The worst app I have ever used

This bus app is genuinely the worst app I have ever had the misfortune of being forced to use. It is inaccurate, unreliable, slow, janky, and straight up wrong most of the time. This app has lied to me on multiple occasions, stopped working out of nowhere, shown inaccurate bus times, hallucinated whole busses then left me stranded multiple times. The layout of the app is downright stupid, and so many little details make it almost unusable if not for the fact that there are no other options available. Overall, I hate it, it’s the bane of my existence and the sole reason I got a job to buy a car.

Lothian buses

It’s a good service to have and well done the drivers there are a few outstanding that make it a pleasant trip thanks

Great app!

Great to look at timetables, download timetable PDFs, check the news and so much more!

Unreliable

For the bus stop next to my house, I’m consistently waiting 10 minutes + over the time said on the app. Then on the odd occasion the bus will be in 4 minutes and look at that, it was 3 minutes early.
