Version 4.5 focuses on improving the stability, accuracy, and overall reliability of existing app features. Riders should notice a smoother, more consistent experience across booking, trip details, and account management.
What improvements are included in version 4.5?
Required profile fields now enforce correctly at login: Agencies that mark specific profile fields as required will see this reliably applied — riders are prompted to complete these fields before continuing into the app.
Favourite locations are easier to tell apart: Saved favourite locations now display distinct icons in origin and destination pages, making them quicker to recognize when booking a trip.
Trip search returns more relevant results: Location autocomplete when planning a trip now more accurately reflects what riders are searching for.
Smoother login experience for Guest Mode agencies: For agencies with Guest Mode enabled, riders can now view trip options before being prompted to log in, rather than hitting a login step earlier in the flow.
More consistent address handling during booking: Improvements to how pickup and return trip addresses are selected and applied, ensuring the correct address is used throughout the booking process.
Improved accuracy for multi-zone trips: Riders travelling between service zones now reliably see the correct service options for their trip.
Stop names no longer duplicate in non-English languages: On the confirmation screen for stop-to-stop trips, stop names now display correctly instead of appearing twice, regardless of the app's selected language.
