Caltrain Customer Insights

1. It doesn't have good schedule information or trip planning but CaltrainDroid already has that covered.Thought I was buying a ticket in advance for when I needed it.

2. Can be improved: couple times after the purchase was complete, it didn't show, so I tried to buy a new ticket when the original purchase was already approved.Does not work at times.

3. Rather than storing the ticket for use the ticket became active right away for a 4 hour window when the trip I wanted doesn't even run.

4. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't work.Unlike Clipper, you can buy a ticket instantly, don't have to tag off, and can't accidentally tap twice.

5. But nothing happens in this Caltrain by Moovel app.In its current iteration, makes purchasing tickets and parking passes easy (no hassle of tagging on/off with clipper card).

6. Positive: I love that I can buy the ticket when boarding and don't have to remember to tag out with clipper card after the trip ends.

7. The five star rating mostly reflects how utterly awful Clipper is, but this app's ticket purchasing is convenient and well designed.

8. Also app is reliable or in other words does not crash so you can trust it for you go to daily commute.Doesn't work.

9. When I sometimes do get passed that, it's impossible to buy a ticket because there is an error every time I try to check out.

10. Also being able to purchase the ticket mobilly relieves stress when you are running late or forget to tag off.

11. Purchases are also laggy with no progress indication - I can see how this can lead to duplicate ticket purchases as others reviewers mentioned.
