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schedule checks, but report recurring reliability and usability problems: notifications that don’t display content, outdated navigation, lack of integrated route/alert data, and occasional ticketing failures.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Outdated UX and awkward navigation make it hard to use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

The notification was is displayed and then gone. Check the service alert in application, no alerts. That issue has to be fixed.

It was the easiest and most convenient way to purchase a bus ticket. No hassles no problems.

It’s entirely annoying to navigate. To view updates you need to go to “directions” or the middle button first then you can view your account and other options. Notifications to phone don’t show up in the app or at least I can’t find it. And they should have the schedule updated in the app rather than open your phone browser to pull up the PDF. Needs re working.
