Comments
- Not sure what one of the reviews means about paying - I've downloaded the free version and use this all the time. Brilliant knowing when the bus will arrive - dont have to wait in the cold! Reminders are pretty cool too - let you know if you can have that last drink when you are out or make a dash for the last bus! pretty easy to use - love it.

- Have rated highly for the potential - finally a decent bus app! Works quite well currently, and looking forward to the fine tuning...

- It is a great app that can be really handy when you need to use it, however it has the right bus timings and its also easy to use.
