Every part of the app is accessible with VoiceOver. It will give you the times for the next 3 busses for your closest line in either direction. You can also get times for near by routes. You can access a list of all the stops on a route, not just the main streets. You can see all the stop times on a particular run on a route. You can set an alert to remind you when to leave to catch the bus. You can set an alert telling you when your designated stop is coming up. You can have it read each stop along the route while you are on the bus. Here is a weird one though. If I had my phone in my pocket, I would just get an alert tone and 3 tones when my stop was coming up. If I had my phone in my hand, VoiceOver would read aloud each upcoming stop. It would be nice if this were a configurable option. </span><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'>If you use Uber, it will even tell you how far the nearest Uber is from you and you can request a ride with only 2 taps.
