The best bus app I've used and I've used a few! It's pretty accurate with bus tracking which helps a lot. But can be late telling of delays. Sometimes you get the message, after you've been waiting half an hour at a bus stop, saying it was late leaving the original stop. Usually the app isn't showing tracking then. Journey planning isn't so good. I still rely on Google Maps for planning journeys involving more than one bus. But great app overall.

Good app overall, but it can be unreliable, especially with Live tracking. Sometimes it doesn't show how close the upcoming bus is, and in most cases the tracker is inaccurate. Despite that, the app does most things you need. You can get a digital ticket fairly easily, plan the journey ahead, and most importantly, see the bus routes in case if you need to figure which bus goes where.

App good on the whole, but times on app don't always match up to bus. I have made my way, several times, to my stop ( with time to spare ) only to find that the bus has 'disappeared', and I'm left waiting for the next one. Also, on occasion, some of the buses appear to be running without tracking, as they just 'appear' from nowhere, even though I have used tracking on the app.
