Easy BART

The app had a great run, and I used it without issue for many years. Alas, the Easy Bart app has finally been deprecated, it appears that both the “schedule trip” feature and the “real time departure” feature are not working. I just showed up to a Bart station, and this app said a train was departing, but there wasn’t one, and upon checking the Bart website, the train had been cancelled. Goodbye easy Bart app, you will be missed! UPDATE! - even though the real-time departures don’t work anymore and they haven’t added the new San Jose station, I find myself still using the app because the map feature is so clutch. Solid app, I hope they update it!

This app used to be very dependable and deserving 5 stars in my opinion. However, for the last couple months or so, it has been woefully unreliable. The real-time departure info is THE reason I got this app, but that info has become unreliable. For example, during this morning’s commute from Concord to SF, the app indicated my train was 5 minutes away when it was actually about 2. When I got on the train (after running after seeing it coming, I might add), the app said it was still 3 minutes away. Please fix. Or, I will certainly look for an alternative.

If you’re a Bart rider you need this app. It’s always up to date and the real time departures are on point. I love how it calculates fares and lays out the route you need to take if there’s transfers. And it couldn’t be easier to use. Very user friendly. If I could rate it 6 stars I would.
