## Description

TuRuta is a Chrome extension that helps plan public transport trips across Lima (beta cities Medellín, Arequipa, Santiago, Santa Cruz). It suggests the best route by distance, shows the transport to take, where to board and alight, and lists every stop to reach your destination as quickly as possible.

In beta, TuRuta also supports discovering new routes and navigating the chaos of busy networks, with more features coming in future beta releases.

## Review summary

Users generally praise TuRuta as a helpful navigation app for reaching destinations in Lima and a useful guide for choosing buses. However, repeated complaints about excessive, intrusive ads and outdated or unreliable route data dampen the experience. Some reviews report frequent 'path not found' errors and other navigation glitches that hinder planning. Overall, the app is valued for guidance and usefulness, but the ad-heavy model and data reliability issues significantly affect usability.

### Pros

- Highly regarded as a useful transit/navigation app.
- Helpful for new users learning how to move around Lima and which buses to take.

### Cons

- Ad-heavy experience with intrusive banners and frequent ads.
- Outdated or inaccurate route data.
- Navigation sometimes fails to find paths in Lima (path not found).
