No Longer Works — Fails to Provide Bus Arrival Times
AlMcD7777

Used to work great. But as of July, 2021 has ceased to work on iPhones 10 or 11. Arrival times of next buses are no longer displayed. When you tap on a bus stop pin, all you get is an “Error Updating” flag. Went from an excellent app to a worthless app.


Not working

Doesn’t seem to work anymore. I keep getting errors saying I’m not in the SF area and the schedules won’t load.


Must have!

I use it everyday. Most accurate and simple of all the apps for bus. Bare bones, but the best if you already know which stop you need to check. I use google maps to figure out route and SF Next Bus to get this most accurate times


Not informative !!

Useless! Not informative at all, compare to others!!


Save time and don't miss your bus

This app saves you time and keeps you from missing the bus. So if you don't like standing around, this app is for you. In a few seconds it will show you how much time you have before the next bus at all the stops around you. The information comes from the bus system so it is accurate 99% of the time so it's much more accurate than googling it. This app is for people who know their routes because it is faster and more accurate than typing in a bunch of information and waiting to make a route map. If you need directions a map app is better. This is all about getting places smoothly without wasting lots of time. So I give it 5 stars.


Yay for not missing buses anymore!!

Let's me know at one tap when my bus is coming. Hasn't failed me yet - easy and simple!


Good basic usability, some improvements possible

I wanted to know if a bus would be arriving soon at a nearby bus stop. The app immediately showed me bus stops in my surrounding area, and tapping a stop showed me how many minutes til the next several buses would arrive. Bravo. Caveats (1) the data is sometimes funky: I kept refreshing, and the next arrival time stayed at 9 min for several minutes, went down to 8, went back up to 9, and then suddenly jumped to 0 when the bus was actually arriving. On the way back, everything was normal-- next bus was supposed to come in 3 minutes and it counted down as expected. (2) could use better graphic design. The arrival times are written much smaller than they need to be, and it took me a few seconds to convince myself that the digit(s) listed at the end of each line must be the number of minutes til arrival.


Love it!!!

Awesome app!!! I used to have some problems updating stops but dev responded and resolved the issue quickly!


Doesn't always work

It keeps saying there are No Nearby Buses for all stops, when I know for a fact there are plenty of nearby buses. Can't seem to keep up with MUNI rush hour


Great tool!

This app works fine for me. It shows the nearest stops and timetables for an hour or two in real time. I tried different apps and this one was the best. I paid $2.99 to remove ads.
