San Jose Transit App Reviews

Just updated the latest update (1/6). Now the app crashes & doesn't display any bus schedules...wassupwiththat! Please help!!!

Good app however I was hoping for a higher resolution for the offline maps. Even with zooming it is very hard to read the name of stations. I hope a future update would fix this issue.

So...if I know the route name and/or number, a potentially useful app. Going from point A to B? Good luck, and be sure you have enough of your favorite beverage and chips to offer some solace from the painful exhaustive search you'll need to make.

These guys have to fix this. The app used to work great. Not worth 2 bucks for an app that dosent work. Funny enough the free add supported version works fine.

Is this in military time ? Seems like more thinking

I'm now going to classify this app as garbage. Two updates since Jan and the app crashes immediately upon launch. Don't buy it. It was great but it's useless now. Zero stars.

Great app very useful, but I would like to see a trip planner added in a future update.

I must say thaf this app is extremely helpful for bus operators themselves! We have all routes centrally located with just a touch of a finger away!

I love this app! Does eveything I need. I usually already know where I am and what bus runs by me so a feature that picks up where I am located is nice, but superfluous! This app would transfer well to many cities public transit sys. I wish you well. Dublin Bus Ireland could do with you. Someone created one for it but not vey effective app, check it out. Thanks for creating this one.

Wow clearly no UX drainer was on stage for this app. Hard to read hard to use. Don't understand the info it does give me. Also not sure this is the apps fault or VTA's but the times listed in this app don't reflect reality in the slightest way. Do something cool with my .99 ok?

This app would be 5 stars if it could map out visually the VTA lines, like many of the SF MUNI apps. Still very dependable.

This app can only tell you route schedule information. It is useless if you want to know where to transfer, or if you are looking to get somewhere specific. Typing in an address will only get you a nearby stop, with no option finding out how to get there from where you are. Only good if you a very familiar with VTA routes already.

Used to work fine, but now useless as it crashes after it prompts for update. It works fine on the iPad, but not on the iPhone.

Finally an app for VTA buses! It's like having all the bus map/schedules in your pocket. I like that it shows the next available time for the location you pick. As another reviewer mentioned, having GPS integration that brought up selections based on your location would really be a useful feature, although I'm sure that would take a lot of work for the developer to create. I do however have a few minor ideas for improvement: - List the rail lines on top, or have an instant button that brings them up. If not, at least remove the need to enter a 900 number to bring them up as there are only three lines. - The app reads as "San Jo...ansit" on my iPhone as the label is a bit too long. How about just labeling it "SJ Transit" under the icon? Speaking of icons, the compass pointer wouldn't be my choice. I'd come up with an icon showing a bus and a LRV side by side since that's what this app is for. I look forward to watching this app develop. To date it's the only app showing VTA bus lines and I'm glad someone finally took on this task.

This app is simply a reproduction of VTA's website and their maps. It's good to have the info in an easily organized format but I would like more features, like using my location or entering my destination to help me find a route. Worth it for $1 to have the maps & timetables, though.

I use this often to detemine a bus route to use. I can't wait until VTA will push gps coordinates so that you know the exact location of a bus

please fix!!! it keeps crashing whenever it tries to update!

But ever since this new update it won't show me any stop times for my route I use. It keeps saying no trips found

My niece loves to ride on the bus/VTA and this app had been invaluable to me. It has a couple of bugs but nothing that exiting/reopening the app doesn't resolve. It's especially helpful on holidays when the schedules tend to vary. Thank you so much for making this app!

Its nice to have the bus schedules. If you could map your location vs the bus route it would be a lot better. For someone like me who uses buses infrequently it would be good to have the fares as well

I have used this app for some time and been very happy… I have had a few issues that that author fixed right away… This is a very good app for the price and for what you get. Thanks.

Love this app. It gets me though my day to day, though now it just crashes upon launch, please fix?

I use this app religiously!! Great app!!! I have saved a ton in gas $$ as this app makes it much less stressful taking vta lightrail. I can relax while getting to wk.

This is a very well-done app. You select the route # and it defaults to giving you the arrival time for the next bus at the nearest stop. You can look at the schedule for every stop on a route or just the major stops. It's actually easier to use than their web site.

The time schedules are useful and get updates. Aside from this, however, the app has languished and it does not appear that this app will see a redesign. I suggest VTA bus riders keep looking for another app with dedicated developers.

Glad to see so many welcome revisions. This was already a great app--easily worth the price. Would still love a better way to see express trains (901), but, I love the new map functionality.

Seems to have everything I need to plan my trip. I've had difficulty figuring out how to get around with VTA so this app is a big help

I use VTA regularly, and this app is my primary way of looking up bus times on my usual routes. If you know where you're going, and just need to look up the bus times for your route, this is perfect. It also avoids turning on the GPS, and all the other extraneous things the default Maps app does, making it a lot more stable.

I would just like to add, that this app should have the bus routes of each bus line. It would make it so much easier for all users who don't know them yet. If it would be possible to do that it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I've tried reinstalling the free version several times, and it continues to crash right after I run it. This used to be an awesome app, and it looks like the problem is in the code somewhere, and reinstalling isn't solving the problem.

For many reasons, we ride VTA. All the little paper schedules were tough to manage (I always had the wrong one) and harder to read (I am legally blind) but this app makes it all easier and I enjoy taking the bus more now. Knowing when it will be leaving, especially on a cold or rainy day, is wonderous. Look carefully at the schedules, and at the top of the pages, you will find buttons for weekdays, weekends, direction the bus is going, all there to choose, don't forget to do these steps to insure your accurate timetables. You will love this app!

As suggested, I wrote and email to the above address to no avail. Don't get this app right now. Crashes on all my devices. Wish I knew what device Richard6767 was using. Revisiting this write-up: I didn't give the developer enough time to respond. As soon as we started our email exchange, he was very responsive. The developer responded very quickly to my questions. Please read and follow the fix he gave me. It works very well, and now the app is stable and running. Here is the fix he gave me (and it works great!!): 1) Uninstall the application (Press and hold the icon until is jiggles and then press the red cross icon) 2) Reinstall from the appstore (You wont be charged again as you already purchased) 3) Run the app. The app should not crash now. The previous version is keeping some stale files in the system. So it is important that you remove the application completely.
