SBS Transit App Reviews

Absolute waste of memory on my phone. Hangs, location detection is terrible. A flawed flawed app. Stick to driving buses and leave developing apps to people who know what they are doing.

Many bus and bus stops now missing

A very well-designed app which is almost useless as it does not cover the SMRT buses or MRT (unlike Google Maps which shows all options). Developers need to coordinate with the other companies that serve Spore transit. You do it on the bus shelters, guys! We know you can do it online!

Quickness and stability is what Im looking for, and Im glad that Ive found it in this app!

Just saw the ad on the bus and downloaded this app immediately! Best ever bus app compared with the ones Im using. Looking forward a quicker and stabler version with new funtionalities.

I keep on geting timeout when I try to use the program. -------- I agree with another reviewer that comnent on tge exclusion of SMRT and MRT in this app. This shows the narrow mindeness of the management at SBS Transit, Delgro Comfort. They put their buiness above the need of their customers first. The app should facilitate Singaporean or vistors to go from one location to another. If they gave put that as goal of this app, then being the largest bus operator and taxi operator, they would get capture most if the users of this app. By crippling this app to only their own buses, they are doing the company and shareholders a disservice.

Refused to launch on my 3GS.

It would be good to have a "Favorites" function so I can put in the bus-stops I normally use. Now I have to scroll and look for my normal stops. Not so user-friendly.

If this app does a better job than 3rd party, then its great. But it crashes upon launch on my iPhone 4. Listen to the users and let others do what they do best, an app that delivers.

or Off(line)Road etc bcos it is absolutely crash-prone & buggy. Alternatively crash on Load, acquiring Nearby location, Refreshing arrival times. Cmon, get your act together.

Crash prone, long startup time and horrible design, with lots of popup prompts. Why on earth is a reminder timing a mandatory field for a bookmark? And now its reported you are blocking other (much better) 3rd party apps? At least revamp your app with a better one before you do that! And please allow your bookmarks to be sorted, if not manually according to users liking, at least automatically by name or distance.

This app really disappoints me!!! Its horrible!!!

crash very often

I dont see why SBS should monopolized the bus information. SBS is providing public transport service to Singaporean. It is public service! Though it is a listed company, it responsibility is no different from that of civil service. Now heed LHL call to be the humble servant, tell SBS to make the bus information available to ALL third parties applications. Competition is healthy, many of the apps are doing a better job in communicating the information to the public. As you can see from the IRIS rating here!

Quite a good app, some rough points but Im sure theyll get rounded off soon. However SBS/Comfort needs to open their minds and continue providing data to 3rd parties. Including bus arrival times in other apps (Transit@SG, GoThere etc.) makes it much more accessible and would increase ridership, increase the public profile of SBS and please thousands of users now made very unhappy by these apps recently being shutoff from bus data. This is the age of open APIs, mashups and a million apps, and SBS is missing the chance by being too closed with data APIs. Let your data be free, let others see what they can come with and everyone profits!

In comparison to TransGuide app this app is a complete disappointment. To start with the server for this app is always down during peak hours, well that does not mean that it works rest of the time. It is also very complicated when all a person wants to do is check when the next bus is arriving at the stop.They did some upgrade by adding on new features but guess what they dont pretty much serve the purpose. Also, this apps developers should read these reviews to make changes possible. Shame on you guys!

My first app review is dedicated to a shameless Singaporean company. Learn how to be a decent human being first, have an open mind, if you are keep grabing on something you thought that is big so tight, you are actually losing big time.

A poor replacement for third-party apps like SG Buses. Quite painful seeing someone reinvent the wheel out of misguided desire for data protection. We dont see airlines holding back route data from third-party book sites--their objective is to drive users to their buses and trains NOT their iPhone app!!! After all, the third-party apps did it for free and SBS is probably paying someone to do this. Quite clearly a case of a lack of financial prudence, to add to the lack of goodwill to passengers.

This app gives me a timeout often and far too many times give an inaccurate estimated timings. Strange how the third party apps were working so well but this app does not measure up. SBS needs to focus on its core competencies to providing a good transport system and leaves app development to the one who knows and does it well!

Slower than molasses, about as accurate as a blind man. If you cant build an app well yourselves, let others do it for you.
