Great app. Needs constant info updates

This is a great app which I use when travelling to new or familiar destinations by bus and train/metro. However it gets frustrating because platform numbers in train stations are often wrong and I have my recommended train many times because of that. Which during the recently many disrupted schedules results in a long waste of time. So please make an urgent revision to update these info and keep checking for updates.

It’s ok. Better than nothing

I only use this for busses. It’s good because it shows you the different bus routes you can take to get to your destination and the rough timings for each route. However the frustrating part for me is tracking where the bus is. It’s not real time. The location of the bus sometimes doesn’t update for a few minutes and when it does it’s location can jump significantly. Eg: I usually catch the bus at a certain time. It takes about a 5 minute walk to the bus stop so I can usually time it right when the bus is 6 minutes away. But one day I opened the app and the bus location was about 10 minutes away. So I thought I had time. It didn’t update for 5 minutes and when it finally did it was 3 minutes away and I wouldn’t have been able to get there in time. I just don’t get how Uber/uber eats and all these other apps can have real time tracking for but I can’t track a public bus

Initially it was ok. But lately it has been showing multiple error: - ghost bus (not late. Bus didnt even exist even when I wait 15 mins before and after the schedule) - incorrect time or train route. Imagine you need to get to a station, but then the train suggested by this app didnt even stop at that station. - bus location is not updated. I will always be suspicious when the app said “scheduled location”. - bus that was suggested to take suddenly missing from the arrival tab and the app suggested something else. This happened multiple times. Imagine that you thought you lost my 9 mins away bus coz the app said it’s not exist, decided to wait the next bus coming in 30 mins while you are getting coffee, and suddenly the bus passed by. I dont know... try something else.
