Idk about your experience but I’ve had times when it says a bus will come and not come at all. Usually it’s just off by 5-10 minutes but that messes me up at times when it comes to transferring busses. It’s also route dependent cuz the local ones are the biggest culprits of the misses.

That’s not the app. Those are ghost buses. That were once active but they take offline because they are too full.

It’s real time tracked. Like I said I’ve been using it for years at this point and I don’t have any of the troubles you do.

I’ve seen the same thing, but I think that’s when the live tracking isn’t working for whatever reason or there was a cancelled bus, so the app reverts to the posted bus schedule. If it has the signal icon next to the time then it’s live but if it’s not there then it’s way less accurate.
