This is the first review I’ve ever written because I am so sick of this app not functioning. I have defended it when it actually somewhat worked in the past but now that it doesn’t get past the loading screen I’m fed up. Missed multiple busses because of this. Don’t expect students to get to class on time if they can’t rely on public transport. The tuition we pay should be able to cover such a small necessity when you can’t rely on the written, physical schedules posted at each stop.

The recently updated app is better than nothing, but it takes a long time to load & doesn’t offer a consistent or reliable view of updated times. I try to plan ahead when getting to & from work, but this app makes planning ahead difficult. I’m glad I have a paper schedule. Two things I miss : 1) The real-time information, where you could see where your bus was on the rout seems to have disappeared, & 2) only the very next time for a stop on a route will reliably display (sometimes you may see two times if you’re lucky), so if you know you’re going to miss your bus it’s hard to tell when the next one will be along without waiting for new times to load.

Ever since the update on this app it's been terrible for all the reasons already said in other reviews. I think the worst part is that the team who runs the app hasn't made it any better in the year since the update was put out. It worked great the old way, I don't know why they updated it in the first place.
