No issues here

Worked great. Paid using Apple Pay for my light rail fare without any issues

heheheyyywhatsup

Mid.

There are zero in-app features aside from ticketing. All tools like the trip planner and bus schedules STILL direct you to the website years later. I do appreciate that I can buy a ticket with Apple Pay now, but even that is a little tedious when buying a ticket last minute. I can’t believe I’m giving 2 stars.. The bar is so low.
