Latest reviews of Traveline Scotland app for iPhone and iPad
But Not Perfect.
First class (no pun intended) app. Was able to plan a door-to-door route from south west Scotland to the north east. It even gives you walking directions between stops.
Overall the app is impressive with times and locations of local bus stops (relative to your location). However, the big minus is that when you click on the map for the route, all you see is a straight red line connecting the point of departure and destination; ie, it doesnt show you the bus route AT ALL. That cost me 45 minutes one time! It would be ideal if the app could also show you a map of Glasgow and map of all bus routes available; then you could click on one and it would tell you the stops and the times.
This app does NOT show all buses in Scotland. I live just outside of Stirling and and the app does not find any buses to travel into Stirling - its part of the national bus service that other apps have no problem finding.
