The most important thing you want from a bus tracking app is to accurately tell you when buses will arrive at stops. Even for live view buses this app fails to do that. Was just forced to take an uber after the #8 failed to show up when the live view said it would. And often the app has errors when selecting a stop and getting the timetable.

Ive traveled internationally before, used 6 other transportation apps, and ive never experienced something with such horrible UI. Cant track your routes, buses and stops are confusing, cannot purchase individual tickets, hell the zone restrictions doesn’t even explain itself on the maps. Cannot see other bus stops when looking at routes, Genuinely couldn’t have a worse experience. Wasted so much time with how poorly designed this app is, i recommend you walk before downloading and attempting this. UPDATE: . It somehow actually got worse. Not only did the app route us to a bus stop that was not available because of construction, but the app doesnt notify you that the stop is unusable. And to make matters worse? The routes on the bus route signs were still on and active. And you think it doesnt get worse, yet they cannot even manage to keep the ‘bus stop not active’ on the bus stops as multiple stops were without this sign. Could not have had a worse experience, had to walk everything.
