Great app. But be careful from GPS based bus time. The app gets it from transport agencies, so I've been missing buses and taking cabs because of them, not the app itself. I also use multiple apps to double-check schedules and arrival times.

Have you ever wanted to take control of your own OC Transpo experience, without Transit/Google Maps giving you some convoluted route that only makes sense to the algorithm? WELL NOW YOU CAN!! Bus Buddy is simply the best app I have ever found for OC Transpo! Lightweight, superfast, no bloated features, and YOU ARE IN CONTROL! Hint: To add your own notes/descriptions for each stop, or shortcut to the Google street view of a stop - just long-press on your stops in favorites!

Horrible. GPS RARELY works and even if it does work, if the bus is later than the scheduled time then it just indicated you missed it and stops tracking. How is that useful in any way? Isn't the point of GPS to show us where the bus is? Even if it's late? I have always hated this app because there seem to be random times when everything works great but then weeks of no GPS with buses showing up early or late or not at all. You'd think it would be better by now?

Wow this apl has gone downhill. Sometime atip will disappear from favorite or the gps will stop function saying the buss is close but not. I don't blame the development owner since oc transpo won't gove out the source data etc. but since August this app has gpne down hill. Sometimes I refresh the lain page bit if you go to the sub individually time slot the time gps is mest up or gone. I like the app because if buss is late it doesn't push it off. Edit: if time pass buss time sch gps stops tracking

Lately the app is wrong most of the time on gps arrival times, and has caused so many late days for me.

All used to be great. Now it fails to show stop times on the main favorite screen. App has become useless
