Trainsity Vancouver SkyTrain

The App allows users with no little to no knowledge about android app to use it. It has complete maps of the Vancouver Skytrain which really comes handy because they can be accessed even when used offline. The graphic user interface is good; good choice of background and font color, although some drop-down menus could have been labelled more effectively. The thing is though, it doesn't display the price of fairs and the estimates times from the boarding station to the destination are sometimes off. Also, it doesn't include helplines or link to Translink sites.

This app is useful for someone who is willing to know about the basic information of Vancouver sky train system like different sky train lines, maps of diffrent sky train lines, estimated time taken by a sky train from one station to another and google or street views of different sky train stations. But we expect a transit sky train app to provide functions like timings of different sky trains from one station to another, costs for tickets and passes inbetween different stations as well as trip planning.

A very nice app if you're in a pinch and looking for a rough estimate of how long it would take you to get to a certain station. Sadly, it gives you a estimated total time of travel and NOT when the next train arrives, as so many others have pointed out. The lack of this feature hampers it's overall usability, and the lack of a news page is hurts this as well. This is particularly important if the sky train system goes down, like during the summer of 2014 when the system was down for a couple of hours.

Very useful direction

While this app shows you the time it takes to get from station to station it doesn't show you what time the train leaves the station or what time it arrives at the station you want to go to.
