Reply to comment by mrgrimwig in What’s the best public transit app? by fanosffloyd

After doing some tests, looks like city mapper for the win! It has the directions like google maps and the times line up perfectly with the metro app. Thanks!

Metro hero makes you put in the bus stop numbers (what?) Transit wasn’t giving me the best routes Metro app is only good for timing Google maps was good for everything but timing.

I didn’t know buses were part of Metro hero. Citymapper’s bus data seems to match Metro’s data

MetroHero's Metrobus support is primarily for commuters who regularly go to and from the same bus stops, hence the bus stop number requirement. For what it's worth, you can look up those numbers on buseta.wmata.com. It's also worth noting that our bus predictions may differ from WMATA's as we compute them ourselves.
