Ratings and Reviews
Much improved over previous MyTranslink App, but further improvements needed
It would be helpful to have the ability to search or filter specific bus routes. For instance, at Queen Street Bus Station, while you can see all buses arriving and departing, there’s no option to select a particular platform or route, making it difficult to focus on the buses that are relevant to you.
A fresh start but…
Some feedback to start you off on Day 1 of this app’s release:
Home tab: Nearby Stops module is a map view, but it doesn’t let you resize the zoom view. This is ok when you are in a area with a few stops/services around you but practically useless in an area with heaps of stops/services (eg middle of the Queen St Mall) since all the markers basically are on top each other. Tapping the map takes you to a big map of course which you can zoom in to (with lag) but if i had the zoom level adjusted to my preference in the first place then i wouldn’t have to tap at all.
Plan tab: need a Clear All (or Reset) button to clear both the Start and Destination fields at the same time. It is mildly annoying to see my previous search terms in those fields when trying to work out where to go from and to
Other: Is there a way to mark a particular service/route as a favourite? I don’t mean a stop or a saved plan, but an actual bus number for instance. eg from a particular stop I might prefer taking bus ABC because it almost always has a seat for me at the time I catch it rather than bus XYZ which is almost always standing room only when it arrives at the same platform. In the old app I could choose to display only my saved favourite bus routes so I could easily see when my desired bus was coming without having to search for it specifically
Better than My Translink
This app is a vast improvement over the last one. That said, it could use some accessibility tweaks to make it easier for a blind person to understand and use, but it’s an excellent start and usable with a little patience.
