Bus Tickets

Can you please make it possible to purchase more than one ticket in a transaction at any one time please?
For example if my days journey required two single tickets (bearing in mind in my region return tickets are not available)
I used to be able to purchase the two tickets for the days travel in the one transaction.
However since the app has been “revamped” that is no longer the case. Now you can only buy one ticket at a time. So you have to do two individual transactions to purchase the tickets. I’m sure anyone will agree that this is an unnecessary inconvenience and I presume it is an oversight rather than a conscious decision to remove the ability to purchase more than one ticket at a time?
If someone could look into this point and reinstate the option? Then that would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

I boil with rage at the thought of this app

Absolute wind up, old app worked just fine. What makes me angry the most is the way the app won’t tell you what time the bus is actually coming. It will say certain bus is coming in 10 minutes which is late and then press on the specific bus and it will say it’s supposed to be there in 1 minute!? Why not do what you did on the old app and just cross out the time that it usually comes and replace it with the right time. I’m doing all sorts of calculations in my head to figure out when it’s going to come. Journey planner is complex and never gives me the quickest route. Buses never update or even load on the map.
Missed my bus the other day because the app didn’t update the times, went from 15 minutes to due and I watched the bus go past!! Last app was absolutely perfect and it’s been completely ruined by this.

Cancelled

I think the bus app would much more useful if it showed when services are cancelled or delayed similar to the Trainline app. There been several occasions where I’ve been left waiting at a bus stop over an hour with no information where or why the bus is not at the bus stop when it’s time is due in to the station. I think real time update or information when a bus is not going to be showing up would be much better than standing and waiting around. I think passengers can plan their journeys better if something like this was implemented into the app.

Worst App ever

Massive congratulations to Arriva, the last app was atrocious, this one is somehow even worse, a true feat of app engineering. Bus stops don’t appear, bus locations aren’t accurate, you have to restart the app several times to get basic bus information. Just seriously impressively bad.

Useless

Nonsense and doesn’t do what you want it to do ☠️ if the bus is late the app becomes useless. I can’t see the point of an app that doesn’t work. The developers should hide their heads in shame. I hope they wasn’t paid for this
