RideScout - Real-time transit and transportation options App Reviews

When Im running late, ridescout tells me when the bus is coming, and what other options (rideshare, bike rental, car rental) options there are if I miss the bus. The Cap Metro app can tell me what bus to take, but not how far away the current one is, and when the next one is. Really important to have that real time info quick at hand if youre lazy/disorganized like me.

All I want is an app to help me plan a trip using a bike and the metro. When I tried planning a trip this didnt give me a transit option and told me to either drive my own car or take a cab.

Please dont send unnecessary push notifications. This app does that. Only when I am expecting one should I get one, not push notifications telling me to use your app.

This app makes my commute so much less stressful! Wonderful app!

Loving the real time transit bus times update. This option lets me relax in my warm apartment a bit longer. No need to wait at a cold bus stop anymore. This option will be nice when its summer too. Its too hot in Texas. Thank you also for the bug fixes! There was bug that was bugging me. But I guess thats the nature of bugs. No longer seeing that issue. Thank you RideScout team!

The fact that it showcase so many options of travel around me is amazing

I am down right in love with this app! It will tell me all different ways to get to my destination and whats the cheapest!! I HEART Ridescout!!

Will use all the time. So cheesy and keeps me on track! Will use all the time

Great, great app. I swear they built this for me. I have bikeshare, zipcar, car2go, use the bus, metro, and taxis when I need them. RideScout literally has all of them and tells me where to find them + those little bits of info that help me decide what Im going to use on the fly. I also just moved to Austin without a car, which is hard since its a total highway city. RideScout has been great for using cap metro transit, especially since it has real-time. This is crucial since buses arent frequent AT ALL here. I also love being able to actually book my car2go in the app. I can attest to the fact that RideScout works great in DC and NYC. Such a fan!

As a NYC resident, RideScout provides an amazing resource. As a now former HopStop user, RideScout combines subway, cab, rideshare and bikeshare, walking, and personal driving, all in one app. Phenomenal idea!

I enjoy using RideScout when I travel to NYC and other cities but its also handy when Im exploring my (new) hometown. Its great for finding the least expensive transit as well as real-time bus schedules around town. Honestly wish I had thought of it.

Used to be so accurate... I guess its a bit like guessing the weather. Sometimes pretty close to right, other times way off and I stand in the cold for 10 minutes or more waiting for the supposed bus to appear.

This app was super helpful in getting around a new city! Especially when you dont understand traffic patterns or what the fastest way to get from point A to B is. Love the interface!

I had a terrible time getting the app to even download the first time. Once I got it up and running, I discovered it hasnt been updated for D.C.s new Silver Line. Also, the latest update wont load for me either, so this app is of no use to me right now.

I really like the idea and love that It utilizes bus, car, cartogo, deco bike, side car. I hope in the future they add lyft and uber. I havent used it yet but did a test checking a route I often take. It was spot on however it did not take into account the cartogo home area - if I didnt know I would have driven the car to my destination and then would have got stuck with a fee for the whole day because you cant park outside the home area unless its a stop over. But def a cool app.

Without these two, theres not a great selection of get there now tools, meaning you have to check multiple apps. Add uber and left and you have a pretty great guide to every city. In your hometown, this may be a better app for somebody who doesnt have a car, because it does support zip car.

Most of our addresses have dashes in them. This wouldnt recognize them. Its of no use to me. Deleted.

Will not let you in without a Facebook account. Who does that anyway?!

Nice new update from RideScout. I mostly use this app for real time bus arrivals and info about when the train/metro arrives. The new version has improved real time data and better visualization of my route. This app is great since it allows me to choose other transportation options when transit doesnt work for me (Im late, its raining, etc.). I also like using RideScout for bikeshare and CarShare since I use both car2go and Zipcar. I like the app improvements! Keep ‘em coming.

I discovered a few more transit options in my hometown that Im looking forward to trying soon- Ive lived in my city for 11 yrs but I feel like Im rediscovering it in a new way thanks to this app. Its nice to not drive as much because traffic has become an increasing problem. This gives me directions and all the available transportation modes I can take based on where I am now. Im learning how to be car-free!
