✔ Pros:

- Provides real-time bus arrival information for Boston MBTA buses

- Allows users to set up favorite bus lines and sort them by proximity

- Easy to use interface with information readily available on the first screen

- Helpful during rush hour and high-density bus routes

☹ Cons:

- Inaccurate bus arrival time estimates during low-density bus routes and non-rush hour times

- Does not show the location of buses on a map

- App sometimes refreshes to show a bus arriving in 1 minute when it is actually 10-15 minutes away

- Needs improvement in removing buses that have already passed from the list during busy times.

Largely unhelpful for buses

By aek22 (Pcmac user)

When buses are running frequently and the weather is good and the traffic isn’t bad, this app works fine enough for main bus routes, though I imagine that’s more a function of the probability of it being accurate give a higher density of buses. However, if it isn’t rush hour, this app is near useless for buses. I have spent 40 minutes at a bus stop that was perpetually 2-3 minutes away according to this app’s predictions. Also, unlike the Nextbus app, which is unfortunately no longer supported for Boston transportation, this app does not show you where the buses are on the map, so it’s impossible to make your own best guess. In short, the bus arrival time estimates are wildly unreliable and the app is only marginally useful.
Most useful app!

By La_Rêverie💤 (Pcmac user)

Thank you for this app! It makes commuting and get around planning much easier. I rely on this app heavily and without it , I would feel like I did back in 2007 waiting helplessly for a heavily delayed bus that is probably never going to come :). It’s like having a set of x Ray vision glasses for transit. So thank you! Can you fix the C line destination to read North Station instead of Lechmere? Times often don’t show up for this route and I think it’s because it’s keyed in incorrectly. Thank you for fixing the 66 bus to note Harvard the direction not Brookline. My 5 year old has learned to read schedules thanks fo this app by the way. He likes to tell everybody when all the buses are coming. Thanks again!
Fantastic... sometimes

By MBP008 (Pcmac user)

They need to do a better job during the busy times and when buses run back to back of taking the ones that are passing you by off the list. Also, there have been several times when the app has refreshed itself to “1 min” for buses that show up 10-15 minutes later, which then might also just drive by. On the weekends, buses tend to show up 1-2 minutes early and leave early as well, so be mindful of that. Otherwise, still the best app for Boston MBTA buses that I’ve found... open to trying new ones!
Best app for the MBTA

By seanhussey (Pcmac user)

Fantastic app! It lets me set up my favorite bus lines and show them as a list sorted by geographically closest to me at the time. And this is the first screen when you launch the app, which I need to stress the importance of. When I need to know when a bus is coming, I don’t want to fiddle with different buttons and screens. The info is right where I need it when I need it.
