Re: Rover - All Your SF Transit Options In One Place
#2This looks really well done. I've used a bunch of different transit apps in SF, and all of them are extremely awkward and hard to use.
I'm very hopeful I can use this app to replace nextmuni.com, which has always been slow and buggy for me.

#3I can't wait to give this a try... I've been weekend hacking on trying to improve on the NextMuni predictions, because they're just so consistently misleading/awful.

#4It would be nice if the linked page showed screenshots of the app.

#5I've been using this for the past month or so, and overall I think it's the best app for Muni. The interface is not anywhere near as slick as the Google Maps app for example, but for transit routing it feels much more functional.

#6It looks like they don't support BART yet. You should probably change the title so it's not false advertising for those of us who are eager for more apps that truly support all sf transit options.

Good point. You can try a live demo at roversf.com - let us know what you think!

Hey Garthex! Thanks for checking out our app - Rover does support BART (with real-time arrival data), try routing to SFO for example. Let me know if that doesn't work for you - we'll investigate if something is not looking right!

#9I've been using Rover on iPhone for a few months and it's great. Prior to Rover the best option was using both Google Maps (great routing, but no real-time schedules for SF transit) and Routesy/Nextmuni (real-time schedules, but no routing)-- two apps for every bus trip. Muni buses are more often late than not, so Rover is solving a real problem with just the walking+transit piece.
It also has InstantCab/Uber/Sidecar integration now so you can compare $ and time across options.
Combine that with driving+parking, bicycling, and personal calendar data, and it'd be the killer one-click transit app I've always wanted. Can't wait to see you all build this out!

Thanks for giving Rover a shot! Let me know if you have any feedback.
