DC Metro & Bus – Schedules 4+

Navigating dc

This app does have all the stuff it says it does but there is a lot of room for improvement. Some parts are buggy but five stars as it hasn’t been a big deal for me personally.

Hi there, we appreciate the kind words - thank you!

Typical government app not really what the consumer needs

Terrible for a first timer. Ask someone rather than use the app for information.
Make a link or button for first time users. Make a short list of what to do in layman’s terms.
A quick search line to input a train station that will then pop up on the map showing where that station is would be helpful.
A button to click “find me” which shows your phone location on a map and the closest station to you.
A map/directions feature to input a station and it will show you on the map with a route to that station.

No info on bus line to PotomacYards

The App has useful live time for trains at my Home station (Potomac Yards) but no info on my bus line (36A/B DASH) that serves it, so I still need another App for that, which makes this redundant. In fairness, my other App w/ great bus live updates for my hood is lousy on MetroRail interactive, real time data. So my search continues for the One App that will do it all for someone who lives near Potomac Yards in NoVA and goes in/out of DC. Bummer that this is not the One!
