Discovered this app quite by accident a number of years ago, and after eyeing its competition, settled on this one to recommend to people.<p>It did exactly one thing well that I wanted: it looked at my current location and gave me ETAs for <i>all</i> of the nearby lines, MUNI, BART, whatever it was I might need. At the time I was mulling my own ideas about an app, more or less like this, but it dropped from my considerations once I discovered this app.<p>It's been a more consistent companion than my choice of web browsers, mail clients, search engines, note apps, operating systems or whatever, and I've pretty much never felt any need to actually replace it.<p>Some apps just do one thing and do it very well. Kudos to Transit app.
Functionally, the redesign is pretty badass. The gesture navigation is intuitive and well executed. They've placed the live bus locations in a more prominent position which is awesome.<p>Visually, I feel like the app is still in 2015. Lots of clashing colors, super heavy shadow and the new green search bar feels slapped on. These are opinions though :) .<p>Hats off to the team.
Doesn't mention Transit's widget which is its greatest feature. I love that I can get bus/train arrival times without opening an app. It automatically populates with the nearest bus lines and you can tap it to switch directions.
I used to <i>love</i> this app, but lately (~1 year) it's been buggy and not refreshing the bus schedule (SF) properly and giving me garbage info – which is worse than no info at all.
I'd love to read ideas for improving the design of Transportr, a FOSS public transport app for Android (<a href="https://github.com/grote/Transportr" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/grote/Transportr</a>)
Love the usability / intuitiveness of this app. My only qualm is that the drag down to go back isn't _always_ available.. for example, if I select a "Ford GoBike" location, I have to tap the "X" in the top right to go back, which is a bit of a reach on an iPhone. But that's pretty minor complaint.
