Surprised

Better then I expected.

C train app

Great to see this improvement. Way to go. Makes my life so much easier. Now lets bring the four car trains fast. Its really needed.

Yes!

Ive been waiting for this app my whole life!

Not as good as Google maps

The only feature that Google maps doesnt have that this is supposed to, is gps tracking of busses, and I cant seem to figure out how to do that, if it even actually does that. I dont see the point of this app.

Well done. Not shabby.

This was pretty well done, I wont lie. Im pretty impressed by its quality. Good job! Its an app that sums up everything. Even if real time is not perfect, I prefer to go by schedule times anyways. Well done. :)

Out of service

App will show a ride arriving when in fact its out service. Makes it hard to plan alternatives

Great Idea... But not accurate enough to be reliable

Have found the GPS location is inaccurate enough to not be useful. I watched as two buses pass my position while the app showed them several blocks away and behind schedule. The predicted time of arrival was so wrong that I thought I had missed my bus when in reality it was on time according to the published time table. I showed the bus driver that day and we had a good laugh. Which is odd that the app would put the bus ahead it should at least follow the 74000 text service time table... So while a great idea, without a much much higher degree of accuracy it is little more then a novelty app and not any more useful than any other transit app that I have tried. Disappointing.

My route has been missed

I live in Woodbine and the 56 runs to Anderson and to Southland. The app only shows the Southland route, so I regularly miss the Anderson bus estimating arrival. I would love this route to be added.

Not great

The real time GPS does not work. Busses were showing on map that were not there. Hopefully there will be future development for this app.

Awesome

I love this app. It makes riding the bus easy!

Pretty ok

Well first off it is pretty good lay out is awesome but i was a bit confused on the time frames and where to get off and on fro tansfering buses could you guys please inplement it for me and so many other people for the next up date

GPS not accurate

I wish I could watch the bus travel on the map in real time. The updates really dont help because, although it "renews" every 10 seconds the bus could be anywhere. Toronto has an an app the works really well. Take a look at their system.

Great App & Useful Customer Support

Really pleased to have this app on my phone! Being new to Calgary, this app is very useful. I had one minor question regarding how to view specific route info - I sent an email to customer support via the App - and a feedback email was quick to return to me and explained the answer in detail (they even used screen shots!). Quite impressed!

Annoying and inaccurate

Times are inaccurate, "tracks" buses which never show, Transit staff full of excuses- never use the app, belongs to a 3rd party and so on. Designed to annoy rather than help transit customers.

Dont tell me its real time if its not real time

Any improvement on yyc transit communication is a good thing, but if its not actually going to be real time, then dont tell me it is. If Im standing at a bus stop and the time for a realtime bus counts down to zero and then passes without the bus arriving, Im going to instantly disregard this apps "real time" capability because it obviously doesnt exist. Get it together Calgary Transit.

Not accurate real time

Got the app to see real time bus info but it is so off/unreliable that there really is no point in using it. The 62 bus (afternoon schedule) is a perfect example of this. Sometimes it gets it right, sometimes it not even close, sometimes no bus even comes. Im guessing either way. Why should I use the app then?

Route is not too accurate

Always suggested using bus route but in fact, c train route is much shorter and faster, need to improve on that

Perfect

The developers did a good job. Fast & realistic.

Not user friendly

Not even close to being accurate. Horrible app!

Useful and easy. Every city should have this

I think it is a brilliant application. An easy interface, has a really cool trip planner tool which is very helpful when it comes to find routes on the go. Every city in Canada and the World should implement this app.
