Should be called "Miss the Bus"
This app is horrible. 75% of the time, the times it tells me are inaccurate, off by a few minutes.
Most days, I'll be monitoring the app for bus times, looking ahead at buses coming in half an hour. Then, as it gets close, the times start changing wildly and I end up suddenly needed to run down the street to try to get a bus that said 5 minutes a minute ago but now says 1 minute.
And, most times, that bus is passing as I round the corner. Inevitably, I then end up with a 15 minute wait for the next one.
Horrible, inaccurate, and not dependable at all. If you rely on public transportation and live with a tight schedule (as I do with a new baby), skip this app.
It won't do you any favors.
