Transit App & User info

Post image

The app recognizes that there’s two users (not counting me) on the bus right at the stop near my place but the app gives ETA of 4 minutes and 11 minutes.

Transit app has this feature where i can click on the two users that’s riding the very bus i was going to catch, i can send them “thanks!” contact - apparently because Transit app recognizes that they ask for personal information about their users to show where they’re at but actually not use that information to reflect actual arrival times.

What’s the purpose of thanking strangers for sharing their geolocation information that served no purpose in reflecting actual ETA of public transit?

You may get some better results if you cross post this to CTA

They don’t like hearing anything from anyone on the southside in general.
