Quicker and cheaper than using cash. Planning a trip was frustrating as hell. Google maps told us the stop and route number we required. Unable to get the app to match and confirm any details. Live tracking only works once the route has started. Setting up account was a pain. it kept refusing the sign up details, with no description of what was wrong. Topping up the first time and similar issues with loading the page to add a payment method.

worst app possible. Often resets everything when you click the specific bus. The line destination is shown as beginning and end of the route which is confusing. Can't see what way the bus goes unless to do x100 zoom in the line route and look for a little arrow. Very outdated. The layout is not user friendly. They need to find a better way to make it functional.

Better than no app, for sure but there are issues: 1) Route changes are not shown on the map (I waited ages at a bus stop, no bus arrived, later found out that this particular stop was decommissioned) and buses don't always follow the route shown on the map. 2) Difficult to explore route options when you're new to the area. 3) Auto topup doesn't work, I have it setup but found I ran out of credit when getting on the bus, now I check regularly and topup manually.
