MyRide Broward 4+

The app works well sometimes, but a lot of times the data feed is down ( The service is currently unavailable...), and that’s quite frustrating when you’re on a route with infrequent bus service and long wait times, and it’s very hot and the sun is beating down on you, and you have to wait a 1/2 hour for a bus because you don’t know if it’s coming or not, EVEN THOUGH you DO have this app. I don’t know how often this app is updated, but I do know that the way it’s starting to perform has gotten to be quite unacceptable.

I’ve been using this app for a month or two now (I had it on my Google Pixel before) and it’s been great. Today something was up. I’m not sure if the bus stop (Pompano Beach by Michael’s) was moved, but the app told me it was right next to Michael’s, so I waited there, thinking the bus stop sign was past it for visibility purposes for the bus driver. So the bus stops at the stop before this one, and I wave at the bus driver. But apparently the sign was where the bus stop actually was, and it ended up passing me. Anyway, I’d had a feeling that the bus stop was next to Michael’s before, so I believe that the location of the stop just hasn’t been updated yet. I would like this resolved, for me, and for others who have no idea what happens with traffic in Broward. Thank you.

First of all, this should be integrated with the BCT ticketing app. Two apps to ride the bus should not be necessary.

This app sometimes works. It mostly does not work. It will navigate away from the bus route you're trying to get information on, the location services will sometimes put you at a different place than your actual location, and it sometimes will not load at all. I complained about real time arrival to BCT and they told me that because that route was on a detour that real time arrival wasn't available. So, in short, it doesn't work. It won't tell you if a bus has a detour either, and neither will the ticketing app - you have to sign up for email alerts to find out about service changes, and sometimes they don't even send those until after the fact. Anyway my recommendation is to move to a city where public transportation works.
