluttered with dozens of operators and routes, making it hard to know what to buy. Many routes aren’t available for purchase, and drivers often don’t recognize or accept online tickets. Activation and validity rules are unclear and sometimes conflicting. The app is slow, hard to navigate, and prone to glitches like duplicate charges or missing tickets. In short, it’s unreliable for most travelers, except perhaps for users who already know the exact route and operator.
Pros
  • It can work if you know the exact bus route and operator.
Cons
  • Not useful for tourists; not user-friendly for typical travelers.
  • Too many operators and routes to choose from; hard to know who runs what.
  • Tickets often not accepted by bus drivers; drivers may not recognize the app.
  • Activation/validity rules are unclear and sometimes conflicting.
  • The app is slow, hard to navigate, and prone to glitches (duplicate charges, missing tickets).

We had a very disappointing experience with both the app and the bus service in Cork. The app is poorly designed, difficult to navigate, and not user-friendly at all. It was confusing not only to locate where we want to go, to figure out how to buy a ticket in the first place, but even access tickets that had already been purchased. We spent around 15 minutes trying to find the approximate location, and figure out how to find the operator name, which was missing in the list. To make matters worse, the 208 bus route was missing from the list, making it even more difficult to use the app properly. When we asked the bus driver for help locating our purchased ticket, he was extremely rude and unhelpful. Rather than assisting us with an issue caused by the app, he insisted that we buy another ticket. We ended up paying twice because of a problem that was not our fault. A ticketing app should be simple and reliable, and staff should be willing to help passengers when issues arise. Unfortunately, neither the app nor the customer service met even basic expectations. I hope significant improvements are made to the app's functionality and that drivers receive better customer service training.
