User Reviews

Users praise easy ticket purchases and basic schedule checks, but report recurring reliability and usability problems: notifications that don’t display content, outdated navigation, lack of integrated route/alert data, and occasional ticketing failures. Overall, the app can be excellent when it works, but reliability and information delivery need improvement.

Pros

Easy and convenient to purchase bus tickets
Easy to use / user-friendly interface
Ability to check schedules within the app
Overall positive sentiment and seamless experience when it works

Cons

Notifications do not reliably appear or show details when tapped
Outdated UX and awkward navigation make it hard to use
Schedules/route information not integrated or not updated in the app (often requires external sources)
Ticket purchasing/activation can fail or be unreliable
Partial region coverage or alerts not available for all areas (e.g., limited support for some regions)

Recent reviews

Academy is the worst bus company ever. Not only have they raised there prices every year. Where other bus companies have been able to keep the same prices. They have also taken away buses from routes. There is no reasoning to their madness. How do you continue to raise prices for such terrible services?
