Comments on Metro Transit for Android

★★★★☆ The END · Dec 14, 2024

Would be a good app if I decided to use it for transportation

★★★★★ Eddy Bell · Jan 21, 2023

This mobile app is fantastic a huge help for me, I've just moved to Minneapolis and didn't know what bus number and the available time for departure, Thanks Metro Transit and Google Play Store for such a huge helping hand with a lost newbie.

★★★★★ David · Sep 17, 2024

I really appreciate and enjoy riding Metro Transit. Thank you to all of these bus operators for what they do.

★★★★★ Parker Seaman · Feb 1, 2024

Would love to see more features added such as tap to pay, live status for train & bus location, and trip planning.

★☆☆☆☆ nek namirrem · Mar 4, 2025

This is the app I would code to end public transt_------±+ The first and primary function of this app should be an up to date live time tracker of public transit buses and trains. Instead, it seems to be just a way to purchase bus tickets/passes. You people realize you could front load the trip planning/ next trip functions and then OFFER to let someone pay for their trip with their phone afterward! And speaking of the next rip function redirects to a clunky website.

★☆☆☆☆ Arroyo Garcia-Torres · Mar 12, 2024

I rely on this app to show and store my tickets. Today the app isn't working, and I had a ticket in my account, but it wouldn't let me access it. I use this app to get home. Luckily I am a regular transit user and the bus drivers are amazing
