Complain
This new app does not working properly. The notification does not appear. And I cannot check whether the driver has artived or not. Please fix the problem
Please add notifications when the bus is here!
It would make it so much easier and buses would be faster since we wouldn’t miss them.
Drivers don’t seem to know where they’re going
New app is causing a lot of problems. Went in the bus, was driving around for 20-30 minutes, didn’t pick up anyone or drop anyone off, then went right back to where I was picked up to pick up a new passenger.
Penn Bus North Schedule
Could you set up the schedule for Penn Bus North so that I can predict about what time they are coming? When I check the current locations of the buses, they often stay at 38th street for some while. Sometimes they stay very long and sometimes not that long. And they suddenly start moving, so sometimes I miss them when I check their locations on the app next time.
Pick up locations
My first ride was simple to schedule. The only issue I ran into was not knowing where the pick up spot was. I was standing across from HUP and the shuttle was on the Gates side. I ended up running to the other side of the building.
A 10 min ride is now a mini Philly tour
Someone fix this app
Wait times have greatly increased with this new app
I have been riding the Penn shuttle five nights per week for over three months at the same time every night. While I like that the new app will pick me up at my exact location on campus and the ability to favorite my route is great, the wait times since the launching of the new app have gone from around 7 minutes to often more than twenty and sometimes even 40 minutes or more. The app gives an arrival time and then keeps pushing it back two and sometimes three times.
Terrible routine plan algorithm
Can’t Penn hire an engineer who actually knows algorithm?? The routine planning of this app is terrible. Wasting so much time every time.
Need an engineer who knows BASIC programming
The routes planning algorithm cause starvation every time I request a ride. Even when I am finally in a ride, my ride's route has changed so frequently to fit others' routes. And a 6 minutes ride turns into a 40 minutes trip! If you cannot figure out the algorithm, I am a CIS graduate student and I can do this for you in a minute. Just PLEASE solve this beginner algorithm problem!
