Customer support was not helping me resolve my issue. The ladies were not nice, not helpful at all just said the same thing. Still need assistance asap
No Disabled Passenger Ticket Option
I’ve been using the app for sometime now and there’s no payment option for people with disabilities. It’s 75 cent to ride the bus but the app will not give you an option and charge you a full 2 dollars. You’re better off just carrying money if you’re going to ride the bus.

Every single ride pass fails to scan
Every. Single. Time. Some bus drivers are not so understanding and will deny you entry even when you’ve just bought the ticket.
Doesn’t work when using Day Pass
It’s fine most of the time when using a single trip ticket, but I noticed that on day pass, around the fourth or fifth ride it just straight up wouldn’t work. Even if I get it to scan it would say “invalid ticket”. So, on basically any destination that takes three transfers it’s worthless. I thought the draw of the e-ticket was to save money on the $5 paper ticket, but I guess they didn’t really agree on that. I guess I have to keep killing trees on papers.
Invalid tickets
The app is slow to load tickets and often times shows my ticket as invalid causing drivers to be agitated.
Invalid ticket issue
The bus’ ticket QR scanner always reads my tickets as invalid despite me already purchasing it. Please fix this asap!
