### 5/5 — Better than stagecoach app

*2026-08-13*

Great App, l use it all the time most busses arrive within 1 minute of it’s time on the App

### 1/5 — Disappointed with service of metro bus

*2026-04-07*

This was an extremely frustrating and unacceptable experience with Metrobus.

I planned my journey carefully and left early to attend an important driving theory test. Despite this, the bus did not arrive on time, which caused a delay completely out of my control. As a result, I arrived late and was unable to take my test.

Because of this failure in service, I have now lost £23 for my theory test and £1.75 on bus fare, which is very upsetting. This situation could have been avoided if the bus had run as scheduled.

Public transport is supposed to be reliable, especially when people depend on it for important appointments. Due to this poor service, I have suffered both financial loss and unnecessary stress.

Metrobus must take responsibility for delays and improve reliability, as this level of service is simply not acceptable.

### 1/5 — Expensive a-holes

*2026-03-15, version 111*
