Just tried installing it on my commute in London. Didn't work - in fact it thought I was at the stop before the one I got on at (when I did have GPS) even when I was 5 or 6 stations further along on my journey. Then it spent the whole rest of the journey spamming me with notifications about the next departure time at the station I didn't get on at.
Wildly inaccurate even with GPS it seems.
Instant uninstall. Sorry.
- wtk 2y agoTheir website doesn't include London in the UK section (https://TRANSITAPP.COM/REGION https://TRANSITAPP.COM/REGION).
- andylynch 2y agoPretty sure that’s a mistake, they do elsewhere (https://transitapp.com/en/region/london/tfl https://transitapp.com/en/region/london/tfl ), and I’m using it ,right now. Not doing so would be astonishing given how many people use public transport here, and that TFL’s data is really, really open + easy to use.
- wtk 2y agoI checked twice in disbelief, but amongst many many places - London (UK) not being listed was surprising to me. I thought it's maybe some extra challenge of the oldest subway system.
- itsgrimetime 2y agoThat’s a bummer, I use it daily in SF and the tracker it has for upcoming buses/trains has always been super accurate, and the stop countdown is always dead on. It even tells me when I need to speed up my walking to make it to the next bus in case it’s running a little early.
- beejiu 2y agoCityMapper is probably the best app for London, although I can't recall how it behaves in deep tunnels. I think it may just use a timer to alert you when to get off.
- wffurr 2y agoYou could write to them and ask them to support London. Maybe they'll fly Etienne over and have him ride the whole system!
