What if I just want the schedule though? It's not unusual that I'm underground (perhaps getting off a subway train) and don't have connection.

- dumbmatter 9y agoSome buses don't have schedules, just an estimated frequency. Or some have schedules but don't stick to them with any reliability.
- kevmo314 9y agoNot providing schedules because some buses don't have them seems like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
- true_religion 9y agoThe bus schedule is available on the bus company website. The only thing that app gives over that is what the schedule is now.
- boondaburrah 9y agoYou clearly haven't ridden the buses in Boston.
- mbrameld 9y agoThen download the schedule from the web site?
- kevmo314 9y agoSo... like a PWA?
- boondaburrah 9y agoThere should be paper schedules available in the station.
- _Tev 9y agoThe online search takes into account all short term schedule modifications. Considering how many such changes occur on almost daily basis, you would be quickly complaining about data usage from all those schedule updates. Or you would frequently get wrong route. Either way, a lot of complexity / resources spent on something trivially solved by the original solution (webpage).
