Ratings and Reviews
Gives fares and timetables, not much else
This app is easy to use but unless you know the city well, its severely limited functionality renders it useless for any actual travel beyond calculating a fare or seeing the times of the next bus or ferry. For instance there are no maps -or links to Google-maps- to show the locations of bus-stops or stations, so the app's directions like "bus stop 103456 at Adam Smith Rd" are meaningless if you know know how to get there. Also if you're on a bus, you don't know when to get off as you can't identify the stop listed on the app from inside the bus.
In addition there is no Favourite function for commonly used routes, so you have to type them in every time you travel. Future upgrades might be better.
Can’t add Mastercard Debit Card
This is a great app and mainly does what it needs to do. However, try as I might (and I’ve tried numerous times over the past few months), I am unable to purchase Opal credit using the app. I enter my MasterCard Debit Card details and am told they are invalid. It’s a shame as everything else works well.
