Vancouver Bus Tracker for Android
Inaccurate bus locations. Missed Bus. - Late 1 star
All the buses times ALWAYS wrong.
I'm not sure who developed this app. Was it Translink themselves? If so then 6 stars because who would think that a government funded agency could create software that works this well. Not just the app but the data feed that supports the app. Works almost perfectly whenever I use it. Now if only you could say the same thing for the C23 bus route.
some busses do not come at the time said on the app. If my bus was supposed to come at 2:20, and when it's 2:20 it says it'll be delayed by 7 minutes, I wait 7 minutes and then the bus doesn't come meaning I'm late for my appointment. Then I would call my mother to pick me up but by the time I hang up the bus completely passes me. Unbelievable.
When it works, it's a useful tool. But if I don't have a reliable internet connection, it just fails without telling you anything at all, no error message, no "I'm still trying to get it" animation, just an empty box wherever no information came.
Said 7 minutes. I wait. Refresh, 4 minutes. Refresh 1 minute. Wait 5 more. Refresh, sorry that bus is not running right now. Have to run home and drive, depriving wife and kids of their day out. Pull out as bus is going by. WTF! Refresh as bus stopped right in front of me, sorry that bus is not running. You owe me for gas and parking.
UPDATED: Good news - the crashing problem is gone. Bad news - so is the map from the search results screen. Restarting my phone, uninstalling & reinstalling the app do not bring the map back. Too bad, this would have been a very useful app if it works. I'll leave it uninstalled this time.
This app is always wrong with bus times almost 99% of the time ... only thing that works on this app are the Ads
I've just, for the 5th time, had this app tell me a bus was coming in 5 mins that ends up not showing up and now I'm stuck here for 30 minutes. Translink, get it together.
Innacurate, s*** interface. Would give half a star if I could.
I really like this app and would gladly give it 6 stars because it is very easy to use. You can quickly find a bus stop #, the arrival times of buses and you can see where a bus is on it's route. This app has all the features that a person needs and makes taking public transportation very easy.
Works well 80 percent of the time. The other 20 will either not work or worse help you miss your bus by showing locations that are out of date by a few minutes.
I had something similar on my old iPhone. It actually takes the buses in real time. Such a thing would be useful.
Thanks for making me late. Boy am I glad that I put my trust in this app. Unbelievably inaccurate and unreliable. The only reason I am giving you one star is because I am forced to.
This app is a piece of shiiitt it suck so bad it's never right and buses never show up fukkkkk uuu
The map would crash after 5 seconds. Tried reinstalling but the didn't help.
Bus routs change. New stops are added, so bus tracker needs to update.
Often I take the 129 and it get to 5 or 3 minutes to arrival, then jumps to the next bus time leaving me waiting half hour or more!
It totally sucks. It's just a bus schedule. No real time bus locations.
This app is fab has cut waiting time at the bus stop to a minimum and makes planning so much easier!
Very basic but it does what it is supposed to. It would be nice if it could show when the bus is coming as hh:mm, like 9:15 and 9:45, so I don't have to do the calculation in my head. I don't have any of the slowdown problems others are reporting, and the update still works for me.
This app is fairly accurate. For the bus I use it is usually a minute behind, but it is consistent so I've never missed my bus. One problem I have though is that the map stopped working a few weeks ago. I use to be able to see the bus location on the map, but now all I see is white space; no map, no bus, nothing I'm using the app on a Nexus 5
This app always breaks on holidays which are the times when I need to know I haven't missed a bus since my route to work changes on those days.
This app worked fine until they 'updated' it, now the buses wont load, terrible app, terrible ads
Seems to work freaking awesome !!!!
Widget! I would love to be able to see one or all of my favourite bus stops on my homescreen. I look at them daily and my phone is slow to open the app, click into the favourites section and then update the route. Please add a widget!
Initially worked perfectly. After a recent update the app crashes at least three times while using it, sometimes staying open long enough to see when my bus arrives. The time is at least accurate when I can see it, so it's got that going for it.
The crashing has been fixed for real, hooray! Except now the map is gone...
I use the app to plan my bus ride from Port Royal in Queensborough to 22nd ave stn. The App is horrible and the service is even worse. 2 things: 1. App itself:you cant refresh the list of buses and you have to simply start over again, the saved bus routes don't work and you have look up a certain stop every time you need it, not user friendly at all. 2. Service itself: the times shown are NOT accurate At ALL. It shows my bus is coming get at 85 but the bus comes and leaves at 842. This is not 1 minute diff
Basic but smoth
Crashes after only seconds of usage. 2 stars because it works long enough to get your info if you keep reloading the app enough times
Great and useful app, the only problem with it is, it drains the battery so fast!
Worked well at first but now it is wildly inconsistent and inaccurate, causing me to miss buses
Bad design. Transit App better. Bye bye Translink Bus Tracker forever.
It works as described, I have been using for 3 weeks and so far no errors or issues with the app
Put back the last refreshed timer.
Since the update it doesn't work at all, worked perfectly for months beforehand. If it isn't broken don't fix it idiots.
Miss the Time since last Refresh
It's great, so much better. I'm loving it so far, this is what it should have been

Glitch ridden app, not a good time. Had it for a total of 72hours, could do it
