SBS Transit

1.0.12 Bus route 5 still has many stations (about half) without any station name and location. It just says (null). Map seems to work when a station has a name. With the un-named sites you go to who knows where on the map. 1.0.11 The latest update added some severe - that is they disable the apps functionality - bugs. The map no longer will locate you position. Loc. Services Icon comes on but nothing changes. Routes missing names of the bus stops and missing those stops on the map. Route 5 and 403 are the ones I've looked at. Please go back to the prior version until these issues are fixed and it would be nice to have email link to report bugs to avoid using a review for this. It WAS a pretty good app that was quite useful, for me anyway, that with a little improvement would have been 5 stars.

Quite a good app, some rough points but I'm sure they'll get rounded off soon. However SBS/Comfort needs to open their minds and continue providing data to 3rd parties. Including bus arrival times in other apps (Transit@SG, GoThere etc.) makes it much more accessible and would increase ridership, increase the public profile of SBS and please thousands of users now made very unhappy by these apps recently being shutoff from bus data. This is the age of open APIs, mashups and a million apps, and SBS is missing the chance by being too closed with data APIs. Let your data be free, let others see what they can come with and everyone profits!

With this location-aware app, you can easily locate nearby bus stops and know how long until each bus is due to arrive and is very useful if you find yourself in an unfamiliar location. It is like having an advanced information system in your pocket. The bookmarks are useful if you take a bus to work every day. The app can alert you as to when you should leave your house to catch a particular bus service at a particular time of day and/or day(s) of week. Nice app.
