Hi, I have been a BMTC ITS app user, and I don't find this app adding any value to my daily commute to work and back. Many buses are not registered in the app. I have checked this personally. Unless the system is full-fledged and includes all buses, and the staff is educated enough to operate it (many buses have the equipment but that was dysfunctional for some reason) this is not going to help those keen on public transport. The data will not be great as many people would have got turned off by the non-helping nature of the app and the UI that's not very convenient to use. Feedback given to BMTC goes into a blackhole. I had high hopes on this app but it's such a turn off for me. - Shree
