Key features include an Advanced Trip Planner to choose your start and destination and see whether fixed-route buses or on-demand shuttles get you there fastest.

User Reviews

Reviews show that scheduling is easy and campus features are valued, but major recurring problems include reliability issues and missing notifications, a flawed routing algorithm causing long detours, unreliable ETAs and long waits, and confusing pickup/location data on campus. Improvements in reliability, routing logic, ETA accuracy, and campus pickup clarity are needed.

Pros

Easy to schedule rides.
Campus pickup location accuracy combined with the route-favorites feature improves usability.
Some users feel the app can reduce missed buses by enabling precise campus pickups.

Cons

App reliability issues: notifications do not appear and the app is unstable.
Poor routing algorithm leads to long, inefficient detours and frequent route changes.
Unreliable ETA and long, variable wait times (arrival times are pushed back repeatedly).
Confusing pickup points and inconsistent bus location data on campus (e.g., buses lingering at a location).
Requests for engineers to fix the routing algorithm and improve scheduling.

Recent reviews

It would make it so much easier and buses would be faster since we wouldn’t miss them.

Could you set up the schedule for Penn Bus North so that I can predict about what time they are coming? When I check the current locations of the buses, they often stay at 38th street for some while. Sometimes they stay very long and sometimes not that long. And they suddenly start moving, so sometimes I miss them when I check their locations on the app next time.
