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
Awful
Bus info isn’t live, app just glitches, tracking doesn’t work. Should go back to old app
Hard to Use
Bus tracking doesn’t work unless the bus is in the same street as I already am.
App is harder and more confusing to use than before.
You HAVE to know where the exact bus stops are you want to get on/off are, otherwise it’s impossible to plan your journey.
Keeps suggesting longer routes for journeys.
I was hoping this app would be a major improvement on the one before, it’s now somehow even WORSE.

Location NOT needed !!!
Stop pestering me to turn on location! I know where I AM, I just want to type that in and then where I want to go to ! Job done!
👍
Very good app
Logs you out randomly
It has logged me out randomly 3 times, and you don’t notice until you get on the bus and try to get your ticket up. I asked the driver if I could just get on while I log back into my account and then scan my ticket once I’m logged in, but they refused and said I need to scan it before I get on. And I didn’t have time to be messing around with passwords and bad signal, so I had to buy another bus ticket even though I already had a 4weekly ticket on my account! Ridiculous.

New App
The new app is far more accurate than the previous app when tracking buses. There are a few changes when tracking but once I got used to it I’m using it all the time.
not user friendly
the old app was much easier to navigate and you could give a much vager idea of where you were/ wanted to go. Now, you have to know the specific bus stop that you want to leave/ arrive at to actually get the bus times. If you don’t know the area, it’s awful to find out where you’re going.
Features
This is a life saviour as I did not know the exact time the bus would be there. Also bus drivers are as nice as always especially with the change of apps
Arriva Bus App clashes with Apple Pay Wallet
I have reported this issue a few times now but no resolution has been forthcoming - the app will clash with my Apple Wallet App when trying to scan my M-ticket on some of Arriva buses. I have been told by Arriva “Turning off the NFC settings would help this stop happening, as it isn't something we can do to stop it from happening, as the NFC is built into the firmware of your mobile device”, whereas everyone knows it’s not possible to turn off NFC on an iPhone. It needs sorting out - the developer ought to request “Suppress Apple Wallet” certificate from Apple to prevent this clash from occurring.

Waste
Wasted my time downloading this app. Doesn’t work. If I compared it to the old Arriva app. The old one would come out on top
Mostly excellent
After a number of iterations, this version is a great improvement on some of the older versions. I think the map is clear and the bus locations and direction easy to see. I find the interface intuitive and easy to navigate. Of course, not all is perfect! For some reason some of the buses I use (around Derby) are marked as Cancelled when they are not! Also the tracking isn't 100% as buses can appear and disappear from the map. Also, as someone else pointed out, if you tap on a bus on the map I would like to be taken to the bus stop list showing both where the bus is and where I am waiting.

Worse than the original
The old app was so much better. The Ui on this barely work and the tacking for the busses doesn’t work so you can’t tell if a buss was early or running late because the times are also wrong 90% of the time. The apps more complicated to use than the last one for no reason.
Live tracking works most of the time but not enough
You can’t say it’s live tracking if the bus doesn’t turn up , the number 2 just doesn’t turn up sometimes. Ariva has been running buses for 46 and can’t figure out how to get a bus to where it’s supposed to be on time , how can it be called live tracking if the bus is due but there isn’t one within 30 min of me.

Totally ruined the app
The old app worked fine, this new one is incredibly confusing and unreliable, all the stops have different names and are hard to find, bus times are not accurate and I’ve had several buses not turn up despite being on time. Rubbish.
Non existent buses
In some places, it will just completely lie about buses, and it’s not that the bus didn’t show up, it’s that if you check a different bus stop on the same route as the bus your looking for, it’ll have a completely new bus schedule for the same bus only a stop apart. Bring back old app
