Note: This app was created as part of a research project to investigate the reduction of greenhouse gases. The app collects anonymous usage data so that BT may better understand how passengers want to use the bus system. No identifying user information is collected, or stored by this app or any support services that it uses.
Also note that the app collects positional data even when running in the background. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
Reviews
Awful

More often than not, it doesn't work at all. It's amazing that a program with this much funding invests so little in its app.
Disappointing

Good effort but VT Transit remains the superior app since it includes the top 5 nearest stops, a live map of where each bus is, & actually shows where each stop is located when looking at bus routes. Will edit rating if all of this is added.
Almost perfect

Except the app crashes when I enter my home address on iPhone 4. Would otherwise do everything you could need....
I had high hopes it would be awesome.

I'm currently sitting at a bus stop, and the app says the closest bus stop to me is one down the street. All route times are currently blank. Searched for Torgersen Hall, the app can't find it.
Needs some tweaking

The initial launch is pretty slow which is a bit annoying, and everything was coming up with blanks until I entered my home addressed which caused it to crash when I submitted it, but it has everything I need. Be nice to have an indicator for the bus's location on the map too. With some more work though this could be really good.
NEEDS MAJOR TWEEKING

App won't load bus route and will not show the stops on the route. Also the closest stop will not load when pressed on. Please fix!!!!!
Nothing loads

All I get is a blank white page on every screen. Doesn't load searches and doesn't show any buses.
Barely Functional

App has a decent layout and good features, but most of the time bus times do not load.
Some flaws
..….---....
Route info doesn't display the next time for each stop, you have to click on the stop and it *sometimes* shows you the time. App will also freeze for about half a minute for no reason, even with strong internet connection. That isn't to say the app is bad, it gives you all the routes, but it can be improved.
