1. The Transit Go Ticket App allows riders to buy bus, rail and water taxi tickets using their mobile device.
2. No more worries about carrying cash for transit fare, Transit Go Ticket is good on King County Metro Buses, Sound Transit Express Bus, Light Rail and Sounder, King County Water Taxi, Seattle Streetcar and Kitsap Transit routed buses and fast ferry.
1. Unfortunately I can't seem to get a ticket ready in time to present it to the driver as I'm boarding, because it keeps telling me I need to "redownload" my tickets to use them even tho I am connected to data.
2. But it's not much use if it takes longer to load my purchased ticket for visable verification, than it does for you bus to drive down the street and stop on front of you.
3. The app itself seems to work OK, but it is not intuitive at all.While it's convenient to buy and use metro and and sound transit tickets without using cash or having to refill your metro card, this app is very buggy.
4. Then slowly reload the ticket from the in-use page.There needs to be more practical information about how to use this app if you seriously intend for infrequent transit users and out-of-towners to use it.
5. If you redeem points for tickets, and then use the menu to navigate to your stored tickets instead of clicking the "view tickets" button, you won't get a ticket.
6. And if you switch between apps but leave your active ticket up and let it run in the background, when you go back yo it it'll refresh the app and you'll have to wait for everything to reload.
7. It would also be nice if it explained somewhere that you may be asked to tap your ticket when you show it to the bus driver so that the background color changes, verifying that the ticket is real/valid.
8. The app developers should try being the dude trying to board a bus while this thing loads super slow, asks you to leave feed back, and the loads slow again.
9. Convenient concept, needs work!I would love to give this application a 5 star review but there are a few things that need to be implemented.
10. Embarrassing for the home of Amazon and MS to not have passable tech.First, I'm really thankful Metro makes this option available - I commute exclusively by bus/bike and it's so handy to have this if I can't find my pass.
11. I have lost many, many points before I figured this out.Terrible. It's as slow to load a it is to renew your DL.
