Comments on SBMTD BusTracker for Android

★★★★☆ A Google user · Aug 18, 2017

Glad to have. Most useful if you know bus stop numbers, in the front of Schedule Guide. No easy way to select ONLY 6, 11 on Hollister Old Town, and State between La Cumber and San Roque., elsewhere. Don't try to use at Transit Center (stop 4) because will be overwhelmed with data if you check box SHOW ALL ROUTES. Nowhere does app enlighten users that each route map uses It's own color code (see back of Schedule Guide).

Great App! Live tracking of the buses I ride every day! This will be a heavily used App for me and all SBMTD passengers that have this App. If you ride the bus here in Santa Barbara, why wouldn't you use this.

★★★★☆ Frances Key · Feb 11, 2022

Pretty good app, can save you, if you're in a major hurry and need transportation immediately. Check it out. Rate if you can. Thank you all!

★★☆☆☆ Charlotte Mountain · Oct 9, 2018

For some reason it doesn't always work. I have been waiting at a stop, the tracker shows the bus is coming in 5 minutes, then 5 minutes later the tracker says the bus has passed my stop, even though I was there the whole time and would have seen it if it had passed. Not sure why it does that, but there are obviously bugs that need to get fixed.

★★☆☆☆ Alex Polanski · Jul 29, 2019

Pretty much always wrong for the 24x. Most of the time it says there isn't even a single bus working the line?

★☆☆☆☆ Raul Martinez · May 20, 2023

The app is ok but a lot of the times it does not show where the buses are located. Also, the time differences are never accurate. Please fix.
