Pantograph - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

Pantograph gives you insights into your travels—and the whole transit system—like no app before it. Every active bus, train, ferry, and streetcar from supported agencies is visible on one map, empowering you with information only before seen by dispatchers. Plus, when you know your stop, see realtime departure estimates for every route arriving.

Pantograph is named after the part of an electric train that connects it to the overhead electrical wire—just likes it connects you vital information about the transit network.

Key features:
• Identify at a glance areas where vehicles across all routes are getting delayed.
• View statistics for all vehicles on the map, including how many are on-time, running later than usual, currently serving each route, and more.
• View current vehicle passenger load and capacity (supported agencies only).
• See route and stop schedules with realtime updates based on current conditions, and save favorite stops for later.
• Customize what data is displayed on vehicle icons.
• See an up-to-the-minute report on how many trips are being missed each day.
• Add widgets showing the status of a selection of routes.
• Learn exactly which bus, train, or ferry is serving each trip, as well as its model information—helping you get a more enjoyable ride.
• View the full set of trips each vehicle will be serving today, as well as each trip's full stop schedule.
• Browse the daily timetables for each route, plus use an advanced Block Timeline to see vehicle schedules.
• Explore the full assignment history for every route and vehicle, helping you learn what routes get certain kinds of buses, track down the bus you left your headphones on, follow new additions to the fleet, and more.

With a Pantograph Pro subscription, you can also:
• Take advantage of a powerful filtering system, allowing you to show vehicles only on certain routes, from certain agencies, and more.
• See how "normal" a specific bus's current schedule delay is, gaining further insight on current system performance.
• Customize the app, such as changing the app icon to a variety of different color schemes, or controlling which buttons appear in the action bar.

Good

Good app but the app is always broken and takes weeks to get fixed

Dev suggestions

Do you mind making a live map no trial subscription and app for free and more

Not all agencies work.

The app description states Kitsap Transit is included, but that is not true.

Great app, but a couple of annoying bugs.

This app is absolutely fantastic and perfect for my needs as a transit enthusiast. It is consumer friendly, has a great UI, while also feeding me all the technical details such as block IDs and vehicle types. I noticed the app is really resource-intensive, which is understandable for an app that required graphics of this level. The only thing holding me from a 5-star review is a couple of bugs that I would REALLY like to be fixed. I recently got Pro and have been experiencing issues with Filters. Most times when I launch the app, there is a filter set for a set of lines, even though the setting to clear filters when app is quit is turned on. Thank you Panto team!

Great if the flaws aren’t important to you!

Basic functionality like removing a filter is not possible without paying for premium. UI/UX is kind of a disaster unless you pay.

Sometimes opening the app, no routes show so you have to re-launch

Other than that this app is great

Peace of mind!

I love this app! Most mornings when I catch the bus I’m running late. A quick check of Pantograph will tell me if I missed my bus or not. I think it’s very intuitive and easy to use.

Best transit agency system info app!

It’s a birds eye view of all the in-service buses and trains of many transit agencies with customizable icons that display the info you select, all tracked in real time. Search features, block schedules, stop time points. No other transit app comes close to offering the wealth of information made available here.

Much Better than Trip Planner and Maps But Still Not Perfect

This app is a great way to track your bus if you are a frequent bus rider because you can see exactly how early or late the bus is running. You can even toggle a color setting where blue is early, green is on time and red is late. Unfortunately you still cannot track Community Shuttles and DART vans.

So THAT’S where the bus is.

I loved the original web version of the transit tracker. This is nicely refined and responsive. Found the app’s announcement on the Seattle Transit Blog. Thanks for your work, Kona!
