Metarove for Android
Latest update crashes when i select Service Alerts. Overlapping text seen when saved destinations are selected. EDIT: Fixed as advised on March 6, thanks.
Just walked through the rain only to see a local bus that was "7 minutes away" pull up at my stop. Total waste of time. Unreliable, just like Sydney buses. DELETED!
Always crashing
Has saved me, my job, my marriage several times already. Well, helped me get to a lot of different places on time when I ABSOLUTELY needed to be. So it's been great. Only 1 quibble so far; sometimes struggles to really get a good fix on location (even when in high accuracy mode).
Recent searches saved, given current location bus and train routes are all displayed, great UI...perfect! Some constructive criticism.. option for fastest/ shortest routes will be 5 star worthy and there are some text and icon overlaps
Quite a clever interface. neatly presenting alternatives around your trip time. -------- shame the data is almost always missing a route or two ( inconsistently is some days you see the bus you want other days you don't) ... this makes it virtually useless
This app is easy to use, with a slick interface that clearly shows the route on the map, with real-time status, and allows rapid changes in options and times etc. My only niggle is that it tends to pick simpler routes with minimal changes, even if there is a faster multi-leg or mixed transport route, as can be found on the Transport NSW trip planner website.
Guess it's nice to know that the last service failed to show up and the next one is running 12 minutes late...
Doesn't allow the option to choose other modes of transport. I want to be able to see bus instead of trains for instance. I can do this on the Opal Travel app.
Great intuitive options. Easy to use. Best Sydney transport app by far.
it's like Google maps with distance and transport labels. first time searching is a bit tedious, it'll then be saved for later. needs "arrived by" search option. rooted s4 mini 4.4.2 stock.
There's no option to choose the time of departure or time of arrival, you have to scroll through the results until you find the right one...
Quite a clever interface, neatly presenting alternatives around your trip time. --------- However, a few shortcomings: (i) often will miss a bus-route altogether (eg not show any bus#376 on a particular day). It's intermittent, so on other days it works fine. (ii) only shows alternative single bus trips (eg bus#377 vs bus#373 ) ... but sometimes trips can be composed of multiple bus rides. would be nice to see this as an enhancement in the next version. ---------- So far, for the alternatives that it does show, the estimated times have been spot on.
Its like the old trip planner where you put where you want to go and it shows you all options including walking to a different bus stop. I love how cleverly it uses your location with a ribbon at the bottom showing the next bus coming your way even if its not on your route. I also loved that it knew I was starting 2 more stops along then normal on my saved route and adjusted accordingly!!
Amazing app! Better than trip view!
Amazing!!
Stumbled across this app from the NSW transport website. Wanted an app that took into account distance walked along with public transport info. This app does that perfectly. Just like the old online NSW trip planner but much better. Well done and keep up the good work. More people should be using this app it's awesome.
This app has made finding which bus to catch much simpler. After entering your destination the app works out automatically which bus to catch and the nearest stop it departs from.

Was fantastic previously. Still pretty good. But, is it me or has the ability to change transport mode disappeared? I can't see how to do that anymore.
