Definitely works for me!

The app itself cant stop busses from being stopped behind garbage trucks or at rotating red lights. It only says how far away the bus is under normal circumstances. And its great at that. If you be reasonable about it, it should work for you too! This app has been a lifesaver for me. Minus one star because sometimes it doesnt show busses scheduled to come up if their GPS isnt turned on. But, that might be a bus GPS problem. I would also appreciate if a full schedule was available on the app so I could see it at a quick glance.

Huge time saver and convenient app

The app has saved me so much time and prevents me from waiting on a regular basis. I now always check the status before walking over to a stop.

Game changer for bus riders

Yeah every now and again the app messes up due to busses standing by but the fact is knowing when the busses are coming and going is absolutely awesome! And this is the best app in Boston hands down!

Bostons Best Bus App

Had some trepidation about choosing which app to use for timing my MBTA bus commute. Chose this one on a whim and have found it completely accurate to the minute. I have an iPhone-5 and ride the 43 bus from the South End to Downtown.

They need to make this for other places

I shouldnt have downloaded this !!! I live in upstate NEW YORK . No assistance whatsoever

Not accurate

This does not have accurate information. Dont waste your time.

Terrible, buy the MBTA App

Ive had this for about 2 weeks and its already been entirely wrong 3 or 4 times, terrible, terrible app
