App

Easy to use

Change it back!

What have you done, man!? Was absolutely fine the way it was. Just takes longer to see when the bus is now, not kuch use when in a rush. Change it back, rapid.

Edit.
They’ve changed again for no real reason and surprise surprise made it even worse. Go back to original version, it was miles better.

Edit 2.0
They’ve changed again and the original version is still, by far, the best haha!
Changed so live buses aren’t shown together, just next st that stop shows. So you need to press another button to find what one you’re after for real time tracking.
Genuinely used to be so good this app.
Please stop changing it for changing sake.
Every update seems to add another step to finding bus. Used to be instant, now you’re 5 clicks from finding out.

Edit 3 or 4.
It’s as bad as it’s been.
The buses are now totally your luck whether they are shown or not.
Buses count down to leaving time then just disappear from the timetable and don’t show up.
Some buses show x amount of mins away, others show the time ie 203pm arrival.
Just been getting steadily worse as the updates come.
How anyone can vote this 5* is absolutely beyond me.
Terrible app.

Now useless

Tried to access tickets on the app. Message telling me that I need to update app before I can buy tickets. I have the latest update. Just going round in circles between the app and the App Store. Tried removing app and downloading again. No joy.

A4 service

Very efficient service, would like to see the bus route extend to Goldsworthy way
