Radar: Metro Vancouver Buses

Clear and effective, been using this app for years whenever I need to take transit

suggest to remove when you tab on “yourself” and a human balloon pops up which is useless IMO.

I use Radar every day, have for over two years, and I can’t say enough about how it fills a real gap in the information I need to plan my day. However, there are four functions I wish it had: - The ability to pin, say, three favourite routes to the lower header where the “Welcome to Radar” text currently is (saving a click and a search through the bookmarks list, which does not differentiate between routes & stops) - A map overlay of the route that a user has selected (preferably something like a similarly dual-coloured line for the N/W & S/E routes like the icons already show, but static) - Selection of multiple routes at a time to surface the interchanges that both service, if any (although I can guess a few reasons why this hasn’t been implemented) - A surfaced option for the zoom level setting when a user clicks the current location button (I have never once clicked that button to see where I am and not immediately zoomed out to see more context & incoming transit vehicle icons, which changes the interaction from a one-handed click to a two-handed pinch; my guess is that the default was selected as a trade-off for screen sizes and resolution, but that could easily be a choice that’s given to users) It doesn’t look like there’s a GitHub page for the app, otherwise I would have made these changes for myself & submitted a PR. Nonetheless, the app is immensely valuable to myself and I’m sure thousands of other people, and I’m very grateful that the dev keeps it updated for new versions!

Used to be a great app but now out of reate and shows busses that are not really there. Better off with google

For showing bus times, delays or early buses, this is THE app. It’s far superior to Translink or texting for bus times. A map helps and you can change between minutes the bus is due and actual time. That said, it fails a lot. In fact, for every few times I use it, it fails at least twice as much. Loading buses fails. At the top it says update failed or timed out. Annoying as heck. Mist of the time I close it and text bus info. If I need accuracy, I shut down my phone and open the app again. However, this is tedious and annoying. I wish they would just fix that glitch. It’s been there since the app came out. I’ve seen it through multiple phones as have others I’ve recommended it to.

For the most part, the app works well. I feel it would be easier to use if every time I open it, it defaults only to the area I am in and not see the whole lower mainland. Every time I open it to look for a stop, I need to shrink down to my location before I can find a bus stop. When a user opens the app, you either are using a saved stop or route so no problem there. Or, you are looking for stops near by. Change this and the user can save a lot of time when searching. Thanks for your follow up Andrew. I was not aware of the feature you described of one tap and the app will zoom into my current location. Thanks for that.

It’s been close to 5 months and still isn’t fixed. At this point the weather app is more accurate than this app. Better idea to just blindly guess when a bus is going to show up as you’d probably be closer to the truth. Stop using COVID as an excuse for something that happened half a year ago.

This was my go to app, but for months now it doesn't show you real-time information and has a warning that it was because the transit network was hacked. Surely it must be over now. Other apps don't have this issue

For some reason this app keeps saying it in not updated. Annoying!

Recently has been showing an error when tracking the buses. Please get it fixed ASAP Thanks
