This app is super helpful, because I can know whether I need to sprint to the bus stop or if I can take my time drawing smiley faces in the snow. Thing is, though, I accidentally used up all my data and I couldn't see when my bus was coming (for a month). So I just had to run and hope for the best. This app mostly only works with data/internet so make sure you keep your data!

I have been using this app for a while now and love it. It's always accurate in bus times. I highly recommend it for winnipeg bus riders! EDIT: Been using this since 2013, has been reinstalled on every new phone I get. If you ride the bus, you need this! EDIT: still using this in 2018, best thing out there in my opinion, and always right, even tells ya if the bus is early or late.

When it's working properly, it's great but it's not always reliable. Sometimes the arrival time shown in the app is synced with the bus, other times it's not. I've missed buses because the app says it's still 5 minutes away but then I see the bus drive by the stop. The app doesn't always refresh. When showing the schedule of a stop, sometimes it updates the time on it's own but sometimes I have to press the refresh button. Inconsistent. I would rate higher if this got fixed.

Hi Sean, thanks for the feedback. The schedules refresh every 20 seconds and you can do a manual refresh at anytime. Sometimes traffic, weather and congestion can causes buses to be earlier or later than predicted. I'd like to follow up with you about this. Please send me an email to get in touch. You can do so directly from within the app. Thanks!
