Just a friendly heads up, but Go Transit is also the name of the regional transit system in Southern Ontario, Canada (originally named GO Transit for Government of Ontario Transit, as it started as a part of the Ontario Ministry of Transportation). Calling it out because your app looks cool, but with the direct overlap in name and product focus, it could lead to a future trademark dispute if your app takes off.

Yeah, I know. However, I white label all the applications, so the app ends up being called "Go Birmingham", "Go Steamboat", "Go Grand Rapids", etc... My users rarely actually find https://gotransitapp.com, and typically just search for City + transit on the app store.
