Hey
Love the bus
Non-commercialized version worked
App stopped working. Had to delete and reinstall. Lost all the routes, stops, and organizations for tons of bike and bus rides. App was WAY better when non-commercialized and run by UW CSE.
Need 515
We need 515 in the morning please
Too hit and miss
Seems like the arrival times are wrong as often as they’re right.
Great
Great works every time
Schedule
App would not allow to scroll bus times and arrivals. Very small window to view.
good
it’s good, but sometimes the timing is incorrect which is annoying
Handy + Great reference
If you’re taking a bus somewhere, this app will give you necessary info to plan your trip. I couldn’t do without it.
Ignores in-app review preference
The reason I have turned off the “In-app Ratings & Reviews” preference is that I do not want an application interrupting my use with a modal pop-up to pathetically beg me for feedback. Just get out of the way.
Good for big bad for small
It works great in the pnw metro area as well as other large metro areas across the states but it doesn’t work in very small systems like ellensburg
It’s good
Literally the title
？？？
新版本咋看不了站点了？？日嫩娘
Good enough
I liked the previous version where one click took the view to the current location bus was at. This is confusing. It’ll do but not good not bad.
Great
It is great to know if the bus is going to show up and when
时间不准！
时间不准！
Good thing to have!
Very helpful for bus schedules and which bus to take!! Sometimes confusing.
Great!
Great!
This is useful
It’s a useful app 👍 that’s like that’s it
Best bus tracker ever
I don’t know why the city doesn’t partner with them, the interface is SO much better than what they have.
It works well
Use the app all the time and recommend it. Would like to have real time tracking of the particular bus I'm waiting for (just know how far away it is).
Coolio
This app is so Coolio and legit brochacho
Great app!
Timetables, live updates on busses and maps to show stops - what more do you need? Only issue I've seen so far is when you zoom the map out the stops don't always show, otherwise perfect!
Essential app in Seattle
Never use transit without it!
Great app for bus riders
Reliable and easy to use. Have been my favorite transit app
