FLATLINE... difficult to read especially when different routes have very similar identifiers (eg D6X, D5X), alerts are often missing, updates seem to not match timer. I like the idea of more info but this app needs work and the info should be a glance and not a study.

worst ever. offline maps arent available offline (they werent installed with the app).. THEN app doesnt even open unless youre online, so even if you downloaded the offline maps on wifi, you cant check them. missed the last bus and had to walk home 0/100
