    Well on the upside try and use the web version of the fair calculator on a mobile phone, it's nigh on impossible. But I agree with your points otherwise. Also could do with some form of speed improvement / caching around the fetching of routes and stops.

    It's grand. Sure why would you want favourites should know/remember the fare at that stage... It a simple design, which is great to get fast and easy access to the info.

    You'd only be saving yourself a second or two at best...

    Doesn't work for calculating any 'odd' runs - e.g. extended 61 120 or any 65 past blessington..

    Apps should be seamless. This has more seams than a suit made out of off cuts

    Three steps is seamless.

    1. Click fare
    2. Click route
    3. Search for route
    4. Select route
    5. Click direction
    6. Select direction
    7. Click stop
    8. Search for stop
    9. Select stop
    10. Click stop
    11. Search for stop
    12. Select stop
    It's 12 steps not 3 , it would be 3 if the information is pre populated such as
    [LIST=2]
    [*]Click fare
    [*]Search for destination stop /Click favourite
    [*]Select destination stop/ Select favourite
    [/LIST]
    There are a half a dozen other features which need to be polished too

    However we clearly aren't going to agree on this

    Seems like a FAIR way to calculate the FARE.



    See what I did there?
