2. App Usage and Technical Requirements
2.1. Certain functions of the App (e.g., route planning and ticket purchasing) require an active internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data). The Service Provider cannot take responsibility for the App not working at full functionality if you do not have access to the internet or if your data limit is exhausted.

2.3. It is the Client's responsibility to keep their device and access to the App secure. We strongly recommend that you do not remove software restrictions imposed by the official operating system of your device (jailbreak or root). This could make your phone vulnerable to malware and compromise security features, resulting in the App not working properly or at all.
2.4. You are responsible for ensuring your device stays charged. If your device's battery runs out and you cannot turn it on to avail the service (including presenting a ticket for inspection), the Service Provider cannot accept responsibility for this.
2.5. Although we endeavor to ensure the timeliness and accuracy of information (e.g., transport schedules), we rely on data provided to us by third parties.
