Would be nice if could show us routes and their calling at stops, and live view of where the bus is at and how long it would take to get to a destination stop. Something like tracking the bus whereabouts.

Really good app! It has information about bus disruptions, and has all bus stops and routes all in the app. The only thing that needs a bit of updating is the user interface; I feel like it needs a clean updated look and design, but overall one of the best bus apps on the store I've seen!
