Whilst we can see that why have subsequent goverments not done anything to make things better for the general public?

Can someone put a link up to the Transdev app for real time bus arrivals per stop, per route. It should be handy for next time I'm back up yon.

that would be impossible Tealeaf, they arrive when they want to arrive, never ontime and are even worse now with the temporary traffic lights on Blackburn Road

No...No...No. Forget the timetable and whatever it might say on paper. The buses have a sat-nav transmitter that relays their position to your phone via an App, so you can stay in the pub, slowly finish your pint and then walk outside to the bus stop just as it turns up. You know to the minute what time that will be......are you saying that such a thing does not exist in Accy? They have this in Afganistan....OMG!

Exactly. You can't plan because you don't know when they'll turn up...and when they do, then they all turn up at the same time...so which one do you choose?
