At the end of a trip (when the app identifies the end of a trip, and
asks for feedback), the buttons along the bottom are:

[Cancel trip] [Options] [Feedback]

...even when you have already arrived. Cancel trip no longer makes
sense in this context. Suggest the buttons change to be something like
this:

[Next trip] [Options] [Feedback]

Also, giving feedback should bring one to the same place that [Next
trip] would, since there's no point in giving feedback twice, right?

[Next trip] could bring someone to the 'home' screen with 'My Transit
Trip' and 'Transit schedule', as might submitting feedback.

This in general makes it easy to do two trips in a row, rather
than...I don't know, kill the app when one leg is done? I'm not sure
how it's supposed to be cleanly done now.?

Thank you very much for this suggestion, it is really helpful. We will
work with our developer to improve the UI.

Btw, I was looking through the user feedback, and noticed some of your
reports of bus arrivals from PATH2Go not match with actual arrivals.
Were those from VTA routes? Unfortunately for VTA we only have
real-time data for 522. All other VTA routes are static data only.
We do have realtime data from CalTrain, SamTrans, Muni and BART though.

We are still working with VTA to get the real-time data for rest of VTA
routes, and that might take a while, sorry for the inconvenience.

Liping,

Yep! All of the routes I've taken this week are VTA (bus and light
rail), so now I know we're going off of schedules. Next week (and
usually) I'll be doing Caltrain, so I'll get to see how the real time
does with it.

Thanks!
