Comments on Ventra for Android

★★★★★ ThankingGOD Inadvance · Apr 7, 2026
I have had this app since I was a preteen, this is the best app ever some of the features include you get your $5 back once you register the card, and they send you a card with your name on it, I think I never got it, 😮‍💨 I never got the card but yeah what else can I say about this card you can add your money on your bus card through debit card. Its safe you can track buses you can track trains, and met it give you other solutions also .
★★★★☆ Theresa Diaz · Apr 24, 2026
Never had a problem this app works great but only reason I give it 4 stars is cuz you can't erase old cards you either don't have anymore or are expired. I have like 6 cards on there that I don't have and have no money on them and there's no way to delete them without calling customer service.
★☆☆☆☆ Krystal Glass · May 2, 2026
This app never works right. It constantly tells me I'm not connected to the internet and that it can't connect to the server. The tickets don't always load when you need to show them. Most recently, I tried to purchase a ticket and nothing happened when I clicked purchase. It just stayed stuck on the same screen. You're better off buying your tickets on the train than using this app.
★☆☆☆☆ Elisha Asher · May 28, 2026
DO NOT ADD YOUR VENTRA CARD TO GOOGLE WALLET. You will lose the basic functionality of being able to load it at stations, and ventra customer service will tell you to spend $10 minimum on a new card instead of helping in any way. If you want to tap on cta, just use your debit card.
