It's pretty decent, but recently it's basically useless. When I'm riding the train, it doesn't let me select local or express routes. If I'm at an express station and I'm going to an express station, it forces the express line. Sometimes the express is delayed or cancelled so I'm actually on the local and messing up their tracking data. Also, it will jump to 3-4 departures after the current one so it will tell me "go in 50 minutes" for a bus that's arriving in 2 minutes.

This app works alright for the most part. The times it displays are a better match to the actual bus schedule compared to using Google Maps. Most of the time it tracks the bus in real time, but it occasionally doesn't work correctly. My main issue with this app is the GO bus tracking. You'll choose a bus and hit GO, and it'll start tracking it properly. However after a few minutes of proper tracking it always changes to the next bus coming after the one I'm supposed to be tracking.

I normally use mobile tap card but I was planning for a trip to a different city that uses Omnitrans bus lines and therefore this app. The app was difficult to navigate from the get go, it's overcomplicated and i couldn't set up my card info without a royal subscription because the bus line was too far from my current location.
