Don't waste your downloads. Can't accurately provide any useful info. Bus tracking for buses with GPS linked to the app are so unreliable that the bus can be shown as leaving a stop only for it to show up 10 minutes later. Trains show up as on time when there's works happening and stations are closed. No ability to show rail replacement buses. You'd be much better served by having an argument with train station staff, asking them to do the bare minimum of their jobs and providing a timetable

Does the basics. Could be better. Ideas: 1. When a journey is selected and you can see the map in the top half of the screen and the stops in the bottom half, allow the layout to stay the same and introduce the ability to scroll through the stops while still seeing the map in the top half 2. Temporarily "save" a journey as "the journey I am currently on" so you can use the rest of the app and still go back to the journey and view where your next stop is, what time the next connection is etc.

It's a good app. I use public transport every day and it works well for me. I have notifications turned off for almost all my apps so can't comment on how well they work but for figuring out if I need to run to the tram or where is the best place to change it's easy to use. I like being able to set all my frequent stops and routes as favourites that are easy to access on the homepage
