Finally tried the bus app I've been ignoring for a year...

I've been driving myself into downtown Nashville for 2 years now and always laughed at the bus app my coworker kept recommending. Figured it would be laggy and useless like most city transit stuff. Finally gave up last week after spending 45 minutes circling a lot near Fifth and Broad looking for parking that didn't exist. Downloaded the app out of pure frustration and it showed me a bus arriving in 6 minutes that dropped me two blocks from my office. The tracking was dead on, not a single delay. Now I'm sitting here wondering how much gas money I could've saved if I'd just swallowed my pride sooner. Has anyone else had a similar experience with a transit option they dismissed for way too long?

Wait, didn't that app have that feature the whole time you were ignoring it?

Oh my gosh, RIGHT? I did the SAME thing with a weather app. I had it for like six months complaining every day that it never showed me the hourly forecast. Then my friend grabbed my phone, poked this TINY little arrow in the corner, and BAM the whole hourly breakdown popped up. I felt SO dumb. It was literally right there the whole time, I just never thought to tap the one obvious button. Makes you wonder how many other things we're missing just because we don't poke around enough.
