User Reviews for Denver Transit • RTD Bus Times
Fine but very limited
It works fine, not buggy. It generally tells you when your next bus will be. The Plan Trip feature does not always include all buses departing from your initiating point going to your destination, so there might be a better route but the app won’t tell you about it. What I don’t like is that it does not have a feature to tell you when the standard departure times are for a particular route (it will tell you the standard stops). You have to go to the RTD website and pull up the route info to get the times. Overall not a good substitute for paper route booklets.
Easy fix for 5 stars
This app has the most infuriating shortcoming, and it’s a 30 minute developer fix. When searching light rail, you have to start with “Line” instead of the destination like “Ridgegate”. No one says “I’m going to take Line Ridgegate”. Literally no one. Change search logic to “contains” instead of “starts with”. It’s that simple. And then this app would be one of the best. I’ve brought this up to the developer inbox multiple times, it’s insane they’ve redone the UI and still haven’t fixed this one issue. If there’s a reason for this I’m missing, I’m all ears.
Data
I think you should make it so you don’t need data or WiFi to use this. My phone isn’t turned on and I need to take the buses and I have a hard time kwnoing where to go because it doesn’t keep up with me. I think this would be super beneficial for a lot of people. Obviously after awhile you’d get it down but for the first few trips it’s hard.
No way to contact & routing needs to be improved
Problem #1 is that their in-app “Send Feedback” page doesn’t allow you to submit your message, so there is no way to contact them without digging on the internet to try and find contact info.Proble #2: I wasted my time finding their website and typing out a message only to encounter another error with their contact form - HTTP 401 on their own form submission to their own site. If they can’t even maintain their basic website, I have no hopes for the app to be improved.Now, on to the app:The routing could use an refactor.For a trip from North Boulder to Union Station, a chosen route taking the 204 to FF2, why do you have the trip transfer at Broadway and 20th instead of the downtown boulder station?One reason to do this is to ensure that one can get on the FF2 with luggage or a bicycle. Another benefit is that when people board the FF2 at the station while the bus is just sitting idle is that the trip times will decrease with less people getting on the bus mid-route, decreasing dwell time.Making apps for public transportation should not just check a list of features, it should be tested and thought out to the actual experience. Otherwise it’s just another app in the App Store.
Terrible.
I am a student who use the light rail to commute daily. The times are always off, I find myself constantly trying to find the quickest way home, and trains are always late, arrive earlier than it is listed on the app, or they never arrive at all. I find myself constantly trying to rearrange plans for the day because the app is so inaccurate. I am currently waiting for a train which said it would arrive by 12:34, but I got to the correct station, and when I refreshed the page it said the train had actually arrived around 12:27. Fairly disappointed with this app, I will be better off finding a new method to rely on for my transportation.
Impressed
This is a great improvement over the past apps. It runs almost like the transit app. I like the bus numbers. Sometimes I still use the transit app because it gives all of the buses in the area and the times they are going to arrive. This helps me to decide which corner of the intersection to go to if I missed one bus. It would be nice to have instructions as how to do things for those who are not intuitive. The destinations of the buses and the bus numbers are very helpful. Sometimes it would be nice to have the buses GPS to be updated a little more frequently. The number of RTD apps is confusing when looking for the most up to date one.
I thought it was fake
When I first saw this app, I thought it would be fake and wouldn’t actually have live times of the light rail. Boy was I wrong! It’s completely live and tells you all of the times that each train or bus comes to your area, and the estimated amount of time that it will take to get to your destination. I have used it daily for my commute to school!
Functions 💯
If you are a college student without a car(or any person with a bus pass), then this app is a must have. I recently turned my car in because the lease had run out and this app has helped me get all across the city&state. I have childhood friends who live an 1.5hr drive away and my Father and Brother live about an 1hr away.**The Plan Trip feature is the way to go👌🏽 it walks you through every single step. You could be illiterate and still be capable of understanding the directions. All-in-all, it's made a positive effect in my life. I hope you take the leap and it can do the same for you! Cop an RTD pass and this app A$AP Rocky!
Useful only if you’re leaving now
It isn’t very easy to try to find today’s schedule for rides, just the one coming up next. I spent a few minutes poking around and still can’t find all the times that Skyride runs to the airport today. I can find every stop that the next run makes. But I can’t find the next run after that. Not to mention that the app is still tied to an iPhone size interface. On the iPad, there should be plenty of room to build a decent UI. The development team needs to find somebody who’s never use the app before, and watch them try to find data on it, to learn how non-developers think.
Difficult to actually find departure times from busy stations
Maybe I’m missing something but there is no way to look at individual departures from union station by specific line. I take the W line and it is difficult to discern when it will be leaving from union station. If I select the W line it only allows me to see what time it is getting to the Decatur federal station. It’s really aggravating to not be able to easily see when a train will be leaving from union station. And then when I tried to post this as feedback it would not allow me to submit, so now it’s a review.
