i use transit in LA (where it's the default app for metro) and it has a huge glaring UX failure in that the departure times list at the bottom of the line details screen takes up at least a 1/3 of the screen, and when you want to see more of the map and try to push the list down, it closes the details screen. it's so frustrating, because i end up doing this 2-3 times per use, needlessly tapping back and forth. there's already a close button available so scroll to bottom to dismiss is wholly unnecessary. the departure times list wastes a ton of precious screen real estate as well - it could simply be a comma-delimited list on one line that could scroll sideways, and thus obviating the need for 1/3 of the screen for mostly whitespace.
i do like that the departure times are (slightly) more accurate because of the crowd-sourcing. however, the underlying data from metro is a mess, so they end up looking bad anyway because trains and buses still show up (or don't) unexpectedly due to metro's unreliable data.
