Great garbage disposal app
By Nicky.kleess (PCMac user)
This app is essential when traveling by bus in New York. Compared to the service itself, this app will have 25 stars compared to 1 star for the service itself. Don't get me wrong, it has its perks, but the app service is very buggy. The app has five problems: there aren't enough buses, some buses are late or have a different schedule, they're never clean (seriously, one bus I rode smelled like someone's sphincter had exploded all over the floor! ), some drivers have serious attitude issues (this is rare but depends on the bus) and this service is way overpriced for what you get for it ($2.75 per ride really adds up over time). If you don't have the app, download it. The only problem I have is that sometimes the time for the bus is inaccurate and the distance is accurate, and sometimes the bus isn't marked on the map. Seriously, get this.

Essential for bus passengers in NYC
Author: tcs3600 (PCmac user)
This app shows you the distance and approximate arrival time at each bus stop. It's fast and accurate (except for some buses with broken GPS). The arrival time is adjusted to the road conditions. You can search for nearby stops, add them from the map or search by text and save your favorite stops. I use it daily and it has never crashed. There's room for improvement: bus stop names should indicate the direction of travel so you don't have to try and find what you're looking for. Also, I'm having the same issue as another reviewer: the map jumps when zoomed in.

He fixed it! Thanks
By Cowboyup351 (PC User)
Fixed in the last update - many thanks! So this is no longer valid (currently)... This app was great until it was updated (2 days ago). It removed previously saved favorites and allowed an iPhone to match locations to where they already were, or at least ones that are usable. Thank you very much!

First, the app works great when it works. This is important for commuting and common sense. However, there's an app's most popular excuse: "Check your internet connection" when it's clearly the app's fault (any other web app will work). The previous version of the app had a refresh button, which in this case I could press continuously. They removed it in this version. After seeing this message, not only am I unable to see where the bus is, I am also unable to refresh the screen to see my bus's progress. I've tried getting off the bus schedule and back on but to no avail. Also, I had saved my favorites in the previous app and after upgrading to the new version, all my favorites were deleted. I was looking forward to the new version because I thought it would fix a really annoying bug, but it ended up being even more unbearable.
