Da Bus app retiring

Our take

As Da Bus app bids farewell, many on Oahu are left feeling disappointed and uncertain about the transition to the new Transit app. Users accustomed to the straightforward functionality of Da Bus are finding the change frustrating, especially when it comes to customizing their travel preferences. The inability to create favorites based on specific stops, along with the app's tendency to simplify options, has left seasoned riders seeking a more tailored experience. Instead of empowering users to explore all available routes, Transit feels more like a navigation tool for newcomers, which can be limiting for those already familiar with the bus system. Additionally, concerns about potential charges coming in April have many wondering if this change will truly enhance their travel experience.

Anyone on Oahu disappointed to see they’re getting rid of Da Bus app? I’m trying to learn how to use the new app Transit. But I’m disliking it so far. I can’t create favorites based on specific stops, just specific trips, and it just tells me every bus line near me going in both directions.

It seems to be aimed at people using it like they would Google Maps or if you’re not familiar with the lines and stops. But since I AM familiar with the stops already it’s frustrating to use and feels too simplified. I like to see all my options and make my own choices, not just go the way it tells me, ya know? Hoping I get the hang of it.

I’m also not 100% sure, but it looks they may start charging for it too in April??
