Continued failed payments
ApplePay seems like it should work with this app but absolutely does not. I’ve had constant issues trying to use ApplePay, and just this morning I went to buy a ticket and got “payment failed wrong post code”. It’s not the wrong post code, and I did in fact get charged for the ticket but didn’t receive a ticket.
3rd review
This is my third review because the first two did not get published. None of the bus love tracking issues have been fixed. App says bus will arrive in 3mins then have to wait 12mins for it to actually show. The worst scenario when it says it will arrive in 2 mins and the bus already left…. Utterly useless
Good
Good
Great improvement
This version is a lot better than the previous one. Really needed a good update and they delivered.
It is now clearer when stops are either set down only or pick up only on any given service and favourite stops are easier to identify on timetables.
