Comments on Here Comes the Bus for Android

★★★★★ Debra Christian · Sep 7, 2026
I wish they had this app in my hometown I know exactly when and what time my child is on the bus and off. You can track the bus route to your stop in real time. You will get an alert when the bus is in your neighborhood range and school range. Great for those who are always rushing at the bus stop. They send updates an hour in advance to prepare you on delays with the change of bus numbers. Gives me a peace of mind knowing that my child is off to school and home safely.
★☆☆☆☆ Alyce Rodriguez · Sep 11, 2026
This app is VERY inaccurate, irritable and beyond frustrating. When the app works it is wonderful to see the bus tracker. I had this app for 4 weeks, and it stopped working at the 2 weeks I've had it. Since the beginning it only worked in the mornings. Now it won't work AT ALL. Updating it and reinstalling it doesn't work. It keeps saying I have no network WHEN I DO. Not at ALL worth the download.
★☆☆☆☆ Jonathan C · Aug 24, 2026
Totally useless because it's so inaccurate. It will say the bus will be here at 3:15 pm but at 3:15, it will say it still hasn't picked the kids up from school! Eventually, the bus may get them here at 3:40. It never updates the estimated pickup or drop-off time based on the bus's location. It just tells you the same pickup and drop-off time every day, no matter what. It's no better than having no app, due to its inability to update its pickup & dropoff times based on its location.
