Indispensable app for commuters

I use this app every day and couldnt get by without it!

Most accurate bus app

Better even than Google maps in terms of accuracy.

Pretty great

Works well.

Pretty accurate on most routes.

But not as good on the streetcars.

Price of OneBusAway

Excellent

Time saver

I love this app! Lets me know wether I need to hustle to the bus stop or if I can take my time.

Live this app.

If you live in Seattle, this is a must have.

Super helpful

I use this app 24/7 in the Seattle area. Its absolutely essential for newbies and college students without a car.

A Seattle Must

If you need to find your way around the greater Seattle area by public transit, this app is essential.

Something is off

App was great until the newest updates, but recently the estimated times have been way off.

Lately, not so good

Been becoming more inaccurate lately. Dont know whats changed, but its not working. Im reporting bad data daily.

Not accurate, doesnt even connect to the Internet

What a joke of an app.

Great App!

Always accurate, however I wish they would change the app icon to something better looking!!!

Phantom buses. Hit or Miss application

The application is often spot on but occasionally reports phantom busses. Example: I just stood at a bus stop for almost an hour waiting for any bus while this app tells me that multiple busses have come and gone. I have had this happen with both the 48 and 16 bus lines.

Often wrong

Sometimes it really works, but thats not that great if you are relying on it to make your work and life schedule work. Twice this week I have missed the 66 from 6th and olive NB in the afternoon because it left 3+ min earlier than the app listed. Today I see that the board at the stop lists a time that is 4 min earlier than the app claims. And if things are running behind, the app continually updates the "delayed by" and you end up sitting waiting for a bus that will be there in 6 minutes, and then 10 minutes later, its still 6 minutes behind until youve been there for 30.

A competitor can easily take over

Onebusaway used to be accurate but lost it. Bus will say its coming in five minutes but then all of a sudden itll say its coming in thirty minutes. Very unreliable now and another bus app can easily kill this app cause its so inaccurate now.

So helpful!

Im new to the bus system in Seattle and this app has made me feel like a transit pro. No complaints.

Totally inaccurate

No trace of any 522 bus line in the Seattle area.

Great app

I love this app made my life easier. I know exactly when my bus is coming. Save my time every day.

Good app, bad update

This app has always been great, but the latest update just shows the scheduled arrivals. Ive always loved how it shows me whether the bus is on time, late or early and it doesnt do that anymore. Please go back to that!
