BusBuddy Ottawa

great app

all the negative reviews are from about 4 years back all the ones i saw, as of now a days it works perfectly fine no problems

Doesn’t work

It is so bad now. Every time I save a route it removes every route I saved for that stop number. So I constantly have to search for routes and click save just to check the schedules.

(Followup from previous review:) The app is inconsistent with its accuracy of the bus'(GPS) timings at ANY time of day. Sometimes the GPS readings only shows up part of the day like only during the daytime not from evening onwards. Plus interface upgrade would be nice too because it's somewhat clunky to navigate.

The app seems to be very inconsistent about giving an accurate arrival time for the next bus when the one before it has been canceled. Specifically with the 61 Stittsville. My bus had been canceled and the app told me that according to the gps the next bus would only be arriving in half hour. It was about a 40 minute walk from the stop i was at to my destination so i decided to walk the rest of the way. As i was walking I would periodically check to see if the arrival time had changed and if should walk back but it kept giving me the same arrival. Which was very clearly not correct because I had only been walking for maybe ten minutes when 61 passed by me despite the fact that app had just told me the that the next still wasn’t going to arrive for another 20 minutes.

Bus Buddy works, but it has a lousy interface. The trip planner can be really stupid - like including a 1.5 km walk to the airport terminal from a bus 99 stop. It’s an airport, folks! People have baggage!!!! If you’re not from the area (um, airport), you might not realize that. GPS is of spotty usefulness. Needs work. Gets a 3 because it’s not so bad if you’re making simple trips downtown.

It keeps saying to ensure that my calendar is set to grégorien even though it is set to grégorien

This app is really buddy and have nonstop problems with it daily.

why does the app keep crashing bruh get it together
