Good
Good app very useful
The old one was better
Never see something so clunky
infuriating but relied on
it keeps tracking other buses saying they’re my bus and then glitching and setting my bus back on the map by another 10 minutes why cant it just track the fricking bus i’ve been waiting half an hour and it’s told me the whole time “1 minute” “3 minutes” “2 minutes” oh no wait “20 minutes” PICK ONE. HOW HARD IS IT TO TRACK THE LOCATION OF A BUS? some people a) don’t have their license for various reasons b) can’t afford to drive or c) it’s much better for the environment, and a lot of us can rely pretty heavily on an app like this for live updates in case things veer off schedule. but for crying out loud FIX IT TRANSLINK.
Over hated
I like it ion know why people are so negative. it’s not the best sure but come on.
Rubbish
Absolutely rubbish, such a joke of an app
Buggy
The app is so buggy compared to the previous translink app, unsure as to why a new app needed to be replaced but things like the map feature (you can’t move around because it rebounds you to a set coordinate), locations have old names and haven’t been updated, overall needs a clean up
Why
I stood there and waved the bus but it just went past
Drops your trips
It’s close. GPS is clunky and busses will appear ahead of their location. If you’re on a trip and put your phone down TransLink will reset and lose your trip. Because you’re now mid trip it is really hard to find the route your on at the time you’re travelling it. Easy one star for an app that should be better.
Pretty good
Trip planner is unreliable and it doesn’t have many of the features of the last app. However, I like the ability to pin routes (even if it requires a time frame to work)
Decent
It’s ok
Upgrade????
Apparently the upgrade is not available in my region of this world. What on earth??? Brisbane??? And yet I can access it from the website. Who is responsible? I Hope they’re at least good looking!
So frustrating
I missed two eligible buses and was late to work today because the app told me to wait for a bus number that didn’t actually exist. I ended up making an assumption on a number that a lot of other people were using to get myself in to the city to work, no thanks for this app. Great use of tax-payer money guys.
Awful
Absolute joke! What were the developers doing instead of working on a better version? So user-unfriendly.
Worst app ever used
non reliable info. vehicle tracking is not live and most of the time incorrect. you stand and wait for a bus displayed as coming in x mins and then there's no bus coming leaving u wait for the next one (if that one comes). terrible user experience
Horrible
I was confused which bus to take home so I got this app to help me. It did the exact opposite. It lead me to the wrong bus stop, the bus doesn’t even go that route. How could this massive oversight have even occurred, never using this app again.
I avoid using the Translink app
I turn up at the train or bus station and read the timetable when I get there - this method is better than using the app.
So bad the staff at Roma Street even said not to use it
If I had to give -1 star I would. Horrible format. Confusing. Inaccurate. Seriously we can do much better than this to serve our community. Cheap and sad excuse for an app.
