Way over complicated
It really should be a much more simple.
Disappointing
When you select a station to see its times, it resets to 12th St in Oakland if you minimize (unfocus?) the app
Great & useful!
Great app for checking schedules/transit directions & essential for disabled folks; elevator push notifications are so important & useful!
make the map the central interaction point
I am a user that wants to see the map (show where trains are running in real time (if its hard let me click on the station i want to see). I really dont enjoy having to scroll through lists of station names (which i sometimes forget) - i never forget where i want to go on a map. this would be that much easier/faster to navigate.
Alerts needed
Love the real time departure information! It is very accurate. It would be great to see alerts on the same screen somehow. How can we understand an issue that will impact us shortly?
No warning before charge
Get charged $20 to pay $3.30 in parking. No refund mechanism. I’d rather just have my card linked instead of having this ewallet set up
System
How about a real time fully functional paying for fare system and dump Clipper.
Added an option for riders to manually select a station for the Tap and Go parking when location service is not available. Display credit card expiration date for user to differentiate between new versus old card. Included a BART Watch link under the 'More' section for easy access. Enhanced the display of advisory icon offering a clue to the rider when there is an advisory. We hope these updates improve your experience with the app. If you have any feedback or encounter any issues, please do not hesitate to let us know. Thanks for riding BART!
