Is not working. Asking for account code....
Finally found the code on internet. It is 'bup' for Bethesda Urban Partnership. The app is not perfect, but the bus localization is very accurate.
But this app is REALLY week, like a pre-alpha release. Heck, when I open it, I get a world map and have to click down to Bethesda. Keep at it BUP, nice idea, not there yet.
One could think with extremely expensive traffic tickets that provide the revenue for BUP that BUP could provide an app that lets you know how long until the next circulator is. But hey, at least this lets us confirm that the buses sitting dark at the metro are in fact not moving at the metro.
Startup is awkward at best on a android version and sometimes impossible without restarting phone.
The app is a nice idea, poorly executed. First, there is the problem with the mystery Account Code that needs to be entered (it's BUP). Then, there is the problem that you have to manually select the route map every time you want to use the app (start the app, pull up the menu, select Routes, then check the nearly invisible box next to "BUP"). Finally, there is the annoyance that it won't let you use the phone's menu button - you have to select the menu icon on the map screen AND they have made the icon so small and pushed it so far to the left side that it's almost impossible to hit it with your finger. So, what should be a simple process of starting the app and looking at the route, becomes and five minute long exercise in frustration. It's faster to just walk and skip the bus. I wrote to BUP to complain about it, and they didn't bother to answer.
What a wonderful idea but why should there be a code page to begin with??
