Almost good
1. Its really irritating to me that when I have the app open in the background and I switch back to to it it automatically either zooms out to show me all the stations on the map or switch es to another station, especially when it chooses the station right in front of the one I want because of GPS inaccuracy or whatever.
2. People frequently ask me about when the last bus left when Im at stations that are close together or a station thats on several routes. Its be nice if the app shows that. It would also help during times the app cant provide time estimates for whatever reason (traffic, buses deviating of a route because of a temporary detour, etc).
3. I wish I could choose smaller time windows for "notify me". That would be very useful when Im on the bus and am not paying attention to get off at the station I want to. Current minimum I can choose right now is, five minutes, is too long for that.
4. Finding bus stations short names that are used in the text messaging service would be a lot easier if I could see those short names inside the app, maybe inside the balloon that pops up when a station is selected.
5. When theres a temporary detour (construction, road maintenance, accidents, roadblocks, etc) the app doesnt reflect that at all. That is very confusing and it also renders the time estimation feature useless. I understand that consistently updating the routes to show temporary detours may not be easy, so maybe when buses that are not empty consistently deviate off a route every time for a long while can help to automate that.
6. When the GPS tracker of a bus isnt working at least please show me its last known location or its whereabouts. This app is teaching me and other students so I think its safe to say sometimes it does have enough data to assist with affirming and updating the current location of buses.
