### 1/5 — Bad Update

*2026-06-07, version 5.20*

Since the update I’ve not been able to access the Centrebus app at all. All I’m getting is an orange screen. This is really inconvenient as I need it to board the Hospital Hopper 😡 I’ll pay my money to Ariva instead and go the long way round! Absolute waste of time 😡

### 1/5 — New update is awful

*2026-04-01, version 5.20*

The new update is dreadful. It doesn’t track the bus. It doesn’t open the map on you, it shows the entire world. It looks old as though it was created on windows 95. Why does it look like that?! 😂 took me a minute to see my pre bought ticket too. It’s hard enough to get the app to work and now it looks broken too.

### 1/5 — Awful UI Change

*2026-03-24, version 5.19*

Looks like some app developed in the 2000s, it’s clunky and difficult to navigate. Please revert the UI to the more modern and clean lool the app had before.

### 1/5 — Bus 46

*2026-03-14, version 4.27*

This is the most unreliable bus in Bedfordshire. The drivers are so disrespectful. The bus will leave you stranded or have you spend on uber. Don’t rely on it!

### 1/5 — Not good at handling complaints

*2026-01-23, version 4.27*

It has now been weeks since I made a formal complaint to Centrebus
They asked for video evidence of which I gave them and issued me with a complaint number.
But obviously thought I would forget about it as before Christmas.
I cannot forget about it as the knocked down sign is still broken outside my home and so are the tyre marks.
Every time I see a 314 bus I shudder!
Maybe this with remind the Operations manager ?

### 3/5 — Nj

*2025-11-24, version 4.27*

I am unable to find a daily bus fare

### 5/5 — My favourite bus!!!

*2025-10-18, version 4.27*

I live near a bus stop! THE 20“rocks along”

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!

*2025-07-07, version 4.27*

It won’t show my bus in the search, in fact it only shows about 8 busses in the search! And the tracker won’t show even 1 bus! Total rubbish.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work many times

*2025-04-28, version 4.27*

I’ve been refused entry on buses many times when the app hasn’t worked.

### 2/5 — Bus

*2025-02-25, version 4.27*

Wish could be more on time as it is an hour and half service with only one bus doing the round trip.
